FAQs

A DigiKey silicon part number, specific programming file/configuration and device markings (if any) make a DigiKey custom part number.

Click here to contact our custom quote department for a quote and assistance in purchasing DigiKey product programmed with proprietary IP. Programmed oscillators are purchased from the DigiKey website and include your required operating frequency in the web order notes. SiTime Corporation oscillators do not require you to provide operating frequency to program.

A first article is a programming verification process in which DigiKey ships a customer up to 10 pieces of a part programmed with code provided by the customer. The customer will then test and verify that the programming done by DigiKey works in their application and sign a First Article Agreement form for DigiKey to proceed with their production order.

Programmable products with a 'verified' status have full hardware and software programming support. 'Not Verified' components means that programming support has not been reviewed or confirmed. Contact us to request device support.

Yes! DigiKey can ship custom programmed products to international addresses provided the customer has provided an updated ECCN (Export Control Classification Number) and Commodity Classification Automated Tracking Systems (CCATS) documentation for the programmed product.

How do I obtain an ECCN for my programmed product?

The customer is responsible for requesting Export Control Classification Number (ECCNs) through the US Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry & Security at www.bis.doc.gov.  Customers are to provide the Commodity Classification Automated Tracking Systems (CCATS) documentation to DigiKey prior to the First Article Inspection order.

Why do I have to request an ECCN for a programmed product?

When parts are programmed with proprietary IP, the base part ECCNs (Export Control Classification Numbers) are no longer valid and therefore export classifications need to be reassigned. The customer is required to reclassify with the Bureau of Industry and Security and relay the documents and information to DigiKey.

Microchip and SiTime oscillators are customizable in many configurations resulting in millions of part numbers. Contact us with your part number request and we will create it in the order system.
