The DSC1001CL2-006.0053 is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) oscillator from Microchip's DSC1001 series, delivering a fixed 6.0053 MHz CMOS output. It is a drop-in replacement for quartz-based oscillators in applications that need better shock and vibration tolerance — the MEMS resonator handles 50,000 g shock versus ~1,000 g for typical quartz cans. The 1.7V to 3.6V supply rail means it runs off a 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V rail directly — no extra regulator needed. AEC-Q100 qualification (Grade 1, by inference from the temperature range) makes it suitable for under-hood automotive electronics, outdoor telecom base stations, and factory-floor motor drives where the ambient hits 105°C.
Standby power and board-level fit
Active current is 8 mA max at full speed. The 4-VDFN package measures 3.20mm x 2.50mm with a seated height of 0.90mm. That is a compact footprint for a 6 MHz oscillator — the land pattern fits under a QFN or BGA without crowding the decoupling caps. No via-in-pad required; standard reflow profile works.
For volume, the reel option (DSC1001CL2-006.0053T) is the usual order code — confirm the suffix with your BOM.
