Product details

Active MEMS oscillator – programmable frequency, standby function

The 2.25V to 3.6V supply range covers both 2.5V and 3.3V logic rails without an extra regulator.

Package and footprint – 6-VDFN with exposed pad

The 6-VDFN exposed-pad package measures 7.00 mm x 5.00 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm. Use a 0.50 mm pitch stencil for the perimeter pads; the centre pad needs a via array under the part to pull heat into the inner layers.

Frequently asked questions

How do I program the DSC1101AL3-PROGT blank oscillator?

The DSC1101AL3-PROGT ships blank and requires programming before use. Microchip provides a programming tool and software (typically a TimeFlash or similar programmer) that writes the target frequency into the device's internal non-volatile memory. The part can be programmed on a strip or after soldering if the board provides access to the programming pins. Refer to the DSC1101 series programming guide for the exact pin sequence and timing.

What is the standby power-down function on the DSC1101AL3-PROGT?

The standby (power-down) function disables the output and puts the oscillator into a low-power state. When the standby pin is asserted, the output goes high-impedance and the supply current drops to a few microamps — typically below 1 µA. This is useful for battery-powered systems that need to disable the clock tree during sleep modes.
