AEC-Q100 qualification places this oscillator in the automotive-grade bin — suitable for engine control, ADAS, and infotainment clock trees where quartz-based parts may fail under shock or cold-crank voltage dips.
Supply range, standby, and package fit
Operates from 1.7 V to 3.6 V — a single rail covers 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic families without an external LDO, simplifying the power tree. Housed in a 4-VDFN package measuring 3.20 mm x 2.50 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — the 0.50 mm pitch lands on a standard 4-layer board without via-in-pad; the small footprint frees space near the SoC or PHY.
The DSC1001 series remains Microchip's mainstream MEMS oscillator family, so supply continuity for existing designs is stable.
