Product details

MEMS resonator with programmable frequency range

Supply voltage and temperature grade for industrial environments

Supply voltage spans 2.25V to 3.6V — one part covers both 2.5V and 3.3V logic rails without a separate regulator, simplifying the power tree. Operating temperature is -40°C to 105°C, the industrial band. That covers outdoor base stations, factory-floor PLCs, and under-hood automotive modules (though the part is not AEC-Q100 listed).

Frequency stability and supply current

Frequency stability is ±10 ppm — tight enough for 100BASE-T Ethernet, USB, and most serial interfaces without needing a TCXO.

The 6-VDFN exposed pad package measures 7.00 mm x 5.00 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — a standard 7x5 oscillator footprint that matches many quartz XO footprints, so a board designed for a quartz part can often accept this MEMS oscillator without a layout change.

Active production — ordering and programming

The part ships blank; you program the frequency using Microchip's TimeFlash field programmer or the factory programming service. No external programmer is required if you order pre-programmed from Microchip or an authorized distributor.

Frequently asked questions

Is DSC1101AL5-PROG a MEMS programmable oscillator?

Yes. The base resonator is MEMS, and the part is a blank-programmable XO (Standard) — you set the output frequency between 3.3 MHz and 170 MHz using Microchip's TimeFlash programmer or factory service.
