DSC8001BL5

Programmable Oscillators Overview

The DSC8001BL5 is a programmable MEMS oscillator from Microchip Technology, housed in a compact 4-SMD, No Lead package measuring 3.20mm x 2.50mm. It supports a frequency range of 1 MHz to 150 MHz with CMOS output format and ±10 ppm frequency stability. The device operates on a supply voltage between 1.8V and 3.3V, drawing a maximum current of 12.2mA during active operation and reducing to 15 µA in standby mode. It is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and holds AEC-Q100 qualification.

Programmable Oscillators Feature Summary

• Utilizes MEMS technology for robust clock generation
• Offers user-programmable blank configuration for flexible frequency selection
• Includes standby functionality to minimize power consumption
• Qualified for automotive applications under AEC-Q100 standards

Programmable Oscillators Applications

• Automotive electronic systems requiring qualified timing sources
• Industrial equipment needing stable programmable clocks
• Consumer electronics utilizing low-power MEMS oscillators

Programmable Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BL5 against official Microchip documentation to confirm the extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and AEC-Q100 qualification status. Ensure compatibility with the required programming tools, as this is a blank programmable device. Confirm package dimensions and pinout details match your PCB layout requirements before finalizing orders.

Programmable Oscillators Selection Notes

Select the DSC8001BL5 when automotive-grade reliability and wide temperature operation are required. Compare it against the BI5 variant if a narrower temperature range suffices. Consider the need for external programming hardware since this is a blank programmable unit. Evaluate power constraints given the standby current specifications.

Programmable Oscillators Part Context

This component belongs to the DSC8001 series of unprogrammed MEMS oscillators. It shares the same core architecture and package style as other variants like the DSC8001BI5 and DSC8001CI5, differing primarily in temperature rating and automotive qualification. The series provides a scalable solution for designers needing customizable frequencies within a small footprint.

Programmable Oscillators Replacement Considerations

The DSC8001BI5 serves as a direct substitute if the wider temperature range and automotive qualification are not strictly necessary. Verify that the replacement part meets all electrical and mechanical specifications for the target application.
