The emergence of silicon MEMS brought radical improvements in the once staid timing industry and now MEMS timing solutions are rapidly replacing quartz products. By Piyush Sevalia, Executive VP of Marketing & Dr. Aaron Partridge, Chief Scientist, SiTime.

SiTime announces the completion of its acquisition by MegaChips. This closing follows the earlier announcement that SiTime had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by MegaChips for $200m in cash. SiTime will retain its name and operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of MegaChips.

SiTime and MegaChips have signed a definitive agreement under which MegaChips will acquire SiTime for $200m in cash. Scheduled to close in November 2014 (pending regulatory approvals and customary conditions), SiTime will retain its name and operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of MegaChips upon closing.

SiTime Corporation introduces the SiT8920 MEMS oscillator for industrial and high reliability applications. Due to its unique silicon MEMS and analog architecture, the SiT8920 outperforms quartz oscillators in every major performance category.

SiTime Corporation today introduced the SiT3907 MEMS-based Digitally Controlled Oscillator. The SiT3907 DCXO is radically different than analog, quartz-based VCXOs as it offers an in-system digital control interface that is used for tuning the output frequency. This unique feature, along with 100 times better linearity and 8 times better pull range than quartz VCXOs, improves performance and enables simpler, more reliable systems.

VCTCXO Products with 1 to 220 MHz Frequencies, Industrial Temperature and 500 fs Jitter are Optimized for Telecom, Networking, and Wireless Applications

Silicon MEMS Timing Solutions are Smallest, Thinnest, Shock and Vibration Proof

Encore-Based SiT820X Family offers 600 Femtoseconds Phase Jitter, 10 PPM Stability, 220 MHz Frequency Range and 1.8V – 3.3V Operation

SiTime Corporation, has introduced its complete portfolio of MEMS oscillators targeted at Solid State Drives (SSDs). SiTime’s all-silicon MEMS oscillators can withstand shocks of 50,000 G, vibrations of 70 G, and are 10 times more reliable than legacy quartz oscillators. These key features increase the robustness and reliability of SSDs, thus increasing their useful life and suitability for usage in harsh environments. Customers are typically u...
