The Microchip DSC6102ML2B-008.0000T is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) generating a fixed 8 MHz clock with CMOS output. AEC-Q100 qualification validates this oscillator for automotive-grade reliability: temperature cycling, ESD, and extended life tests per the automotive IC standard.
Supply flexibility and low power draw
Typical supply current is 3 mA — low enough for battery-powered edge nodes; the MEMS oscillator draws less than a comparable quartz oscillator at 8 MHz. This saves a GPIO or a dedicated enable signal on the processor.
Compact footprint for space-constrained layouts
This is the smallest standard oscillator footprint — it fits low-profile designs where a 3.2 mm x 2.5 mm quartz oscillator would not clear a card-edge or mezzanine gap. Surface-mount assembly with Tape & Reel packaging supports automated pick-and-place. The fine-pitch LGA pads require a solder-paste stencil with appropriate aperture design to avoid bridging.
