Product details

The DSC1201NA3-PROGT is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) from Microchip's DSC12X1 series, delivering a CMOS output across a programmable frequency range of 2.5 MHz to 170 MHz.

Programming and frequency flexibility

Supplied as a blank device (User Must Program), the DSC1201NA3-PROGT is programmed with the target frequency after assembly, using Microchip's TimeFlash or compatible field programmers. The wide supply range of 2.25V to 3.63V allows it to run from common 2.5V, 3.0V, or 3.3V rails without an extra regulator.

Package and mounting note

Housed in a 6-VDFN package measuring 7.00mm x 5.00mm with a seated height of 0.90mm, it sits low on the board and suits pick-and-place assembly. Surface-mount footprint: the 6-VDFN is a standard land pattern — no via-in-pad or exotic fan-out required.

Frequently asked questions

How do I program the DSC1201NA3-PROGT oscillator?

The DSC1201NA3-PROGT ships as a blank device — you program the target frequency after assembly using Microchip's TimeFlash programmer or compatible field programming tools. The programming interface uses the device's standby pin and supply lines; refer to the DSC12X1 programming guide for the exact sequence.

Is the DSC1201NA3-PROGT a drop-in replacement for a fixed-frequency DSC1201NA3?

The DSC1201NA3-PROGT is the programmable version of the same base part number. It is pin-compatible with the fixed-frequency DSC1201NA3 in the same 6-VDFN package — same footprint, same supply range, same output type. The difference is that the PROGT variant requires programming before use, while the fixed version comes pre-configured.
