The DSC6001ME2A-012.0000 is a 12 MHz MEMS-based oscillator from Microchip's DSC60XX series, delivering a CMOS output in a compact 2.00 mm × 1.60 mm 4-SMD package. It runs from a 1.71 V to 3.63 V supply and draws a typical 1.3 mA, making it suitable for low-power automotive modules.
If you are designing a new board, consider a current-production MEMS oscillator from the same DSC60XX family with matching footprint and supply voltage — confirm the frequency stability and temperature range match your timing budget.
Frequency stability and temperature range
For a 12 MHz clock, this translates to a maximum drift of ±300 Hz — tight enough for most MCU and CAN bus timing, but not for precision RF or high-speed serial links that require ±10 ppm or better.
