MEMS oscillator with automotive qualification
The DSC8001BI2: For an ECU or sensor module under the hood, the AEC-Q100 mark is the gate for PPAP submission.
The standby function disables the output while keeping the oscillator biased — the recovery time to a valid clock is on the order of microseconds, not milliseconds as with a crystal startup. For a CAN transceiver or microcontroller that needs to resume fast from sleep, this avoids the crystal wake-up delay.
Package and board-level integration
Surface-mount reflow profile is the same as for other 4-pin SMD passives.
Blank-programmable frequency flexibility
The DSC8001BI2 ships as a blank (unprogrammed) device — the user programs the target frequency via Microchip's programming tools. This means a single order code can cover multiple frequency variants on the BOM, reducing line-item count and inventory risk. The available range from 1 MHz to 150 MHz covers common microcontroller, CAN, and Ethernet clock rates.
Active production and sourcing posture
The DSC8001BI2 is listed as Active. No end-of-life notice or successor is recorded.
