Product details

Programmable MEMS oscillator for flexible clock trees

The DSC1101BL5-PROGT is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) oscillator from Microchip's DSC1101 series, delivering a CMOS output across a programmable frequency range of 2.3 MHz to 170 MHz. Unlike a fixed-frequency crystal oscillator, this part ships as a blank device that must be programmed to the desired output frequency before use — a key distinction for BOM planning and prototype turnaround.

The supply voltage range of 2.25V to 3.6V lets it run from common 2.5V or 3.3V rails without an external regulator.

Standby function and package footprint

The 6-VDFN package measures 5.00 mm x 3.20 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm, a standard footprint that matches many quartz oscillator land patterns.

Frequently asked questions

What is the frequency range of the DSC1101BL5-PROGT?

The oscillator ships blank and must be programmed to the desired output frequency before use.

How do you program the DSC1101BL5-PROGT?

Microchip provides a programming utility and hardware (such as the TimeFlash or related programmer) to set the output frequency on blank DSC1101 devices. The part does not come pre-configured — factor programming time into your prototype and production flow.

Is the DSC1101BL5-PROGT obsolete?

No — the product status is Active, with no end-of-life or discontinuation notice from Microchip. It remains available for new designs.

What is the output type of the DSC1101BL5-PROGT?

The output is CMOS, which is compatible with most digital logic families and MCU clock inputs without external level translation.
