The DSC8001CI5: Maximum supply current is 12.2 mA during active oscillation, while the standby (disable) mode drops consumption to just 15 µA — useful for battery-backed RTC or wake-on-event subsystems where the oscillator must idle between active periods.
Package, footprint, and rework considerations
Supplied in tube packaging; for high-volume pick-and-place, verify the tube-to-reel transfer or order the tape-and-reel variant of the base product number.
Programming and frequency flexibility
The DSC8001CI5 is a blank (user-programmable) device — the output frequency is not fixed at manufacture but set by the buyer using Microchip's programming tools or a pre-programmed order code. This covers the full 1 MHz to 150 MHz range with a single part number, reducing inventory SKUs for a design house that needs multiple frequencies across different board variants. Total frequency stability of ±10 ppm includes initial tolerance, temperature drift, and aging — tight enough for 100BASE-TX Ethernet clocking and most CAN/FlexRay node timing.
