AEC-Q100 rated MEMS oscillator for automotive clocking
The DSC1001AL2-025.0000 is a 25 MHz MEMS-based XO (Standard) from Microchip's DSC1001 series, qualified to AEC-Q100 — meaning it has passed the automotive-grade stress tests for temperature, humidity, and vibration that standard oscillators skip.
Standby mode and power budget for always-on modules
For a battery-backed automotive module that spends most of its life asleep, this avoids wasting the 6.5 mA max supply current on a clock that nobody is listening to.
