Markus Lutz

Founder & SVP / GM

Markus co-founded SiTime in 2005 and, within two years, released the world’s first MEMS oscillator into mass production. Markus is a MEMS expert, a prolific entrepreneur and inventor. He holds over 100 patents, including patents underlying MEMS First™ and EpiSeal™, the processes used to manufacture SiTime silicon MEMS resonators. Markus previously worked at Robert Bosch GmbH, where he invented the world’s first mass-produced MEMS gyroscope. He was a visiting scholar at Stanford University for five years, is a frequent speaker at major MEMS conferences, and recurrent contributor to technical journals. Markus received his Diplom Ingenieur Elektrotechnik at the Technical University of Munich.

Why Precision Timing Holds the High Ground Over Quartz (Part 2 of 2, Programmability)

To meet the demands of emerging technology and keep systems running like clockwork, it’s time to rethink your timing devices. In this two-part Precision Timing series, you will learn why micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) silicon timing devices take the high ground over quartz in the new age of electronic design. This is part 2 of the series on programmability.
