Obsolete – sourcing reality for DSC6001MI1A-016.0000T
Microchip lists this part as Obsolete.
The AEC-Q100 rating means it passed automotive reliability stress — suitable for under-hood or chassis-domain timing where vibration and temperature cycling would fatigue a quartz crystal over time. Runs from a 1.71V to 3.63V supply rail, so it can sit on a 1.8V or 3.3V domain without an extra regulator. Enable/Disable function lets firmware gate the clock output for low-power sleep states.
Temperature range and stability for industrial environments
The MEMS resonator's mechanical Q is higher than quartz, so the frequency shift across temperature is more predictable — no cold-start frequency overshoot typical of AT-cut crystals. The 4-SMD No Lead package measures 2.00mm x 1.60mm — a standard footprint for MEMS oscillators.
