Product details

Automotive-grade MEMS clock source

Supply flexibility and timing margin

The wide supply range of 2.25V to 3.6V lets this oscillator run directly from a 2.5V or 3.3V rail without an extra LDO — one BOM line covers both voltage domains. Frequency stability is ±25 ppm, tight enough for 100BASE-T1 Ethernet or CAN FD bit timing where accumulated jitter must stay under 1% of the bit period.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC1121AL2-020.0000T AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use?

Yes, it carries AEC-Q100 qualification, which means it has passed the automotive-grade reliability stress tests (temperature cycling, ESD, latch-up) and is suitable for deployment in engine bay, cabin, or chassis-domain electronics.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to the DSC1121AL2-020.0000T in the DSC1121 family?

Within the DSC1121 series, the base product number DSC1121 covers multiple frequency and stability options. The DSC1121AL2-020.0000T is the 20 MHz, ±25 ppm, AEC-Q100 variant. A non-automotive sibling (same package, same pinout) would drop the AEC-Q100 rating — confirm the BOM's temperature and reliability requirement before substituting.

Can the DSC1121AL2-020.0000T run on a 2.5V supply?

Yes, the supply voltage range is 2.25V to 3.6V, so a 2.5V rail is well within spec. The CMOS output swing will track the supply voltage — at 2.5V the output high level is approximately Vdd, which is compatible with 2.5V logic inputs.
