Automotive-grade MEMS oscillator for 24.576 MHz clock trees
The DSC1201NI1-24M57600 is a MEMS-based standard oscillator (XO) from Microchip's DSC12X1 series, delivering a 24.576 MHz CMOS output across a 2.25V to 3.63V supply range — covering both 2.5V and 3.3V logic rails without an extra regulator.
Frequency stability and supply tolerance for timing margin
The 27 mA typical supply current at 24.576 MHz is competitive with quartz oscillators of similar frequency, while the MEMS resonator offers better shock resistance (tested per AEC-Q100) and faster production lead times.
Package footprint and board-level integration
Housed in a 6-VDFN package measuring 7.00 mm × 5.00 mm with a 0.90 mm seated height — a standard 7×5 mm oscillator footprint that matches many quartz XO pads, easing drop-in replacement during BOM consolidation. Surface-mount mounting with a 6-pin VDFN layout; the enable/standby pin is active-high by default — confirm the logic level with the datasheet truth table before tying it to a GPIO.
