Product details

Supply voltage and frequency stability

Operates from a single 1.7V to 3.6V supply, covering 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic rails without an external level translator. Maximum supply current is 6 mA at 20 MHz — low enough that the oscillator's draw is negligible in a 100 mA+ system budget, but worth checking if the rail is shared with a sensitive analog front-end.

Housed in a 4-SMD, No Lead package measuring 2.50mm x 2.00mm with a seated height of 0.90mm. The 0.098" x 0.079" footprint matches the industry-standard 2.5x2.0mm oscillator land pattern — no special fan-out or via-in-pad required. The 4-pin layout is identical to a standard quartz XO, so the DSC1003DL5-020.0000T drops onto the same PCB footprint as a 20 MHz crystal oscillator module.

This is a current-design-in part, not a last-time-buy or obsolete surplus item.

Frequently asked questions

Is DSC1003DL5-020.0000T a direct replacement for a standard 20 MHz crystal oscillator?

Yes, in most cases. It is a 20 MHz XO with CMOS output in the same 4-pin 2.5x2.0mm SMD footprint as a standard quartz oscillator. Check that your board's supply voltage falls within 1.7V to 3.6V and that the standby function pin mapping matches your design.

Can I use DSC1003DL5-020.0000T in an automotive design?

Yes. The MEMS construction also withstands the shock and vibration typical in automotive environments better than a quartz resonator.

Is DSC1003DL5-020.0000T obsolete or end-of-life?

No. The product status is Active. Microchip has not issued an NRND or EOL notice for this order code. It is suitable for new designs.

What is the difference between DSC1003 and DSC1004?

The DSC1003 and DSC1004 are both MEMS oscillators from Microchip, but the DSC1004 typically offers a wider supply voltage range or additional output options. For this specific order code, the DSC1003DL5-020.0000T is a 20 MHz, CMOS output, ±10 ppm device. The DSC1004 series may include different frequency stabilities or output types — check the respective datasheets for the exact parametric differences.
