SiTime is First to Offer Complete Oscillator Solutions for Tablet PCs and E-Book Readers
SUNNYVALE, CA, Apr 11, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
SiTime Corporation, the leader in MEMS-based silicon timing
solutions, today announced the availability of a complete portfolio
of MEMS oscillators for Tablet PCs and E-Book Readers. These
solutions, all of which are based on SiTime's SiT8003 Low Power MEMS
Oscillator platform, provide clocking for every major functional
block in the Tablet PC and E-Book Reader. The SiT8003 is 30% thinner
than quartz and offers 10 times better robustness to shock and
vibration, improving the aesthetics and lifespan of the Tablet PC and
E-book Readers.
"Tablet PCs and E-Book Readers are one of the fastest growing
segments in the electronics industry and are expected to ship over
200 Million units by 2014. SiTime's low-power, programmable MEMS
oscillators already provide the timing reference for many Tablet PCs
and E-Book Readers," said Piyush Sevalia, SiTime's vice president of
marketing. "Exciting, high-volume applications such as Tablet PCs
have rapidly adopted SiTime's Silicon MEMS timing solutions over
legacy quartz products, as our solutions offer the best size and
robustness, unprecedented flexibility, industry-leading 3-5 week lead
times and the lowest cost of ownership."
SiTime's SiT8003 low-power programmable MEMS oscillator can be
configured to drive many different devices within a Tablet PC and
E-Book Reader. Some common configurations are highlighted below:
-- SiT8003AC-12-18S-26.00000 for the Applications Processor and USB2.0
transceiver
-- SiT8003AC-12-33S-14.31800 for the Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chip
-- SiT8003AC-12-33S-22.57920 for the HDMI SOC
-- SiT8003AC-12-33S-24.57600 for the audio CODECs
-- SiT8003AC-12-33S-27.00000 for the camera module
The SiT8003 offers the best combination of low power, small size and
high performance for Tablet PC and E-Book Reader designs. The device
consumes 3.5mA in active mode and less than 5uA in standby mode,
offers +/-25PPM frequency stability over -20oC to 70oC operating
temperature and is available in a tiny, 2.5x2.0mm package.
SiTime's SiT8003 offers configurable rise and fall times at no
additional cost. By controlling the rise and fall times of the
various clocks within the system, the designer reduces system EMI and
can meet environmental compliance more easily, cost-effectively and
without any design changes.
Additional features and benefits of the SiT8003 include:
-- Any frequency between 1 and 110 MHz with 5 decimal places of accuracy.
A customized clock frequency can be used for increased performance
(over-clocking) or cheaper testability
-- Configurable operating voltage, 1.8, 2.5, 2.8 or 3.3V.
-- Industrial (-40 to +85 degreesC) and extended commercial (-20 to +70
degreesC) temperature range
-- 4 industry-standard packages, enabling replacement of quartz
oscillators with no design changes.
-- The world's shortest lead times -- samples shipments in 24-48 hours
and production lead times of 3-5 weeks.
The devices are available in production now, and pricing is available
upon request.
