SiTime SiT8920 MEMS oscillator

SiTime Corporation has introduced the SiT8920 MEMS oscillator for industrial and high-reliability applications.

While operating over the temperature range -55 to +125°C, the oscillator is said to consume half the power of quartz oscillators, is twice as stable and more robust to shock and vibration.

The oscillator incorporates SoftEdge rise/fall time control that reduces system EMI without additional components, shielding or PCB redesign.

Features include: 0.1 ppb/g vibration sensitivity; 50,000 g shock and 70 g vibration resistance; 500 million hours MTBF (2 FIT); frequency stability of ±25 ppm over the operating temperature for better system timing; low power consumption (< 4 mA typical); five industry-standard package options including a tiny 2.0 x 1.6 mm, all of which are drop-in replacements for quartz oscillators
