Conquer Quartz Limitations with MEMS Precision Timing for Industrial Automation
Historically, quartz timing devices were the standard technology used for timing electronic circuits in industrial applications. While Quartz oscillators (XOs) have been the defacto timing solution, it’s well known that quartz material is vulnerable to environmental stressors such as temperature variation, shock, vibration and electrical noise, leading to malfunction and even failures. Today there is a better alternative for industrial automation with silicon MEMS timing solutions that overcome limitations of legacy quartz devices. Read on to explore why successful industrial automation is a matter of timing.
