Product details

The DSC1001CL2-020.5972T is a 20.5972 MHz MEMS-based XO (Standard) from Microchip's DSC1001 series, delivering a CMOS output with ±25 ppm frequency stability across its full operating range.

The wide input range means the same oscillator can serve a 1.8V Cortex-M4 or a 3.3V Spartan-6 without a level shifter on the clock input.

Housed in a 4-SMD, no-lead package measuring 3.20 mm x 2.50 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm. The no-lead package requires a solder-paste stencil with a 0.15–0.20 mm aperture reduction on the pads to avoid bridging during reflow.

Listed as Active by Microchip — this is a current production part with no announced end-of-life. Procurement can commit to the BOM line without a last-time-buy window or successor migration.

Frequently asked questions

Can this oscillator be used in automotive applications?

Yes, the DSC1001CL2-020.5972T is AEC-Q100 qualified, which means it has passed automotive-grade reliability testing.

Does the DSC1001CL2-020.5972T support a standby or power-down mode?

Yes, it has a Standby (Power Down) function. When enabled, the supply current drops to 15 µA max, allowing the clock to be gated in sleep-mode systems without an external load switch.
