The DSC1001DC1-072.0000T carries AEC-Q100 qualification — it is not just 'automotive-capable', it is formally qualified to the AEC-Q100 stress and reliability standard. Capable is not qualified — this part is. The AEC-Q100 grade is listed on the datasheet, so a buyer can submit it directly without a waiver request.
72 MHz CMOS output and supply flexibility
The oscillator delivers a 72 MHz CMOS output — a common clock frequency for MCUs, FPGAs, and Ethernet controllers. CMOS output means the signal swings rail-to-rail between 0 V and the supply voltage, so it directly drives the clock input of a 3.3 V or 1.8 V logic device without a level translator. For a 72 MHz clock, that is a worst-case deviation of ±3.6 kHz — well within the tolerance of a typical MCU PLL.
