The DSC8001BL2T: Active current draw is 12.2 mA max, while the standby (disable) mode drops to 15 µA max — the 800× ratio means a microcontroller that sleeps between sensor reads can leave the oscillator powered and still keep the battery budget under control. The standby function (pin-controlled) disables the output while keeping the MEMS resonator biased, so the restart time is faster than a full power cycle — relevant for wake-on-event designs.
Supplied in tape and reel — the package is pick-and-place ready for high-volume assembly lines without a feeder change.
Frequency stability and programmability
The device is a blank (user-programmable) type, meaning the output frequency is set at programming — not a fixed-frequency part. Order the programmed frequency variant or program in-system with Microchip's field programmer.
