Blank (User Must Program) — DSC1100DL3-PROGT
The DSC1100DL3-PROGT is a blank (user must program) oscillator from Microchip's DSC1100 series, meaning it arrives without a pre-set frequency — the buyer programs it to the exact output frequency their design requires. This is not a fixed-frequency part; it is a factory-blank device that must be written before it can generate a clock signal, which affects both the procurement workflow (programming step needed) and the engineering timeline.
6-VDFN Package — Surface-Mount Footprint
Housed in a 6-VDFN package measuring 2.50 mm x 2.00 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm, this oscillator fits tight board layouts where height is constrained — common in portable, IoT, and space-limited designs. The surface-mount package (6-VDFN) requires a standard reflow soldering profile; the small footprint (0.098" x 0.079") means the PCB pad layout must match the datasheet recommendation to avoid tombstoning or poor solder joints.
