AEC-Q100 qualification confirms the part meets automotive stress and reliability benchmarks — under-hood or chassis-domain designs can use it without a separate screening step.
The 1.8V to 3.3V supply range lets a single BOM line serve mixed-voltage boards — a 3.3V microcontroller and a 1.8V FPGA can share the same oscillator P/N, reducing line-item count.
Housed in a 4-SMD no-lead package measuring 2.50mm x 2.00mm with a seated height of 0.90mm, the DSC1001DI1-033.0000 fits tight-height enclosures like portable instrumentation or automotive telematics modules. The 0.50mm pitch land pattern is standard for this form factor; no via-in-pad is required.
Microchip lists this as Active.
