The DSC8001BI5: Active current draw is 12.2 mA max at full rated frequency, a figure that includes the MEMS resonator drive and CMOS output buffer.
Programmable blank — factory-fresh, user-configured
Shipped as a blank (unprogrammed) device, the DSC8001BI5 requires the user to program the target frequency via Microchip's programming tools before assembly — a workflow that keeps a single stock-keeping unit covering the entire 1–150 MHz band. This contrasts with fixed-frequency oscillators that must be ordered per frequency; the blank approach reduces BOM line count and inventory complexity for multi-frequency designs.
Supplied in tube packaging, the part is compatible with pick-and-place equipment; the no-lead construction eliminates bent-lead inspection at incoming QC.
