Product details

Automotive-grade MEMS oscillator for ECU clocking

The DSC1121AI2-003.6864T is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) from Microchip, delivering a 3.6864 MHz CMOS output with ±25 ppm frequency stability over -40°C to +85°C. Rated AEC-Q100, it carries the qualification documentation — PPAP, temperature grade, and reliability stress — that an OEM auditor expects for under-hood or cabin-domain electronics.

Operating from 2.25V to 3.6V, the oscillator covers 2.5V and 3.3V logic rails without an external level translator — the CMOS output swings to the supply rail, so a 2.5V supply produces a 2.5V-compatible clock. The 3.6864 MHz frequency is a common base for UART baud-rate generation (e.g., 115200 baud) and MCU core clocking in automotive body controllers and gateway modules.

Housed in a 6-SMD, No Lead Exposed Pad package measuring 7.00 mm x 5.00 mm x 0.90 mm, the footprint matches industry-standard 7x5 mm oscillator land patterns.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC1121AI2-003.6864T AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use?

Yes, it carries an AEC-Q100 rating. This means it has passed the automotive-grade qualification tests — temperature cycling, ESD, latch-up, and extended reliability — and is supported with PPAP documentation. It is not a commercial-grade part dressed up for the automotive bill of materials.

Can the DSC1121AI2-003.6864T replace a quartz crystal oscillator?

Yes, it is a direct drop-in replacement for a standard 3.6864 MHz quartz XO in the same 7x5 mm footprint. The MEMS resonator eliminates quartz crystal aging and start-up reliability issues, and the CMOS output is compatible with the same termination. No board re-spin is needed if the supply voltage and enable logic match.
