SiTime, an innovative Silicon Valley based semiconductor company, specializes in MEMS oscillators, sensors, and other timed analog products.
SiTime offers a range of products suited to a variety of applications including aerospace, automotive and consumer electronics. The SiTime MEMS oscillator, for example, is an ultra-tiny and power efficient miniature timekeeping device that utilizes MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology to offer a range of ultra-high precision timing solutions. These includes both quartz-based analog and digital oscillators, and integrated signal chain solutions.
SiTime’s MEMS technology is based on a silicon-based mechanical component called an accelerometer, which controls a resonator. This accelerometer converts the torque generated by the resonator into digital pulses. These pulses correspond to the frequency of the output of the oscillator. This output can be used for precise timekeeping applications, including high frequency quartz crystals, surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters and MEMS resonators.
In addition to its MEMS oscillators, SiTime also offers MEMS sensors such as pressure, acceleration, vibration, and temperature sensors. Its products are designed to offer high performance and long-term reliability, enabling them to be used in a variety of industrial, consumer, and medical applications.
The combination of SiTime’s MEMS technology and expertise in the field of timing and precision analog makes it a leader in its industry. Its products offer the highest level of precision timing performance and reliability, providing customers with an unparalleled level of technology and service. With a team of experienced engineers and scientists, SiTime is committed to providing innovative products and solutions that are designed to meet the demands of today’s market.
