The DSC1001AI1-080.0000: AEC-Q100 qualification means this part is tested for automotive-grade reliability — thermal cycling, vibration, and extended life stress — making it suitable for under-hood ECUs, ADAS sensor modules, and chassis-domain controllers where a standard commercial oscillator would risk drift or failure.
Standby power-down and supply voltage flexibility
The standby (power down) function drops the supply current to 15 µA max, compared to 8.7 mA max during active operation — a reduction that preserves battery life in telematics trackers, keyless entry modules, or sensor nodes that spend most of their time asleep. The supply voltage range spans 1.8V to 3.3V, covering the common digital rails without needing an external LDO — one less part on the BOM for mixed-voltage designs.
Housed in a 4-SMD, No Lead Exposed Pad package measuring 7.00mm x 5.00mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm, the footprint is a standard 7x5 mm oscillator land pattern — no special via-in-pad or thermal relief needed for the exposed pad, though a solid ground-plane connection under the pad improves thermal and EMI performance. Surface-mount on standard FR-4; the 0.90 mm profile fits within most enclosure height budgets for automotive or industrial control boards.
