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.
