Product details

Why choose a MEMS XO over a quartz crystal for this 4.096 MHz slot

For an ECU or sensor module that sees 105°C under-hood and 20 g vibration on the engine block, a quartz crystal can fracture or drift; the MEMS resonator keeps the 4.096 MHz output locked to ±20 ppm across the full -40°C to 105°C range.

That means it is still a valid design-in choice for new automotive or industrial builds, and the supply chain is stable through authorized channels.

Supply voltage flexibility and enable/disable function

The 1.71V to 3.63V supply range covers 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic rails without an external level translator — useful when the same oscillator feeds a 3.3V MCU and a 1.8V CAN transceiver.

Housed in a 4-VLGA package measuring 2.50 mm x 2.00 mm with a seated height of 0.89 mm. Surface-mount reflow follows the JEDEC profile for the package; no moisture sensitivity level concern for standard MSL handling.

Frequently asked questions

Is DSC6003JL3B-004.0960 AEC-Q100 qualified and suitable for automotive use?

Yes — the DSC6003JL3B-004.0960 carries AEC-Q100 qualification. Combined with the -40°C to 105°C operating range, it is suitable for under-hood, cabin, and chassis-domain electronics that require automotive-grade reliability.

Can DSC6003JL3B-004.0960 replace a 4.096 MHz quartz crystal oscillator?

Yes — it is a drop-in replacement for a 4-pin 2.5 mm x 2.0 mm XO with CMOS output. The MEMS resonator eliminates the quartz crystal's shock sensitivity and the ±20 ppm stability is tighter than many quartz XOs in the same footprint. No external load capacitors needed.
