Product details

MEMS resonator, ±10 ppm total stability over temperature

The DSC8121CL5T: The ±10 ppm total frequency stability includes temperature, supply, and aging effects — a tighter window than the ±25 ppm or ±50 ppm common in basic quartz oscillators, so the timing budget in a 100 MHz+ data path stays within margin without a separate TCXO.

Blank-programmable, 6-SMD No Lead footprint

This part is a blank (user-programmable) device — the factory ships unprogrammed, and the target frequency is written via Microchip's TimeFlash or a compatible programmer before assembly.

Active production, sourced per RFQ

The blank-programmable nature means the distributor or a programming house can load the target frequency before shipment, reducing the number of line items on the BOM.

Frequently asked questions

What is the frequency range and stability of the DSC8121CL5T?
