The DSC6001CE2A-025.6000T is a MEMS-based XO (standard oscillator) from Microchip's DSC60XX series, delivering a 25.6 MHz CMOS output with ±25 ppm frequency stability across its -20°C to +70°C commercial temperature range. Its 1.71V to 3.63V supply range means it can run directly from a 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V rail without an intermediate LDO — a clean fit for multi-voltage designs where the oscillator must follow the core or I/O supply.
AEC-Q100 qualification and automotive deployment
The 4-SMD no-lead package (3.20 mm x 2.50 mm, 0.90 mm seated height) is a standard ceramic land-grid array footprint — no via-in-pad required, reflow profile matches JEDEC J-STD-020 for MSL 1 parts.
Microchip lists the DSC6001CE2A-025.6000T as Obsolete. For new designs or a pin-compatible drop-in, evaluate the active DSC60XX variants with the same 4-SMD footprint and supply range. A parametric search on 25.6 MHz, CMOS output, and AEC-Q100 will surface current-production alternatives.
