Electronics Weekly reports on SiTime's XCalibur


“SiTime’s portfolio consists of many unique solutions that deliver value to customers. We are continuing that tradition by creating a new category of MEMS-based active resonators that opens up a $200 million SAM within the $4 billion resonator market,” says evp Piyush Sevalia, “our new XCalibur active resonators solve quartz availability problems through programmability and by using the semiconductor supply chain that is independent of quartz. Additionally, quartz resonators are notorious for posing design challenges requiring additional testing and development, delaying customers’ projects. XCalibur solves these challenges by providing a more reliable, flexible drop-in replacement that’s much easier to implement.”
