Product details

Programmable blank — frequency set at the line

Shipped as a blank (unprogrammed) device, the DSC8121AE5 requires a one-time frequency configuration via Microchip's programming tools before it can generate a clock output — this suits high-mix production where a single BOM line covers multiple frequency variants.

The DSC8121 series is a standard catalog product; no official pin-compatible second source or successor is recorded, but the wide supply range and CMOS output make it a direct fit for any 6-pin MEMS oscillator footprint on the board.

Frequently asked questions

What frequency range does the DSC8121AE5 support?

The DSC8121AE5 covers 10 MHz to 170 MHz. The device ships blank and must be programmed to the desired output frequency before use.
