First to Offer 25 PPM Total Frequency Stability for the Same Price as 50-100 PPM
SUNNYVALE, Calif. – February 22, 2011 – SiTime Corporation, the leader in MEMS-based silicon timing solutions, today announced that it is the first timing component supplier to offer 25 PPM frequency stability for the same price as 50 or 100 PPM. Networking, storage, consumer and industrial electronics customers can now use SiTime’s industry-leading, SiT8003 and SiT8103 programmable oscillators with 25 PPM stability to dramatically improve their system performance and reliability with no added cost.
“A timing reference that offers excellent frequency stability is extremely important to electronics manufacturers as it has significant impact on overall system performance and reliability,” said Piyush Sevalia, vice president of marketing at SiTime. “In the past few decades, quartz oscillator suppliers have failed to provide cost-effective, 25 PPM devices. With the 25 PPM SiT8003 and SiT8103, SiTime is setting a new benchmark in price-performance. Many of our customers have already standardized on 25 PPM devices across all their designs and divisions, and simplified their inventory management by eliminating multiple suppliers and part numbers. By using programmable silicon to offer compelling new features, SiTime continues to transform the timing marketplace.”
SiTime’s SiT8003 and SiT8103 programmable oscillators are now offering 25 PPM total frequency stability for the same price as 50-100 PPM. This frequency stability specification is available over both commercial and industrial temperature ranges. Additional key features and benefits are listed below:
The SiT8003 and SiT8103 are available in high volume production today. The list price for 10,000 units of the SiT8103 in a 2.5x2.0mm package, 25 PPM stability, industrial temperature range (-40 to +85 °C) and any frequency up to 80 MHz is $0.68.
