The days of waiting weeks for MEMS oscillators, possibly with non-recurring engineering (NRE) fees to boot, are over now that SiTime is offering 48-hour availability for its MEMS oscillators. SiTime’s programmable MEMS oscillator architecture, supported by a global network of distributors and channel partners, makes it possible for designers in the industrial and IoT segments to dramatically accelerate design cycles.

SiTime’s rapid programming service accelerates the phases of typical product development to help technology innovators take an industrial and IoT product idea to design and production quickly and easily. Some of the programmable options include frequency (with up to six decimal places of accuracy), supply voltage, output drive type and drive strength, operating temperature range, and frequency stability.

Compared to legacy timing solutions, SiTime’s MEMS timing solutions offer programmability along with high performance, reliability, small size, low power consumption, frequency stability over temperature, and resilience to mechanical shock and vibration.

SiTime’s low-power oscillators: SiT8008/9, SiT8208/9, SiT2001/2; high-temp and automotive oscillators: SiT8918/9, ST8920/1, SiT8924/5, SiT2018/9, SiT2020/1, SiT2024/5; differential oscillators: SiT9121/2; VCXOs: SiT3808/9; µPower oscillators and TCXOs: SiT1569, SiT1576/9, and spread spectrum oscillators SiT9002/3/5, SiT9025 can be customized and shipped in 48 hours from various distributors, including Digi-Key, and from SiTime. The Elite Platform of differential oscillators and precision TCXOs will be available for 48-hour shipment starting in early Q2 2020. SiTime’s Endura series of high reliability, ruggedized oscillators will be available for 48-hour shipment in late 2020.
