Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact frequency, package variant, and packing media (tube) prior to purchase. Ensure the selected part matches the required output voltage levels and load conditions for your circuit design. Confirm that the programming tool compatibility aligns with your development workflow. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding marking or assembly locations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a drop-in replacement for standard 6-pin LVPECL quartz oscillators is needed. Consider the DSC8102 series for its small form factor and low jitter characteristics. Evaluate the need for field-programmability versus fixed-frequency alternatives based on production volume and testing requirements. Ensure the supply voltage range matches the system's power rails.

Part Context

The DSC8102BI2 belongs to the DSC8102/DSC8122 family of programmable low-jitter precision oscillators. These devices are designed as direct replacements for traditional quartz oscillators, offering flexibility in frequency selection without custom manufacturing delays. The BI2 suffix typically denotes a specific package and temperature grade configuration within the broader product line.

Replacement Considerations

This component serves as a drop-in replacement for standard 6-pin LVPECL quartz oscillators. When substituting, verify that the new MEMS-based device meets the same footprint and pinout requirements. Ensure the jitter specifications and frequency stability of the replacement match or exceed the original design constraints.
