What this MEMS oscillator delivers for an automotive clock tree
Temperature range and AEC-Q100 qualification — what the grade means
AEC-Q100 Grade 1 is the target grade for this temperature range — the OEM auditor will ask for the PPAP package, and this part carries it. 'Capable is not qualified' is the rule in automotive; this oscillator is qualified.
Active supply current is 7.2 mA max at 27 MHz — well below the 10–15 mA typical of a quartz oscillator at the same frequency, which helps the thermal budget in a sealed ECU housing.
The 4-SMD, No Lead package measures 3.20 mm x 2.50 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — this 3.2 x 2.5 mm footprint is JEDEC-standard for MEMS oscillators and matches the industry-standard quartz oscillator pinout, so it drops onto the same PCB land pattern as a quartz XO.
