Product details

12 MHz MEMS oscillator with AEC-Q100 qualification

Its AEC-Q100 rating qualifies it for automotive applications where reliability under temperature cycling and vibration is required — the MEMS resonator is inherently more shock-tolerant than a quartz crystal.

Supply flexibility and standby power savings

The device operates from a 1.8V to 3.3V supply rail, covering the common digital core and I/O voltages without a separate regulator. Maximum supply current is 6.3 mA during active oscillation. A dedicated Standby (Power Down) function drops the supply current to 15 µA max, allowing the system to gate the clock during idle states without removing the supply rail.

Package and footprint for automated assembly

Housed in a 4-SMD, no-lead package measuring 2.50 mm × 2.00 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm, this oscillator is suited for high-density PCB layouts where board space is constrained.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC1001DC5-012.0000T suitable for automotive environments?

Yes. The DSC1001DC5-012.0000T carries an AEC-Q100 rating, which means it has passed the automotive-grade reliability stress tests (temperature cycling, ESD, latch-up) required for under-hood and cabin electronics. The MEMS resonator also offers better shock and vibration immunity than a quartz crystal.

Does the DSC1001DC5-012.0000T have a standby function?

Yes. It includes a Standby (Power Down) function that reduces the maximum supply current to 15 µA when the output is disabled, while the active oscillation draws up to 6.3 mA.
