MEMS oscillator for 32.768 kHz timing — AEC-Q100 qualified
The Microchip Technology DSC6101JL2B-032K768 is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) generating a 32.768 kHz CMOS output — the exact frequency used for real-time clock references and low-speed timing in automotive ECUs, telematics, and body-control modules. MEMS resonators also resist vibration and shock better than quartz — a known failure mode on engine-mounted PCBs.
Supply flexibility and low power draw
Maximum current draw is 3 mA typical — negligible in a 1 A automotive load budget, but the low power also reduces self-heating in the 4-VLGA package, keeping the frequency stability within its ±25 ppm window across temperature.
Package and board-fit for space-constrained designs
Surface-mount assembly on standard FR-4 or flex substrates — no special handling beyond standard SMT reflow. The tube packaging is fine for prototype builds; for production volumes, the part is also available on tape-and-reel under the same order code — confirm the reel quantity with your distributor at RFQ.
