Active production, automotive-grade timing
The DSC8001AL5: Rated AEC-Q100, it operates from -40°C to 105°C, suiting it for under-hood or engine-bay electronics where a quartz oscillator's shock and vibration limits become a reliability concern.
Supply flexibility and power-down budget
Draws 12.2 mA max when active; the standby function drops that to 15 µA with the output tri-stated, letting a body controller or ADAS module cut clock power between ignition cycles.
MEMS resonator and blank-programmable workflow
Shipped as a blank device (user-programmable), it requires a one-time frequency configuration via Microchip's programming tool before reflow — factor this into the assembly workflow if the line expects a pre-programmed oscillator.
Surface-mount only; the no-lead construction keeps the parasitic inductance below 2 nH per pad, which matters for edge rates under 2 ns at the upper end of the 150 MHz range.
