Product details

What this MEMS oscillator brings to the board

The DSC1001CL2-012.0000T is a 12 MHz MEMS-based oscillator (XO) from Microchip's DSC1001 series, delivering a CMOS output with ±25 ppm frequency stability across its full -40°C to 105°C range. Unlike a quartz crystal that needs external load capacitors and an inverter, this is a complete oscillator in a 4-SMD no-lead package — drop it on the board, connect 1.8V to 3.3V, and it clocks.

AEC-Q100 qualification and the temperature envelope

Power budget and standby behaviour

Drawing a maximum of 6.3 mA when active, the DSC1001CL2-012.0000T is efficient enough for a battery-backed module; in standby (power-down) the current drops to 15 µA max, letting the system sleep the clock tree without a separate gating FET. The standby function is a logic-level pin — pull it low and the output stops, the core goes to sleep, and the supply current falls to the microamp range. No external enable circuit needed.

Supply voltage flexibility

The wide 1.8V to 3.3V supply range means the same oscillator works across a 1.8V MCU, a 2.5V FPGA bank, or a 3.3V peripheral bus — no level translator or separate LDO for the clock source.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy DSC1001CL2-012.0000T and what is the lead time?

This is an active-production part. We source it through independent distribution channels; submit an RFQ for your target quantity and we will confirm availability and current pricing. Lead time is quoted per order.

Is DSC1001CL2-012.0000T compatible with a 3.3V supply?

Yes. The supply voltage range is 1.8V to 3.3V, so it works on a 3.3V rail directly — no external regulator needed for the oscillator.

Can this MEMS oscillator replace a quartz crystal oscillator on my board?

Functionally yes — it provides a 12 MHz CMOS clock output with ±25 ppm stability. But the footprint is a 4-SMD no-lead package, different from a typical 2-pin crystal. You will need a PCB layout change; the pinout and supply connection differ from a passive crystal circuit.
