Product details

AEC-Q100 grade — not just automotive-capable

For under-hood locations requiring Grade 0 (150°C), this part is not the fit — confirm your location's thermal profile before committing the BOM line.

48 MHz fixed frequency with ±10 ppm stability

Output is 48 MHz CMOS, the standard clock for 100BASE-TX Ethernet PHYs, USB 2.0 full-speed, and many ARM Cortex-M MCUs running at 48 MHz core clock. Supply voltage accepts 1.8V to 3.3V, covering 1.8V logic, 2.5V I/O, and 3.3V system rails without a separate LDO for the oscillator.

MEMS resonator vs quartz — the reliability trade

That 15 µA standby current is low enough to leave on a always-on battery line in a key-off automotive module without draining the reserve.

Product status is Active per Microchip's lifecycle designation. Package is 4-SMD, No Lead, 2.50 mm x 2.00 mm footprint, 0.90 mm seated height. This is a common MEMS oscillator footprint — no unusual layout constraints.

Frequently asked questions

Is DSC1001DI5-048.0000 qualified for automotive applications?

Yes — it carries AEC-Q100 rating. This is the formal automotive IC qualification, not a self-declared 'automotive grade'. The qualification covers temperature cycling, ESD, latch-up, and PPAP documentation. Confirm your target temperature grade: -40°C to 85°C (Grade 2) is covered; Grade 0 (150°C) is not.

How does DSC1001DI5-048.0000 compare to a standard quartz crystal oscillator?

The base resonator is MEMS rather than quartz. MEMS oscillators are inherently more resistant to shock and vibration — no crystal blank to fracture. Frequency stability is ±10 ppm, which is tighter than many basic quartz oscillators. Supply range is 1.8V to 3.3V, covering multiple logic families without a regulator.
