What the AEC-Q100 grade means for your BOM
The DSC6001CI1A-000.0000: Rated per AEC-Q100, this MEMS oscillator is qualified for automotive temperature from -40°C to +85°C — the grade that covers cabin and chassis domains where the OEM auditor expects PPAP documentation on every clock source. Supply voltage spans 1.71V to 3.63V, so it runs from a 1.8V or 3.3V rail without a separate LDO — one less part to qualify for the same AEC-Q100 stress test.
Obsolete status — sourcing path
The part ships as a blank (unprogrammed) unit — you must set the output frequency between 1 MHz and 80 MHz using Microchip's programming tools before it will oscillate.
