SiTime introduces the SiT8021 oscillator

     SiTime, Inc., a MEMS and analog semiconductor company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of MegaChips Corporation, announced a new family of μPowerMEMS oscillators for the wear-resistant, iot and mobile markets. The SiT8021 oscillator, the first device in this series, shatters the limitations of quartz technology by setting new benchmarks in power consumption, size and weight. The SiT8021 consumes 90 percent less power, is 40 percent smaller, and is 70 percent lighter than quartz devices. These best-in-class specifications enable the longest battery life for smartwatches, fitness bands, tablets, smartphones, portable audio and accessories, as well as the smallest size and weight.

     "In 2013 and 2014, SiTime introduced the smallest, lowest-power 32 kHz oscillator and TCXO for the iot and mobile markets. These products are based on SiTime's game-changing TempFlat™MEMS and low-power programmable simulation technology. Customers are moving quickly through these 32 KHZ XOs and TCXOs - we expect to ship tens of millions of units by 2015, "said Sevalia's Piyush, executive vice president of marketing at SiTime. "Fast to innovate, SiTime uses our innovative technology to provide customers with mPower home megahertz MEMS oscillators. This new family of oscillators pushes the limits of quartz technology to enable smaller electronic devices with longer battery life. "

     "Both body dressing and iot generate a lot of excitement as they are expected to drive the future of the semiconductor industry," said Tony Massimini, Director of Science and Technology at Semico Research. "SiTime, with its leadership in silicon MEMS clock solutions, is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the rapid growth of grooming and the Internet of Things."
