MEMS resonator vs quartz: what changes on the BOM
The DSC6101MA3B-PROGT: This matters for automotive, industrial, and portable applications where board-level shock is a risk. The part ships as a blank device — the user programs the output frequency before assembly. The BOM must include a programming step (Microchip's TimeFlash or factory pre-programming service) unless the order code specifies a pre-programmed variant. The available frequency range is 3.5 kHz to 100 MHz, covering common microcontroller, CAN, and Ethernet clock rates.
Supply voltage, output, and package fit
The CMOS output drives standard digital loads directly — no level translation needed for most MCU and FPGA clock inputs. Typical supply current is 3 mA at the maximum frequency — low enough that thermal dissipation in the 4-VFLGA package is negligible even at 125°C ambient.
