Product details

MEMS oscillator, blank-programmable, 2.5-170 MHz

The DSC1201BA3-PROG: This is not a pre-programmed part; the BOM line must account for the programming step or order a pre-programmed variant from the DSC12X1 family.

AEC-Q100 and the 6-VDFN footprint

For a design targeting PPAP or IATF 16949 compliance, this certification removes the need for separate reliability testing of the clock source.

Frequently asked questions

Does DSC1201BA3-PROG come pre-programmed?

No, the DSC1201BA3-PROG ships as a blank device — the user must program the desired output frequency using Microchip's programming tools before assembly. Pre-programmed variants are available under different order codes in the DSC12X1 family.

Can DSC1201BA3-PROG be used as a replacement for standard quartz oscillators?

Yes, because it is a MEMS-based XO with CMOS output, it can replace standard quartz oscillators in the same footprint and supply voltage range, offering better shock and vibration resistance and wider temperature stability (±20 ppm total).
