What AEC-Q100 qualification means for this MEMS oscillator
The DSC6003JI2B-025.0000: This is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) oscillator, part of the DSC60XXB series from Microchip, delivering a 25 MHz CMOS output from a 4-VLGA package measuring 2.50mm x 2.00mm. AEC-Q100 qualification means this part was stress-tested and documented per the automotive IC reliability standard — the OEM auditor will expect PPAP documentation, not a datasheet claim of 'automotive-capable'. This part carries the grade; it is not an industrial part dressed up. For under-hood engine-bay deployment requiring -40°C to +125°C, confirm the grade-0 equivalent in the family.
Supply voltage and logic-level fit
Supply voltage range is 1.71V to 3.63V, meaning this oscillator can run directly off a 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V rail without an intermediate LDO.
