Why choose a MEMS oscillator over a quartz crystal for 7.3728 MHz?
Its supply voltage spans 1.71V to 3.63V, so it runs from a 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V rail without a separate LDO — handy when the MCU or SoC core voltage shifts between prototypes.
Automotive-grade timing for harsh environments
Package footprint and hand-solderability
Housed in a 4-VLGA package measuring 2.50 mm x 2.00 mm with a seated height of 0.89 mm, this is a tiny surface-mount part — a hot-air rework station or a fine-tipped iron with flux works for hand assembly if you're careful. The 4-pin VLGA footprint is common across the DSC60XX family, so swapping frequencies within the series doesn't require a board layout change.
