September 26, 2008 Mouser Electronics Inc. has signed a global distribution agreement with SiTime, a supplier of MEMS-based silicon resonators, oscillators, and complete timing solutions.

“Mouser’s large, worldwide customer base can now utilize SiTime’s high-performance, programmable timing solutions to significantly improve the size, robustness, and reliability of their products while eliminating multiple suppliers,” said Peter Himes, SiTime’s VP of sales. “Mouser is a leader in catalog and online distribution and will enhance the market coverage of SiTime’s products.”

SiTime’s programmable oscillators utilize a proprietary MEMS resonator design in conjunction with a drive circuit and high-performance frequency synthesizer to generate a clock output. The high performance programmable oscillators offer very low jitter and a wide range of programmable frequencies as high as 125 MHz, enabling them to be used in a variety of applications.
