8 MHz MEMS oscillator — what the ratings mean for your clock tree
The DSC1101AI1-008.0000T: The ±50 ppm APR covers initial tolerance, temperature drift, and aging, which is tight enough for UART, I2C, SPI, and most general-purpose clocking.
For a battery-powered sensor node that sleeps 99% of the time, this extends run time significantly. The enable pin is active-low; floating it leaves the oscillator running.
The pad is the same size as the package bottom; the PCB land pattern should match the recommended footprint in the datasheet. The MEMS resonator itself is rated for wider storage limits, but the silicon interface limits the operating range.
