The DSC8001BL5T: The part is supplied as a blank device (user-programmable), meaning the output frequency is set during board assembly or via a one-time factory programming step — not pre-configured at the distributor. This suits designs that use a single oscillator footprint across multiple frequency variants.
The no-lead construction eliminates solder-joint fatigue from thermal cycling — a benefit for automotive modules that undergo repeated engine heat cycles.
Microchip lists the DSC8001BL5T as Active (current production).
