What the AEC-Q100 grade means for your BOM
The DSC6013JI2A-000.0000T carries AEC-Q100 qualification — this is the automotive IC stress test standard covering temperature cycling, ESD, latch-up, and lifetime reliability. For an ECU or sensor module that must pass PPAP submission to an OEM, a part without this named grade is a hard stop at the auditor's desk. Confirm your ambient profile fits within this industrial-automotive boundary before committing the BOM line.
MEMS resonator and supply flexibility
The CMOS output swings rail-to-rail into the downstream clock input, so no level translation is needed between the oscillator and the MCU or FPGA bank.
Power budget and standby discipline
When the system sleeps, the Standby function (pin-controlled) drops consumption to 12 µA maximum, preserving the coin-cell or backup capacitor charge. For a 500 kbps CAN bus or a 100BASE-T1 Ethernet PHY, ±25 ppm meets the jitter budget without external termination resistors.
Lifecycle reality: obsolete, not active
If your design requires a guaranteed supply for the next 5+ years, the DSC60XX family includes active variants with the same MEMS core and pinout; a parametric cross-check against your frequency and stability needs is the next step.
