Programmable frequency range and supply tolerance
The DSC1101AL3-PROG covers a 3.3 MHz to 170 MHz output range from a single blank device — you program the exact frequency at the board level, which collapses multiple fixed-frequency line items into one BOM entry.
Industrial temperature and standby for field duty
CMOS output with 35 mA max supply current — the drive strength is adequate for a single fan-out to a microcontroller clock input; for multiple loads, buffer the output.
Microchip Technology is the sole manufacturer. No direct pin-compatible second source is listed; the DSC1101 series itself covers the same footprint across frequency options.
