Automotive-grade MEMS oscillator for harsh environments
The DSC1001DL5-024.0000 is a 24 MHz MEMS-based XO (Standard) oscillator from Microchip Technology, qualified to AEC-Q100 — the automotive IC reliability standard. The MEMS resonator replaces a quartz blank, giving the oscillator inherent shock and vibration immunity — a practical advantage for engine control units, transmission controllers, and ADAS sensor modules that see continuous mechanical stress.
Supply voltage flexibility and standby power
Operating from 1.8V to 3.3V, this oscillator can be driven directly from a 1.8V core rail or a 3.3V I/O rail without an intermediate regulator — a single BOM line covers multiple voltage domains in mixed-signal designs. The standby (power-down) function pulls the disable current to 15 µA max, preserving battery life in always-on automotive modules such as keyless entry receivers or telematics control units that spend most of their time in sleep mode.
The 4-SMD no-lead package (2.50 mm x 2.00 mm x 0.90 mm) fits tight PCB layouts common in camera modules and radar sensor boards. Frequency stability is ±10 ppm over the operating range — tight enough for a 24 MHz CAN-FD or FlexRay reference clock without external trimming.
Active production — no end-of-life pressure
There is no announced last-time-buy or end-of-life notice. The part is suitable for both new design-ins and ongoing production runs. Sourced through independent distribution, the oscillator is quoted to order against the BOM quantity.
