Product details

The DSC6003CE1A-012.2880 is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) oscillator from Microchip's DSC60XX series, delivering a 12.288 MHz CMOS output — a common frequency for audio codecs, serial data clocks, and CAN transceiver timing.

Wide supply range and low current draw

Operating from 1.71 V to 3.63 V, the oscillator runs directly off a 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V rail without an external LDO — simplifies the power tree.

Frequently asked questions

What is a replacement for the DSC6003CE1A-012.2880?

No official successor is listed by Microchip for this specific order code. For a pin-compatible alternative within the DSC60XX family, check the current DSC6000-series active parts with the same 4-VDFN footprint and 12.288 MHz frequency. AEC-Q100 qualification is available on select active variants.

Is the DSC6003CE1A-012.2880 AEC-Q100 rated?

Yes, the ratings field lists AEC-Q100 qualification, meaning it passed automotive-grade reliability testing for temperature, ESD, and latch-up.

What is the output type of the DSC6003CE1A-012.2880?

CMOS output — a standard logic-level signal that interfaces directly with most MCU clock inputs, FPGAs, and serial transceivers without level translation.
