The DSC1001DE2-012.0000 is an AEC-Q100 rated XO (Standard) MEMS oscillator from Microchip's DSC1001 series, delivering a 12 MHz CMOS output at ±25 ppm frequency stability across -20°C to +70°C. Input voltage spans 1.8V to 3.3V, covering the common digital rails without a separate regulator, and maximum supply current is 6.5 mA. The standby (power-down) function lets the output be disabled, useful for power-cycled automotive modules that must meet quiescent current targets during sleep.
AEC-Q100 grade and temperature envelope
Rated AEC-Q100, this part is qualified for automotive stress tests — but the -20°C to +70°C operating range limits it to cabin or infotainment domains, not under-hood locations where -40°C to +125°C is required. Capable is not qualified: an AEC-Q100 rating means the manufacturer submitted PPAP documentation and reliability data.
No last-time-buy window or successor is announced.
Housed in a 4-SMD, No Lead package measuring 2.50 mm x 2.00 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — the 4-pin footprint is identical to standard quartz XO footprints, so this MEMS oscillator is a drop-in replacement for many 12 MHz crystal oscillators without PCB layout changes.
