Lifecycle status and sourcing reality
The DSC6101MI2A-064.0000 is listed as Obsolete by Microchip Technology. This means the manufacturer has discontinued production and no further factory orders are accepted. For existing BOM lines that require this exact order code, supply is available through independent distribution channels.
Key parametric fit for the BOM
This stability class is typical for general-purpose clocking in microcontroller and interface applications where tight ppm is not required but temperature drift must be bounded.
Automotive qualification and package
Rated AEC-Q100, this oscillator meets the automotive IC qualification standard for temperature grade, reliability stress, and PPAP. The small footprint suits space-constrained PCB layouts in automotive ECUs, telematics, or portable instrumentation. Typical supply current is 3 mA at 64 MHz — low enough for battery-powered or thermally constrained designs. The CMOS output swings rail-to-rail, compatible with most MCU and SoC clock inputs without external level translation.
