SiTime expands IoT portfolio with low power TCXO
SiTime Corporation, a provider in MEMS timing, has launched the SiT5008 temperature-compensated silicon MEMS oscillator (TCXO).
The SiT5008 is said to be ideal for connected consumer and Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as internet-connected audio-video, over-the-top streaming devices, industrial smart metres, and other devices that use low power wireless connectivity. Like other SiTime offerings, the SiT5008 offers programmable features, high reliability, and environmental resilience in a small package.
“The development of our SiT5008 is a great example of our rapid release strategy, where we develop up to 15 product derivatives from a single base platform and bring them to market quickly,” says Piyush Sevalia, executive vice president of marketing of SiTime.
“Each derivative has customised features and solves unique timing problems for customers. In this case, we improved the frequency stability by 10 times by optimising our algorithms and delivered the product in just two months. This accelerated development was possible because of our systems knowledge and continued investment in automation.”
The SiT5008 is a small, low power ±2 ppm MEMS TCXO and includes the following features:
· Any frequency between 10 MHz and 60 MHz accurate to 6 decimals
· ±2 ppm to ±10 ppm frequency stability
· Operating temperature from -40 to +85°C
· Low power consumption of 3.5 mA typical at 1.8 V
· Standby mode for longer battery life
· LVCMOS output
· Industry-standard 2.5 x 2.0 mm x mm package, 100% pin-compatible with quartz devices
· RoHS and REACH compliant, Pb-free, Halogen-free, and Antimony-free
The SiT5008 TCXO is available in production now.
