Why this MEMS XO for automotive clocking
The DSC6003ME1B-013.1072 is a MEMS-based XO (standard) that delivers a fixed 13.1072 MHz CMOS output with ±50 ppm frequency stability across -20°C to +70°C. The supply voltage range of 1.71V to 3.63V lets it run directly from a 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V rail without an extra LDO, saving a component and a PCB trace.
Housed in a 4-VFLGA package measuring 2.00 mm x 1.60 mm x 0.89 mm, this oscillator is a surface-mount device that fits the same footprint as many standard 2.0 x 1.6 mm XOs. The 0.50 mm pitch LGA pads require a solder-paste stencil with good aperture alignment — the small pad area means the solder joint strength depends on the pad design and reflow profile, not the component itself.
