Product details

MEMS oscillator with automotive-grade qualification

The DSC1001BI1-016.0000T is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) oscillator from Microchip Technology, delivering a 16 MHz CMOS output with ±50 ppm frequency stability across the full operating range. AEC-Q100 qualification means this part is validated for automotive reliability stress and temperature cycling — it fits under-hood and cabin electronics where a standard quartz oscillator would risk drift or failure.

Standby function and supply flexibility

A dedicated Standby (Power Down) function drops the supply current to 15 µA max when the enable pin is pulled low — useful for battery-powered modules that wake on an external trigger. The wide 1.8V to 3.3V supply range lets the oscillator run from a 1.8V core rail or a 3.3V I/O rail without a separate regulator, simplifying the power tree. Active current draw is 6.3 mA max at full speed — the MEMS resonator consumes less power than a comparable quartz oscillator at the same frequency, which matters in thermally constrained enclosures.

Package, footprint, and reflow fit

Housed in a 4-SMD, No Lead package measuring 5.00 mm x 3.20 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm max — standard footprint that places cleanly on a two-layer board without via-in-pad. Supplied on Tape & Reel (TR) for automated pick-and-place; the no-lead construction eliminates coplanarity concerns that can tombstone a gull-wing oscillator.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC1001BI1-016.0000T AEC-Q100 qualified?

Yes, the DSC1001BI1-016.0000T carries AEC-Q100 qualification, meaning it has passed automotive-grade reliability stress tests including temperature cycling, ESD, and latch-up. It is suitable for under-hood and cabin applications.

What does the Standby (Power Down) function do on the DSC1001BI1?

The Standby function disables the oscillator output and reduces the supply current to 15 µA max. Pulling the enable pin low puts the part into power-down mode; pulling it high resumes normal operation with 16 MHz CMOS output.

Can the DSC1001BI1-016.0000T replace a quartz crystal oscillator?

Yes, it is a drop-in replacement for a standard 16 MHz quartz oscillator in the same 4-SMD footprint, with the advantage of AEC-Q100 qualification and a wider supply voltage range. The MEMS resonator is more shock- and vibration-tolerant than quartz.
