Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

UAVs are exposed to harsh conditions such as shock, vibration, and extreme weather. They need a ruggedized timing solution that is as tough as the environment in which they operate. MEMS timing provides robust performance with the best acceleration sensitivity, better phase noise under vibration, and excellent stability over wide temp ranges.
SiTime Endura timing products begin with hermetically sealed MEMS resonators coupled with advanced mixed-signal ICs to provide a system solution that yields higher reliability and robust performance under dynamic conditions.
SiTime MEMS Timing Benefits
