SiTime Announces SiT8004 High Frequency Oscillator
SiTime Corporation introduced the SiT8004, the industry’s lowest power high frequency oscillator. The SiT8004 reduces oscillator power consumption by up to 66% and is ideally suited for high performance networking, video, computing and storage applications.
The SiT8004 MEMS-based programmable oscillator features 6.7mA of typical current consumption at 125MHz, which is up to 66% lower than that of a standard crystal oscillator.
SiT8004 key features:
- Ability to configure the device to any custom frequency with 5 decimal places of accuracy, and receive samples within 1 week. Custom frequencies such as 125.00375 MHz (instead of 125 MHz) are used for Gigabit Ethernet to improve Bit Error Rate (BER).
- Excellent frequency stability, as low as ±20PPM that can enhance overall system stability in cloud computing applications.
- 100% drop-in replacement of quartz solutions in all four industry-standard surface-mount packages (7.0×5.0 mm, 5.0×3.2 mm, 3.2×2.5 mm and 2.5×2.0 mm)
- Superior robustness with 500 million hours in mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) that is critical to high reliability, fail-safe systems in networking, communication and servers
- Extreme ruggedness that is just not available from quartz. The device exhibits shock resistance of up to 50,000 G and vibration resistance of up to 70 G.
The SiT8004 is available in high volume production today. The list price for 10,000 units of the 125MHz SiT8004 in a 2.5×2.0mm package, 25 PPM stability, industrial temperature range (-40 to +85 °C) is $0.98.
