Standby function and supply budget
The DSC6112CI2A-000.0000T: Active draw is 3 mA typ at the rated frequency, so the standby savings are meaningful in always-on automotive body controllers or telematics units that wake periodically. The part ships as a blank (user-programmable) device in Tape & Reel — the frequency is set at programming, not at the factory. For a BOM that needs a fixed frequency out of the box, order the pre-programmed variant from the DSC61XX family; the blank version suits prototyping or low-volume builds where you program in-house.
Lifecycle status and sourcing path
Microchip lists the DSC6112CI2A-000.0000T as Obsolete. No pin-compatible direct replacement from Microchip has been announced; a board-level qualification of a functionally equivalent MEMS oscillator from the same or another series would be needed for new production.
