What AEC-Q100 grade does this oscillator carry?
The DSC1001DL5-026.0000 is rated AEC-Q100 — that is an automotive-grade IC qualification, not just an industrial part dressed up as automotive-capable. The OEM auditor will ask for PPAP documentation, and this part supports it. A part qualified to this grade and temperature range can be placed in a production BOM without a separate qualification waiver.
Supply voltage flexibility and CMOS output
The oscillator accepts a supply from 1.8V to 3.3V — that means it can run directly from a 1.8V core rail, a 2.5V I/O rail, or a 3.3V peripheral bus without a separate level translator. The CMOS output swings rail-to-rail and drives standard digital logic inputs directly. At 26 MHz with ±10ppm frequency stability, this part provides a clean clock for CAN, LIN, or Ethernet PHY reference without external pull-up resistors or AC-coupling caps.
MEMS resonator — better than quartz for harsh environments
MEMS oscillators offer inherently better shock and vibration tolerance — relevant for automotive, industrial, and downhole applications where quartz crystals can fail under sustained vibration or mechanical shock. The package is a 4-SMD, no-lead measuring 2.50mm x 2.00mm with a seated height of 0.90mm max. That is a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained PCBs in ADAS cameras, sensor modules, or telematics units.
Microchip Technology is the brand; the base product number is DSC1001.
