It belongs to Microchip's DSC60XX series, which replaces the quartz resonator with a silicon MEMS structure for improved shock and vibration tolerance.
Supply range and stability for multi-rail designs
With a supply voltage range of 1.71V to 3.63V, this oscillator can be powered from a 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V rail without an intermediate LDO. The ±25 ppm frequency stability covers the timing jitter budget for CAN, LIN, and most 10/100 Ethernet PHY reference clocks. Typical supply current is 1.3 mA, which keeps the thermal contribution low in the compact 2.50mm x 2.00mm 4-VLGA package.
AEC-Q100 — the automotive qualification gate
This part carries AEC-Q100 qualification, meaning it has passed the stress tests and temperature cycling required for automotive-grade components. The OEM auditor will ask for PPAP documentation — this part supports that submission.
