AEC-Q100 and the automotive deployment angle
The DSC6101CI2A-100.0000T: Carrying AEC-Q100 qualification, this oscillator is stress-tested for automotive-grade reliability — temperature cycling, ESD, and latch-up screening that a standard commercial XO skips.
For existing boards that carry this part number, the supply route is through independent distribution surplus channels. No official pin-compatible successor is recorded from Microchip, so a board spin or a parametric search for a current MEMS XO with the same footprint and output type is the migration path.
