SiTime intros low-power MEMS oscillator for consumer devices

SiTime introduced a low-power, temperature-compensated silicon MEMS oscillator (TCXO) designed for for connected consumer and IoT devices such as Internet-connected audio-video, over-the-top streaming devices, industrial smart meters, and other devices that use low power wireless connectivity. 

Features of the SiT5008 Temperature-Compensated MEMS Oscillator

  • Any frequency between 10 MHz and 60 MHz accurate to 6 decimals
  • ±2 ppm to ±10 ppm frequency stability
  • Operating temperature from -40 to +85°C
  • Low power consumption of 3.5 mA typical at 1.8 V
  • Standby mode for longer battery life
  • LVCMOS output
  • Industry-standard 2.5 x 2.0 mm x mm package, 100% pin-compatible with quartz devices
  • RoHS and REACH compliant, Pb-free, Halogen-free, and Antimony-free

“The development of our SiT5008 is a great example of our rapid release strategy, where we develop up to 15 product derivatives from a single base platform and bring them to market quickly,” said Piyush Sevalia, executive vice president of marketing of SiTime. “Each derivative has customized features and solves unique timing problems for customers. In this case, we improved the frequency stability by 10 times by optimizing our algorithms and delivered the product in just two months. This accelerated development was possible because of our systems knowledge and continued investment in automation.”
