The key advantage: no load-capacitance matching, no startup margin to calculate, and the frequency is set at the factory.
Microchip no longer manufactures this exact order code.
Power budget and standby behavior
Active current is 3 mA typical at 24 MHz — low enough for a battery-powered sensor node that runs intermittently. The output goes high-impedance in standby; the downstream logic must handle a floating clock input or pull it low externally.
Housed in a 4-SMD, No Lead package measuring 2.50 mm x 2.00 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm. The 0.098" x 0.079" footprint is common among MEMS oscillators — it matches the standard 2.5 x 2.0 mm land pattern used by SiTime and others. No via-in-pad required; standard reflow profile for an MSL 1 device.
