The DSC6101JL3B-050.0000: A part that is merely 'automotive-capable' without the AEC-Q stamp cannot satisfy an OEM PPAP audit; this one carries the rating.
Supply flexibility and power budget for mixed-voltage domains
Typical current draw is 3 mA max — negligible in a power budget where a 50 MHz clock tree might otherwise consume tens of milliamps through a crystal oscillator plus PLL.
Active lifecycle and sourcing posture
Microchip lists the DSC6101JL3B-050.0000 as Active. For design-in, the AEC-Q100 qualification and wide temperature range make it suitable for new automotive programs that require PPAP-ready documentation.
