The DSC8123DI5T: The wide supply range also simplifies BOM consolidation: a single oscillator variant can serve multiple voltage rails across a mixed-signal board, reducing line-item count.
Programmable blank — user-configured frequency
The DSC8123DI5T ships as a blank (unprogrammed) device; the end user programs the target frequency within the 10 MHz to 460 MHz range using Microchip's programming tools. This suits prototype runs and low-to-mid volume production where stocking a single blank part for multiple frequency plans reduces inventory complexity. For high-volume builds, pre-programmed factory options are available under different order codes in the DSC8123 family — the blank approach trades per-unit programming time for supply-chain flexibility.
Temperature grade and industrial deployment
The ±10 ppm stability holds across this range, keeping the clock accurate enough for 10/100 Ethernet and basic SerDes links without external temperature compensation.
