The DSC1000DL5-PROGT is a blank (unprogrammed) member of Microchip's DSC100 series of MEMS oscillators. It ships without a frequency set, so the user must program it before use — this is the defining procurement and design consideration for this order code. Housed in a 4-VDFN package measuring 2.50mm x 2.00mm with a seated height of 0.90mm, it suits space-constrained PCBs where a traditional quartz crystal plus load caps would take up more board area.
Microchip lists the DSC1000DL5-PROGT as Active.
Programming workflow — what the blank part requires
Because the part is a Blank (User Must Program) type, the buyer or contract manufacturer must have access to Microchip's programming tools and software to set the output frequency. The part does not generate a clock until programmed.
