Product details

The DSC6001HI2B-003.5900 is a 3.59 MHz XO (Standard) oscillator from Microchip Technology's DSC60XXB series, built on a MEMS resonator rather than a quartz crystal.

Automotive qualification and MEMS reliability

The -40°C to 85°C range covers cabin and most engine-bay ambient conditions; for a 3.59 MHz clock feeding a CAN transceiver or MCU, the ±25 ppm stability keeps the bit timing within tolerance without external trimming.

Package and board-fit for space-constrained designs

Housed in a 4-VFLGA package measuring 1.60mm x 1.20mm with a seated height of 0.89mm, this oscillator fits into compact modules and multi-layer PCBs where board real estate is tight. The 0.50 mm pitch LGA footprint requires careful pad design and solder-paste stencil aperture to avoid bridging — standard LGA layout guidelines from Microchip's application notes apply.

Microchip Technology is the sole manufacturer. No pin-compatible second source or direct equivalent is documented in the DSC60XXB series — the order code is the exact fit for the BOM line.

Frequently asked questions

Is DSC6001HI2B-003.5900 automotive qualified?

Yes, it carries AEC-Q100 rating, meaning it has passed automotive IC qualification including temperature cycling, ESD, and latch-up tests. The -40°C to 85°C temperature range and MEMS resonator make it suitable for under-hood and cabin electronics.

How does a MEMS oscillator compare to a quartz crystal for DSC6001HI2B-003.5900?

The MEMS resonator in this oscillator offers better shock and vibration tolerance than a quartz crystal, which is critical in automotive and industrial environments. It also provides faster startup and wider frequency stability over temperature without external load capacitors. The trade-off is that MEMS oscillators are typically single-source from the manufacturer, whereas quartz crystals have multiple second-source options.
