The DSC8001AI5: The MEMS resonator construction provides inherent shock and vibration resistance compared to quartz-based oscillators, making it suitable for harsh automotive and industrial deployments.
Supply voltage and frequency stability for timing-critical designs
Total frequency stability of ±10ppm ensures tight clock accuracy over temperature and voltage, critical for CAN, Ethernet, or sensor timing in automotive modules.
Programmable blank — user-configured frequency via Microchip tools
The DSC8001AI5 is shipped as a blank (unprogrammed) device; the end user must program the desired output frequency using Microchip's TimeFlash or similar field-programming tools. This programmability allows a single ordering code to cover the full 1 MHz to 150 MHz range, reducing inventory complexity for designs that require multiple clock frequencies.
