The DSC6112CE2A-000.0000: It carries an AEC-Q100 qualification — this is the automotive IC stress qualification covering temperature range, reliability, and PPAP documentation. That rating makes it suitable for under-hood or chassis-mounted electronics where a standard commercial oscillator would not be accepted. The device is supplied as a blank programmable unit (User Must Program) covering a 1 MHz to 100 MHz frequency range. It is not a fixed-frequency part — the end user or a programming house must set the output frequency before the oscillator is usable in the circuit.
Supply range, power draw, and temperature envelope
Typical active current is 3 mA max, and the standby disable function drops consumption to 12 µA — useful for battery-backed or sleep-mode applications. Combined with the AEC-Q100 rating, the part is thermally qualified beyond what the operating range alone suggests — the qualification stress tests go well past 70°C. This is a standard stability figure for a MEMS oscillator — adequate for most digital clocking, serial communication, and MCU timing needs.
Supplied in Tube packaging. The surface-mount package is suitable for reflow soldering; the MEMS die inside is encapsulated and does not require a hermetic seal like a quartz crystal can.
