MEMS Timing

MEMS Timing Revolutionizes Oscillator Technology


A disruptive technology over the century-old quartz oscillator, Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS)-based oscillators have received wide market adoption in recent years due to the reliability, short lead times and small package sizes. As the leader in this rapidly growing market, we can help you identify solutions for your timing needs. We offer industry’s most complete MEMS-based timing solutions that include both single output oscillators that are drop-in replacements to the traditional quartz oscillators and multiple output clock generators that can provide a highly reliable and accurate reference clock to your system without the need of an external reference crystal.

Silicon MEMS-based timing devices offer high reliability (including AEC-Q100 certification for automotive use), wide operating temperatures (−55⁰C to 125⁰C), superb shock and vibration resistance, high accuracy (±10 ppm) and small size (1.6 mm × 1.2 mm).

Why Design With Our MEMS Oscillators?


MEMS oscillators provide a reliable, efficient, cost-effective solution for precise timing and synchronization needs across diverse industries. We offer several compelling advantages for your design.

  • Precision and stability
    • Exceptional timekeeping and synchronization across various applications
  • Size and integration
    • Extremely small and compact timing devices for space-constrained applications
  • Durability and reliability
    • Resistant to shock, vibration and temperature variations, which makes them reliable in harsh environments
  • Low power consumption
    • Consume less power than traditional quartz-based timing devices, which is crucial for battery-operated and portable devices
  • Shorter time to market
    • Streamline your development process with our flexible configuration and quickly obtain the precise frequency you need
