What the AEC-Q100 rating means for the BOM
The DSC6111CI1A-016.0000: AEC-Q100 certification means the part passed the automotive IC qualification flow: temperature cycling, ESD sensitivity (HBM/CDM), latch-up, and extended-life reliability tests per the AEC-Q100 rev-H stress profile. This is the baseline for any OEM or tier-1 supplier requiring PPAP-ready components.
Supply current and standby power-down
Maximum supply current is 3 mA (typical) when active — low enough for battery-backed applications. The standby function is a dedicated pin — pulling it low shuts down the output and reduces draw to microamps. The wake-up time from standby is not specified in this listing; for a timing-sensitive power-up sequence, verify the start-up time against the datasheet's typical curve.
Obsolete — sourcing through surplus and broker channels
Available through independent surplus and broker channels. The laser etch and date-code font on any offered lot should be verified against Microchip's known marking format — the MEMS die inside the package is a single silicon die, so a decap X-ray can confirm the die marking matches the DSC61XX family. The frequency, CMOS output, and AEC-Q100 rating are the three non-negotiable parameters to match.
