Overview

This class introduces the operating principles, manufacturing process, and key performance benefits of SiTime MEMS resonators and oscillators for timing applications. It also reviews the key differences between SiTime MEMS and legacy quartz-based technology.

Learning Objectives
  • What is a clock, resonator, and oscillator?
  • What is an XO, TCXO, and OCXO?
  • Operating principles of SiTime MEMS vs. quartz resonators
  • Fabrication of SiTime MEMS resonators
  • Assembly and packaging technology of SiTime MEMS versus quartz
  • Performance comparisons of SiTime MEMS vs. quartz
“This course is both an excellent introduction to MEMS oscillators and a very good presentation of the current performance of state-of-the-art industrial MEMS oscillators compared to their quartz competitors.” - Class Participant
