SiTime has introduced the Titan Platform, a new family of MEMS resonators that are up to four times smaller than the smallest quartz equivalents. The launch allows unprecedented levels of miniaturisation and integration in compact, battery-powered, connected devices such as wearables, medical equipment, smart home systems, and industrial IoT.
The new platform expands SiTime’s Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM) by $400 million today, with expectations to reach $1 billion annually within three years.
Rajesh Vashist, CEO of SiTime, announced: “Titan fulfils our vision of being the only provider of complete timing components – oscillators, clocks, and now, resonators. Titan is the result of over a decade of innovation in MEMS design, materials science, and semiconductor process engineering. SiTime’s proprietary MEMS technology, now in its sixth generation with FujiMEMS, is the foundation for Titan, which is years ahead of competitors. By integrating resonators into SoCs, MCUs, and wireless chip packages at scale, customers can capture more system value and revenue with their products. This integration is transformative for the entire electronics industry.”
Expanding on this statement, Piyush Sevalia, Executive Vice President, Marketing at SiTime told Electronic Specifier: “Our product is something that’s very strategic to SiTime’s business. It allows us to become the complete timing solutions provider. It provides compelling benefits for the next generation of connected, battery-powered, small-size electronics, and it actually changes the way timing is done in the industry. This could be a transformative event for the industry, and that’s why we are making a big deal about this.”
Built for integration
Resonators act as the heartbeat of an electronic system’s clock tree. Titan offers two implementation paths:
- PCB-mounted for straightforward adoption
- Bare die for co-packaging with SoCs or MCUs, removing the need for a discrete resonator
This flexibility means OEMs and semiconductor partners can reduce size, simplify design, and enhance functionality.
Sevalia added: “Until now, resonators were standalone devices outside the SoC or MCU. The challenge was that quartz resonators are housed in ceramic packages, while SoCs and MCUs typically sit in plastic packages. Integrating them together caused performance issues. With Titan, we can integrate directly inside the package, which is something the semiconductor industry has been doing for years with multiple silicon dies. That makes this approach both practical and disruptive.”
Applications at the Edge
Titan is designed for demanding Edge environments where performance, reliability, and power efficiency are critical.
- Wearables such as smartwatches, continuous glucose monitors, and smart rings benefit from Titan’s ultra-compact footprint and lower power.
- Medical devices including hearing aids, biosensors, and implantables gain improved reliability and longer battery life.
- Smart home and industrial IoT systems such as sensors and asset trackers can be made smaller, more rugged, and energy-efficient.
Scott Hanson, Founder and CTO of Ambiq, commented: “SiTime’s Titan resonators are a game-changer. Our partnership with SiTime allows us to deliver a uniquely integrated solution – combining ultra-low power processing with Precision Timing. This collaboration empowers our customers to build intelligent, connected products that push the boundaries of what’s possible, especially in Edge AI applications where performance and efficiency are critical.”
Explaining how Titan addresses power demands in real-world conditions, Sevalia said: “In a smartwatch or activity tracker, connectivity to the phone is not always on because of power savings. The faster the RF interface turns on, the faster it can transfer data and then shut off again. Titan’s faster start-up helps save battery life and enables devices to operate more efficiently.”
Powered by FujiMEMS technology
Built on the company’s sixth-generation FujiMEMS platform, Titan brings reliability and performance advantages over legacy quartz resonators:
- 0505 CSP size (0.46 x 0.46mm), seven times smaller than 1210 quartz
- Up to 50% lower oscillator circuit power consumption
- Three times faster start-up with three times lower energy use
- Five times better ageing stability, specified for five years at maximum temperature
- Tighter stability across temperatures from –40°C to 125°C
- 50 times better shock and vibration resilience
