MSC now offers silicon MEMS-based OCXO, TCXO and VCXO products - specifically for telecommunications, networking, wireless and storage applications - from SiTime. The silicon-based timing solutions offer pin compatibility with existing quartz-based solutions, optimum space utilization, high reliability, low jitter and the best possible flexibility in terms of development, production and lead times.

MEMS-based OCXO, TCXO and VCXO products for networking, telecommunications, wireless and storage applications SiTime has used its Silicon MEMS technology and programmable analog expertise to deliver the best price-performance timing solutions that are available today. The new revolutionary Encore silicon MEMS timing platform offers in addition to excellent frequency stability of ±0.5 PPM a 650 femtoseconds of integrated RMS random phase jitter, measured over 12 kHz to 20 MHz. Applying the FibreChannel 8.5 Gbps jitter mask (in accordance with ANSII FC-PI-4), the integrated RMS random phase jitter is 200 femtoseconds. Furthermore, the MEMS-based VCXOs provide the widest pull range of up to ±1600 PPM.
