Its AEC-Q100 qualification means this part meets automotive-grade reliability testing — not just a 'capable' industrial part dressed up for the engine bay. The 1.71V–3.63V supply range lets it run off a 1.8V or 3.3V rail without a separate regulator, simplifying the power tree.
Temperature range and frequency stability for harsh environments
The ±50ppm frequency stability holds the clock within 400 Hz at 8 MHz across temperature and voltage, which is tight enough for a CAN bus or a basic MCU crystal input without needing an external trim.
Package and supply current for space-constrained boards
Housed in a 4-VLGA package measuring 2.50mm x 2.00mm, the DSC6003JL1B-008.0000T fits into compact layouts where a quartz crystal plus load capacitors would take up twice the area.
Active lifecycle and automotive compliance
Product status is Active — Microchip continues to manufacture this part, and it is suitable for new designs. The AEC-Q100 rating means the oscillator underwent the full suite of automotive stress tests. Surface-mount assembly on a 4-VLGA footprint — standard reflow profiles apply.
