Why an AEC-Q100 XO matters for the BOM
The DSC1001CI5-024.3050 carries an AEC-Q100 rating, which means it meets the automotive-grade qualification for stress reliability, temperature cycling, and ESD immunity — not just a datasheet claim of 'automotive capable'. For a product line like the Microchip DSC1001 series, this is the hard stop that separates a part you can put in an ECU from an industrial-grade oscillator that will fail the OEM auditor's PPAP review.
Frequency, stability, and supply voltage — the fit check
At 24.305 MHz with ±10 ppm frequency stability, this oscillator delivers the tight timing needed for CAN-FD or FlexRay clock trees where jitter budget is tight.
Temperature grade and package — where it physically sits
The 4-SMD, no-lead package measures 3.20 mm × 2.50 mm with a 0.90 mm seated height, fitting into compact PCB layouts typical of automotive control modules.
