Why the dual-frequency output matters for BOM consolidation
The DSC6021CI2A-00EPT: A single oscillator that provides both 25 MHz and 32 MHz eliminates a separate crystal or oscillator for the second clock tree — useful in designs where a 25 MHz reference feeds the Ethernet PHY and a 32 MHz clock drives the MCU core or USB peripheral.
Lifecycle status: obsolete — sourcing through independent channels
Microchip lists the DSC6021CI2A-00EPT as obsolete. The 4-VDFN package and CMOS output mean a functional replacement would need to match the same footprint and output logic level.
