Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency configuration required for the application, as this part is blank-programmable and requires user initialization. Confirm that the LVPECL output format aligns with the receiving logic levels. Ensure the operating temperature range meets environmental specifications. Check for RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a concern. Validate the QFN-4 package dimensions against PCB footprint constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a programmable MEMS oscillator with LVPECL outputs is needed. Consider the 10 ppm stability requirement for timing accuracy. Evaluate the 2.25 V to 3.6 V supply range compatibility. Assess the need for standby functionality in power-sensitive designs. Compare against other DSC8102 variants for different output formats or temperature ranges.

Part Context
