The DSC1121DL2-032.0000 is a 32 MHz MEMS-based oscillator from Microchip's DSC1121 series, delivering a CMOS output over a 2.25V to 3.6V supply range.
The wide supply tolerance (2.25V to 3.6V) means it can run directly from a 3.3V or 2.5V rail without an LDO, saving a component and a decoupling cap.
Enable/Disable function for power-sensitive designs
In a battery-backed ECU or sensor module that sleeps between wake cycles, this saves tens of milliamps that would otherwise drain the reserve capacitor.
The trade-off is that MEMS oscillators typically consume slightly more current than a quartz equivalent at the same frequency, but the 35 mA max draw is well within the budget of most automotive modules.
Housed in a 6-SMD, No Lead package measuring 2.50mm x 2.00mm with a seated height of 0.90mm, this oscillator fits tight PCB stacks in camera modules, ADAS ECUs, or telematics controllers. The 6-pin footprint requires a single ground pour under the body — no thermal pad, no via-in-pad. Standard reflow profile for lead-free solder applies.
