Product details

The DSC8121CM2: When disabled, the output goes high-impedance, not a fixed logic level — the downstream receiver should have a pull-up or pull-down to avoid a floating input.

Programmable blank — order the unprogrammed part

This is a Blank (User Must Program) variant — the device ships without a frequency programmed. You need a Microtech TimeFlash programmer or a factory-programmed version (DSC8121xx prefix) for a ready-to-use oscillator. The blank part gives flexibility for low-volume prototypes or multi-frequency BOM consolidation.

The land pattern matches the standard 6-pad footprint for MEMS oscillators in this form factor — no special via-in-pad or thermal relief required for the supply pins. Surface-mount assembly with a standard reflow profile; the MEMS die is hermetically sealed in the package, so no moisture sensitivity level (MSL) concern beyond the standard JEDEC level 1 handling.

Frequently asked questions

What is the frequency range and output type of the DSC8121CM2?

The DSC8121CM2 covers 10 MHz to 170 MHz with a CMOS output.

Does the DSC8121CM2 come pre-programmed with a frequency?

No — this is a Blank (User Must Program) variant. It ships without a frequency programmed and requires a Microchip TimeFlash programmer to set the output frequency. For a factory-programmed part, order a DSC8121xx variant with the desired frequency in the part number.
