Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package variant against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the selected part matches the required frequency configuration and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint and reflow soldering profile. Check for any recent product change notifications that may affect specifications or availability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual independent clock outputs are required in a single package. Consider the 20 ppm stability for applications sensitive to timing jitter. Evaluate the 1.71 V minimum supply voltage for compatibility with low-power logic families. Compare the VFLGA-6 package dimensions against available board space constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to Microchip's DSC612 series of MEMS clock generators. These devices replace traditional quartz crystals by offering superior shock resistance and lower power consumption. The series is widely used in modern electronics where size and reliability are critical design parameters.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other variants within the DSC612 family such as DSC612RI3A-01P3, provided pinout and electrical specifications match. Verify that substitute parts meet the same AEC-Q100 automotive qualification requirements.
