12.288 MHz MEMS oscillator — obsolete, last-time-buy window closed
The DSC6101HE2A-012.2880T: This part carries an AEC-Q100 automotive qualification, meaning it was screened for reliability under the temperature and stress conditions typical of automotive electronics — but that qualification does not extend to new designs given the obsolete status.
Sourcing reality for an obsolete MEMS XO
With the LTB window closed, this part is available only through independent surplus and broker channels. No pin-compatible direct replacement from Microchip is listed — a board-level redesign using a current-generation MEMS XO or quartz oscillator is the migration path for new production. The AEC-Q100 marking and MEMS construction mean counterfeit risk is lower than for generic passives, but lot-level documentation should still be requested.
