MEMS oscillator with wide-temperature rating
The DSC8101AM2: The standby function pulls the output into high-impedance and drops the quiescent current — useful for power-gated designs where the oscillator must not load the bus during sleep.
Blank-programmable — frequency set at assembly
The DSC8101AM2 ships as a blank device (— Blank (User Must Program)), meaning the output frequency is not factory-set. You program it during board assembly via Microchip's TimeFlash or a compatible programmer. This lets a single BOM line cover multiple frequency variants — the same reel feeds 25 MHz, 50 MHz, and 125 MHz builds, reducing inventory line items. For a 100 MHz clock, that is ±2,500 Hz worst-case — tight enough for most MCU and FPGA reference clocks without a separate VCXO.
6-SMD package and reflow fit
The land pattern is standard for this footprint class — no exotic pad geometry that fights the pick-and-place nozzle. The 0.90 mm height keeps it under most low-profile enclosure lids and heatsink standoffs. This is the total current drawn from the supply rail — budget it into the power tree alongside the load capacitance drive current, which adds a few mA per pF at higher frequencies.
