Product details

The DSC1001DL2-008.0000: This is a MEMS-based oscillator (XO), not a quartz crystal — the resonator is silicon, not a quartz blank, which gives better shock and vibration immunity versus a quartz oscillator in the same 4-SMD no-lead footprint. The 8 MHz CMOS output runs from a single 1.8V to 3.3V supply, so it can clock a 3.3V MCU or a 1.8V FPGA without a level translator on the clock line.

AEC-Q100 and the 105°C ceiling

Rated AEC-Q100, this oscillator is qualified for automotive temperature Grade 1: -40°C to +105°C ambient — the under-hood band where a quartz oscillator's aging or start-up behaviour can drift outside spec.

Active supply current is 6.3 mA max at 8 MHz, typical for a MEMS oscillator at this frequency and well within the budget of a low-power MCU rail.

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 standard 2.0 x 2.5 mm MEMS oscillator footprint that matches many quartz XO pads, so a board spin is not required when switching from quartz.

Frequently asked questions

Is DSC1001DL2-008.0000 AEC-Q100 qualified?

Yes, it carries an AEC-Q100 rating, which qualifies it for automotive applications per the temperature grade and reliability stress requirements of that standard.

Can DSC1001DL2-008.0000 replace a quartz oscillator?

Yes — the MEMS resonator is pin-compatible with many 2.5 x 2.0 mm quartz XOs in the same 4-SMD no-lead package. The CMOS output and 1.8V–3.3V supply range match typical quartz oscillator specs, so a direct replacement is feasible without board changes. The ±25 ppm stability and -40 to 105°C range cover the same timing budget as a quartz part of similar grade.

What is the standby function on DSC1001?

The standby (power-down) function disables the output and reduces supply current to 15 µA max, versus 6.3 mA max active. It is controlled via a dedicated pin — pulling it low puts the oscillator into low-power shutdown.
