MEMS oscillator for field-programmable clock trees
The DSC1200NL3-PROG is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) from Microchip's DSC1200 series, supplied as a blank device that the user programs to any frequency between 2.5 MHz and 450 MHz. The 6-VDFN package (7.00mm x 5.00mm, 0.90mm seated height) fits a standard oscillator footprint — the same land pattern used by many quartz oscillators, so a board spin is not required when migrating from quartz to MEMS.
Supply voltage and power-down control
Operating from 2.25 V to 3.63 V, the DSC1200NL3-PROG covers common 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic rails without an external regulator — one supply rail serves the full range.
Programming workflow and lifecycle
Because the device ships as a blank (user-programmable), procurement lead time includes the programming step — either factory-programmed orders or in-house programming with Microchip's TimeFlash or a compatible programmer.
