SiTime offers MEMS oscillators to help customers speed up the design process

     SiTime, the market leader in MEMS silicon clock system solutions, has announced a 48-hour lead time for its MEMS oscillators, helping customers speed up design and reduce development efforts to generate revenue faster.Previously, customers had to wait up to 20 weeks and sometimes pay a one-time engineering fee (NRE) to get an oscillator configured to their specific requirements.

     SiTime's programmable MEMS oscillator architecture, combined with a global support network of resellers and channel partners, is changing the availability and choice in the oscillator market. By reducing the lead time for samples and low-volume production to 48 hours, both industrial customers and iot customers can dramatically accelerate their progress towards revenue generation.

     SiTime's universal low power oscillators: SiT8008/9, SiT8208/9, SiT2001/2; High temperature and automotive oscillators: SiT8918/9, ST8920/1, SiT8924/5, SiT2018/9, SiT2020/1, SiT2024/5; Differential oscillator: SiT9121/2; VCXO: SiT3808/9; µPower oscillators and TCXO: SiT1569, SiT1576/9, as well as spread frequency oscillators SiT9002/3/5, SiT9025 can be obtained within 48 hours from Digi-Key, SE-Spezial in Europe, Jointech in China, JoinTech in China. South Korea's Seungjun and SiTime company to complete the customization and delivery. The Elite Platform Differential Oscillator and high-precision TCXO will be available for 48-hour delivery from early Q2 2020. SiTime's Endura series of highly reliable, high-intensity oscillators will be available for 48-hour delivery from late 2020.

     Christopher Wuttke, CEO of SE-Spezial, said: "Following the launch of programming services for SiTime MEMS timing solutions in the Europe, Middle East and Africa market, SiTime's solutions have been further welcomed by customers. We are able to deliver the required frequency, accuracy and operating temperature range in as little as 48 hours. This flexibility is something that traditional quartz solution providers cannot match."

     SiTime's rapid programming services speed up typical product development cycles, helping technology innovators quickly and easily implement industrial and iot product ideas into design and production. The SiTime Product specification and Component Model generator on the SiTime website lists all the programmable configurations available for these MEMS oscillators. The most commonly used programmable options include frequency (accurate to six decimal places), supply voltage, output drive type and drive strength, operating temperature range, and frequency stability.

     Piyush Sevalia, Executive Vice President of Marketing at SiTime, said: "Delivering oscillators quickly and efficiently has been the Achilles heel of the quartz industry for decades. With a 48-hour lead time for our MEMS timing solution, SiTime is once again revolutionizing the timing market and leading the industry in terms of delivery."

     Compared to traditional timing solutions, SiTime's MEMS timing solutions offer programmable capabilities, high performance, high reliability, small size, low power consumption, frequency stability at high temperatures, and resistance to mechanical shock and vibration. Customers are applying these advantages to solve uniquely demanding timing problems.
