Product details

The DSC1003BE2-012.0000 is an active-production MEMS-based XO from Microchip, rated AEC-Q100 — the automotive-grade qualification that covers -20°C to +70°C ambient operation and the reliability stress tests required for under-hood and cabin electronics. It delivers a 12 MHz CMOS output with ±25 ppm frequency stability, running from a 1.7V to 3.6V supply rail — the wide voltage range lets it share a rail with 1.8V or 3.3V logic without an extra regulator.

Standby power-down — 15 µA disable current for battery-backed designs

For a telematics module or sensor node that clocks most of its life in sleep, that 15 µA leakage is below the self-discharge of a small coin cell — the oscillator does not drain the backup battery.

4-SMD no-lead package — surface-mount layout fit

Housed in a 4-SMD, no-lead package measuring 5.00 mm x 3.20 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm, it fits standard 5x3.2 mm XO footprints — a drop-in replacement for quartz oscillators in that form factor.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC1003BE2-012.0000 AEC-Q100 qualified?

Yes — the ratings field lists AEC-Q100 qualification, meaning it has passed the automotive-grade temperature cycling, ESD, and reliability stress tests. It is suitable for engine-bay and cabin electronics within its -20°C to +70°C operating range.

What is the standby power-down function on the DSC1003BE2-012.0000?

The standby (power-down) function disables the output and reduces supply current to 15 µA max from 6 mA max active. It lets the system gate the clock to save power in sleep or idle modes without removing the supply rail.

Can the DSC1003BE2-012.0000 replace a quartz crystal oscillator?

Yes — as a MEMS-based XO, it is a direct functional replacement for a quartz oscillator in the same 4-SMD no-lead footprint and supply voltage range. The MEMS resonator is inherently more shock- and vibration-tolerant than quartz, which is relevant for automotive and industrial environments.
