The DSC8103DI2: The LVDS output delivers a low-voltage differential signal that rejects common-mode noise on long PCB traces or twisted-pair runs — useful when the oscillator sits on a separate board from the downstream clock receiver in an ECU or sensor module.
Frequency range, stability, and temperature envelope
The ±25 ppm figure is the total frequency deviation over temperature, supply, and aging — not just the temperature coefficient — so the timing budget for the CAN-FD or Ethernet PHY reference clock stays tight across the automotive temperature profile.
Programming and procurement posture
The DSC8103DI2 is a blank (user-programmable) device — it ships without a pre-set output frequency. The buyer programs the frequency using Microchip's TimeFlash field programmer or a factory-programmed order code. This blank variant gives the BOM flexibility to use one part number across multiple frequency builds, but the programming step adds a handling cost that a fixed-frequency XO avoids.
