Dual-output MEMS oscillator — what it clocks and where it fits
The DSC6023MI2A-00A4T: A single oscillator providing two common frequencies means one BOM line replaces what would otherwise require two separate quartz cans, saving board area and reducing pick-and-place cost.
Supply flexibility and power budget for the BOM engineer
Typical current draw is 1.3 mA max for both outputs active, which keeps the thermal contribution negligible in the 2.00 mm × 1.60 mm VFLGA footprint. The ±25 ppm frequency stability covers the common accuracy requirement for Ethernet PHY reference clocks, USB hubs, and general-purpose MCU timing.
Lifecycle reality — obsolete part, what that means for procurement
No official successor order code is recorded for this part — a pin-compatible direct replacement from Microchip's DSC60XX family is not documented in the available lifecycle data. Sourcing for this obsolete oscillator runs through independent distribution channels, where stock is lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. The laser etch and date-code consistency on any offered lot should be verified against Microchip's marking standards before committing to a production quantity.
Package and board-fit — what the 4-VFLGA footprint demands
No exposed thermal pad is present on this package; the four corner pads are the only electrical and mechanical attachment points. The board layout must route the CMOS output traces with controlled impedance if the clock lines exceed a few centimetres.
