The AEC-Q100 rating qualifies it for under-hood and engine-bay environments where quartz oscillators risk frequency drift from vibration and thermal cycling.
Why MEMS matters for field reliability
The MEMS base resonator eliminates quartz crystal aging and frequency pulling from PCB flexure or solder stress. For a 200 MHz reference clock feeding an FPGA or automotive Ethernet PHY, this means tighter long-term ppm budget and no cold-start frequency overshoot.
Housed in a 6-SMD No Lead package measuring 5.00 mm x 3.20 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm, the DSC1123BL2-200.0000 fits the standard 5×3.2 mm oscillator footprint common in automotive ECU designs.
