Product details

12.5 MHz MEMS XO with AEC-Q100 qualification

Its AEC-Q100 rating means this oscillator is qualified for automotive-grade reliability — suited for under-hood or cabin electronics where vibration and thermal cycling exceed what a standard quartz XO can tolerate. The MEMS resonator is inherently more shock- and vibration-resistant than a quartz crystal, which is why the DSC1001 family carries the automotive qualification without the cost of a ceramic-packaged quartz unit.

Standby power-down and supply flexibility

A dedicated Standby (Power Down) function drops the supply current to 15 µA max when the enable pin is pulled low — useful for battery-backed systems that need to preserve charge during sleep. The operating supply range spans 1.8V to 3.3V, covering common digital rails without a separate regulator; the active current draw is 6.3 mA max at full speed.

Surface-mount footprint and sourcing posture

Housed in a 4-SMD, No Lead package measuring 2.50 mm x 2.00 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — a compact footprint that matches standard 2.5 x 2.0 mm XO land patterns.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC1001DL1-012.5000 replaceable by a standard quartz oscillator with the same frequency?

Not directly. A quartz XO with the same 12.5 MHz frequency and CMOS output will fit the electrical spec, but the DSC1001's MEMS resonator gives it better shock/vibration tolerance and the AEC-Q100 qualification — a standard quartz part typically lacks that automotive-grade reliability. If you don't need AEC-Q100, a quartz XO in the same 2.5 x 2.0 mm package is a functional drop-in.
