Why choose a MEMS oscillator over quartz for a 4 MHz clock
Housed in a 4-SMD, No Lead package measuring 0.098" × 0.079" (2.50 mm × 2.00 mm) with a seated height of 0.035" (0.90 mm). This is a standard 2.0 × 2.5 mm SMD footprint for MEMS oscillators — the pad layout matches the industry-common 4-pin configuration, so a board designed for a quartz oscillator in the same footprint can accept this part with no layout change.
Supply voltage range and design margin
No external regulator or level shifter is needed when moving between a 3.3 V MCU and a 1.8 V I/O bank — the same oscillator serves both domains.
Active lifecycle — sourcing for production and prototype
Microchip lists the DSC1001DE1-004.0000T as Active.
