The DSC6101CI2A-027.0000: Its AEC-Q100 qualification targets automotive electronic modules — think engine-control units, ADAS sensor fusion boards, or infotainment head units where the clock must survive under-hood temperature swings and vibration without the quartz crystal's shock sensitivity.
Supply flexibility and power-down margin
Typical active supply current is 3 mA — low enough that the oscillator's draw does not dominate the power budget of a 12 V automotive ECU even with multiple clocks on the board.
Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels
Microchip has designated the DSC6101CI2A-027.0000 as Obsolete. Sourced through independent distribution — quantities and lot dates are confirmed at RFQ. The MEMS resonator construction is inherently more shock-tolerant than quartz, but verify the date code and storage conditions for any long-shelf-life stock.
