Product details

20 MHz MEMS XO with AEC-Q100 qualification

AEC-Q100 qualification makes this part suitable for automotive electronics — the MEMS die handles shock and vibration better than a quartz crystal, which matters for engine-bay and chassis-mounted modules. Supply voltage spans 1.7V to 3.6V, covering 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic rails without a separate regulator — simplifies the power tree in mixed-voltage designs.

Standby function cuts draw to 15 µA

A Standby (Power Down) pin drops supply current from 6 mA max to 15 µA max — useful for battery-backed ECUs or telematics units that sleep between wake events. The 4-SMD no-lead package measures 2.50mm x 2.00mm with a seated height of 0.90mm — fits tight layouts in automotive camera modules or sensor nodes.

New designs can commit to this part without a near-term migration plan. Sourced through independent distribution — quoted to order against the BOM quantity.

Frequently asked questions

Is DSC1003DL5-020.0000 AEC-Q100 qualified?

Yes — the DSC1003DL5-020.0000 carries AEC-Q100 rating, making it qualified for automotive-grade applications including under-hood and cabin electronics.

How does DSC1003DL5-020.0000 compare to a traditional quartz oscillator?

The DSC1003 uses a MEMS resonator instead of a quartz crystal. MEMS oscillators typically offer better shock and vibration tolerance, faster startup, and smaller footprint, while quartz may still provide lower phase noise in some narrow-band applications. For most digital clock trees the difference is negligible.

What does the standby function do on DSC1003DL5-020.0000?

The Standby (Power Down) function disables the output and reduces supply current from 6 mA max to 15 µA max, preserving battery life during system sleep.
