The MEMS resonator inherently withstands shock and vibration better than quartz, reducing the risk of frequency shift in high-g environments like engine bays or industrial machinery.
Operates from 1.8V to 3.3V, covering 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic rails without an external regulator — a single supply rail serves the oscillator and the downstream PHY or FPGA bank.
Housed in a 4-SMD, no-lead package measuring 5.00 mm x 3.20 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — a standard footprint that matches many quartz XO pinouts, easing drop-in replacement.
No official second-source or pin-compatible alternative is listed by Microchip; the DSC1001 family is the sole reference for this frequency and stability grade.
