MEMS and analog semiconductor company and a wholly owned subsidiary of MegaChips SiTime's (SiTime Corporation) today announced the launch of innovative products Elite Platform â„¢, which includes Super-TCXO â„¢ (temperature compensated oscillators) and a variety of oscillators. These high-precision devices can be used to solve the long-standing clock problems in telecom and networking equipment. Even under environmental stress, the Elite Platform helps communication equipment achieve the highest levels of performance, reliability and quality of service.

According to Siesh CEO Rajesh Vashist, "The number of devices that must be deployed in an uncontrolled environment such as basements, roadsides, roofs and utility poles is rapidly increasing due to the trend of network densification. Therefore, these systems High-precision clock components must be able to operate at high temperatures, thermal shocks, vibrations, and unpredictable airflow. Therefore, service providers are beginning to worry about whether quartz technology can meet such challenges. SiTime is introducing the MEMS-based Elite Platform. Meeting the above environmental needs. Due to its unique product characteristics, the customer verification response was very enthusiastic. We are convinced that the Elite solution will overturn the $1.5 billion global communications and network clock market."

The Elite clocking solution is based on the innovative DualMEMSTM architecture with TurboCompensationTM technology. The architecture has three features that provide excellent dynamic performance:

· Rugged, reliable and proven TempFlat MEMSTM eliminates frequency dips and provides 30 times more vibration immunity than quartz

100% accurate thermal coupled DualMEMS temperature sensing, so temperature tracking is 40 times faster, ensuring optimum performance under airflow and rapid temperature changes

· Highly integrated mixed-signal circuit with on-chip voltage regulator, time-to-digital converter (TDC) and low-noise phase-locked loop (PLL), which boosts power supply noise by 5 times and temperature resolution by 30 uK, which is 10 times more quartz and supports all frequencies between 1-700 MHz

Joe Madden, founder and principal analyst of Mobile Experts, pointed out: "The new telecom infrastructure uses 4G/5G small base stations and synchronous Ethernet networks to increase network data capacity; these systems use high-power components that have high and ever-changing heat. Load. When the temperature changes rapidly, the dynamic performance of high-precision clock components will become a key requirement for this type of equipment. MEMS technology has performed better in a dynamic environment and has become a very interesting alternative to quartz technology."
