AEC-Q100 and the automotive clock tree
AEC-Q100 qualification means the DSC6101CI2A-100.0000 passed the stress tests for automotive-grade ICs: temperature cycling, ESD, latch-up, and high-temperature operating life.
Obsolete — sourcing and lifecycle reality
The last-time-buy window has closed; the only supply channel is independent surplus inventory, where date-code provenance and lot traceability must be verified before the part enters a production BOM. For a current-production alternative in the same 3.2x2.5 mm MEMS oscillator family, the DSC61XX series includes active variants at 100 MHz with the same ±25 ppm stability and AEC-Q100 rating — the exact order code depends on the supply voltage range and enable logic. Confirm the BOM position's voltage and enable requirements before substituting.
