Product details

MEMS resonator vs quartz — what changes for the BOM

The DSC8101BL2: It is a blank (user-programmable) device: you order the unprogrammed part and configure the output frequency via Microchip's programming tools. The available frequency range spans 10 MHz to 170 MHz, covering most common clock rates for MCUs, FPGAs, and Ethernet PHYs.

A standby (disable) function drops the current to 95 µA max, which matters for battery-powered or duty-cycled systems where the oscillator is gated off between active periods.

Temperature grade and frequency stability

Operating temperature range is -40°C to +105°C — industrial grade with margin above the standard 85°C ceiling. No special layout rules beyond the usual bypass capacitor at the supply pin.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to DSC8101BL2 in this Crystals & Oscillators family?

Within the DSC8101 series, the only parametric difference between order codes is the factory-programmed frequency and stability grade. The DSC8101BL2 is a blank (user-programmable) variant; a pre-programmed fixed-frequency part from the same series is pin-compatible but ships already configured.
