DSC8101DI5T

Overview

The DSC8101DI5T is a programmable MEMS oscillator from Microchip Technology, housed in a compact 6-SMD, no-lead package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.25 V to 3.6 V and delivers a CMOS output signal. The device supports frequency configurations between 10 MHz and 100 MHz with an overall frequency stability of ±25 ppm. Designed for industrial environments, it functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum supply current of 35 mA and a standby current of 95 µA when disabled.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon MEMS technology for enhanced reliability compared to traditional quartz crystals
• Features programmable frequency generation allowing customization without hardware changes
• Includes a low-power standby mode to reduce energy consumption during idle periods

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring precise timing signals
• Automotive electronics operating under strict environmental conditions
• Communication infrastructure equipment needing stable clock sources

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DI5T against official Microchip documentation to confirm the exact frequency, package type, and temperature grade. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required operational parameters for your design. Cross-reference the datasheet for any recent product change notices or marking updates before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor and robust performance are required. Consider the ±25 ppm stability and 100 MHz upper limit against system requirements. Evaluate the 6-SMD package suitability for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the 2.25 V to 3.6 V supply range aligns with the target board power distribution architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DSC8101 series of programmable MEMS oscillators. It serves as a drop-in replacement for fixed-frequency crystal resonators in many applications. The series offers various package options and stability grades to suit different cost and performance needs.

Replacement Considerations
