MEMS Clock ICs and Oscillators Arrive in Time for 5G
Great coverage from David Maliniak at Microwaves&RF on ultra-reliable, low-jitter MEMS clock IC & oscillator families that solidify why timing is critical to infrastructure.
Timing is everything in the fast-growing communications and enterprise markets, and SiTime has recently made two announcements that further solidify its place in the realm of timing devices that are so critical to infrastructure. The company’s Cascade SiT9514x family of MEMS clock ICs using its recently launched third-generation MEMS resonators that deliver higher performance with lower power. Meanwhile, the SiT9501 differential MEMS oscillators deliver high performance for 100G to 800G optical modules in a package as much as 50% smaller than quartz-based oscillators.
