Since it is automotive you can use the battery you already have. The car=20
battery. The current consumption in off state should be way less than the s=

discharge rate of the battery.

Also, the temperature swing could be very large in an automotive applicatio=

you have to take this into account when it comes to oscillator accuracy and=

drift.

What is the clock going to be used for?
