December 11, 2008: SiTime Corp., based in Sunnyvale, Calif., has expanded its portfolio of MEMS-based silicon timing devices with the introduction of high-performance, programmable clock generators.
According to the company, SiTime’s MEMS technology offers 10× the robustness and reliability than existing quartz-based solutions, supporting longer-life electronics.
SiTimes said the new SiT9103 and SiT9104 multi-PLL, multi-output, highly programmable timing solutions are the first such devices to integrate a MEMS resonator, eliminating external quartz completely and conserving up to 66 percent of board space.
SiTime is also introducing the SiT9102, a differential output MEMS oscillator with an ultra-high frequency stability of +/-10 PPM.
