Description: 

Due to

...

component shortage from June to August 2021 some Trenz Electronic products were assembled with datasheet compatible DSC6111MI2A-025.0000 instead of SiT8008BI-73-18S-25.000000E. Although there is no evidence for any performance issues from the datasheets at least one batch of DSC6111MI2A-025.0000 has been identified to be root of issues in specific applications.

Issues:

Following two board depended issues have been reported:

1. Ethernet communication with online available standard reference design is unreliably:
   1. Standard ping test in separated environment results in package loss of up to 10% or
   2. unexpected link up/down switches.
2. MGT communication fails, known to work designs showed no link.

Remedy:

If a Trenz Product shows one of the issues described above and  the assembled MEMS oscillator is identified as DSC6111MI2A-025.0000 (see Method of Identification) please contact Trenz Electronic (see Contact Information). Please send the serial number of the affected product and choose one of the possible solutions below:

1. Trenz Electronic opens a RMA and the affected MEMS is replaced at Trenz Electronic.
2. Trenz Electronic sends a SiT8008BI-73-18S-25.000000E for substitution to the customer.
