Procurement Notes

Verify part authenticity through authorized Microchip distributors or direct factory channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official documentation before procurement. Check for end-of-life notifications as discontinuance may affect long-term availability. Ensure storage conditions meet humidity sensitivity requirements specified in the datasheet to maintain component integrity prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual independent clock outputs are required from a single package. Consider the ±20ppm stability requirement against application tolerance needs. Evaluate the 1.6x1.2mm footprint constraints against PCB layout limitations. Verify that the LVCMOS output swing matches the receiving input thresholds of connected logic circuits without additional level shifting.

Part Context

This device belongs to the DSC612 series of low-power MEMS clock generators. It complements other Microchip timing solutions by offering integrated dual-output functionality in a minimal form factor. The series targets applications replacing discrete crystal oscillator combinations with a single reliable component, simplifying bill of materials and reducing board space requirements.
