SiTime Ships in High Volume.Solid Engineering and Manufacturing Enable SiTime to Surpass Major MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s. Production 100,000/week Milestone SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- SiTime Corporation, the world's leading innovator of MEMS-based timing solutions, today announced that their SiT8002 and SiT1 oscillator oscillator Mechanical or electronic device that produces a back-and-forth periodic motion. A pendulum is a simple mechanical oscillator that swings with a constant amplitude, requiring the addition of energy at each swing only to compensate for the energy lost because of air families are shipping at a production rate of more than 100,000 units per week, making these products the top-selling MEMS-based oscillators worldwide. This milestone represents the start of a new silicon MEMS industry that stands poised to replace a substantial portion of the 10 billion quartz-based oscillators produced annually. "Shipping fully qualified MEMS-based oscillators in high volume is a major milestone in the electronics industry," said Kurt Petersen, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of SiTime. "Reaching this milestone is a great accomplishment that validates SiTime's technology and could not have been achieved without the outstanding people we have at SiTime." The SiT8002 is the world's smallest programmable oscillator, which allows for fast-turn prototyping, and can be programmed to any frequency between 1 MHz - 125 MHz. The SiT1 fixed frequency oscillators are available in 173 common frequencies and are a low cost solution for high volume customers. Both oscillator products are offered in four package sizes down to 2.5 x 2.0 mm, and are highly reliable, mechanically robust, and low cost compared to competitive quartz solutions.
