The DSC8122CI5T: For a power-train or chassis-domain ECU that sees -40°C cold starts and 85°C under-hood soak, the grade-2 temperature range is the relevant reliability floor.
Blank-programmable — frequency set at the line
The DSC8122CI5T ships as a blank (user-programmable) device. The frequency is set during board-level programming via Microchip's TimeFlash or a production programmer. This avoids stocking multiple fixed-frequency SKUs — one BOM line covers the full 10 MHz to 460 MHz range, and the frequency is locked at the last step before reflow.
The land pattern matches the standard 6-pin MEMS oscillator footprint — no via-in-pad required. The enable/disable pin pulls the output to high-impedance when driven low, which lets multiple oscillators share a clock bus without contention.
