Package, programming, and rework considerations
The DSC6102JI1A-000.0000: The blank-programmable type means you must program the output frequency before assembly — it ships unprogrammed, so coordinate with your programming partner or in-house programmer before the pick-and-place run. For rework, the 4-pin SMD footprint is straightforward under hot air — no thermal pad underneath, so the part lifts cleanly at 260°C peak reflow. Pin 1 is marked by a chamfer on the package corner; confirm orientation against the PCB silkscreen dot before placement.
Obsolete status and sourcing path
Microchip lists the DSC6102JI1A-000.0000 as Obsolete. No official successor order code is recorded in the lifecycle data. No pin-compatible drop-in replacement is documented from Microchip, so a BOM revision may be required for new production. For existing designs that already use this oscillator, sourcing through independent distribution is the practical path. The MEMS-based construction means date-code sensitivity is lower than quartz — no aging drift to reconcile across lots. Confirm the programmed frequency matches your BOM at the time of order.
