In an ever-evolving technological landscape, precision timing plays an increasingly important role in system performance and reliability, especially when it comes to critical infrastructure such as AI computing platforms, 5G base stations, and cloud datacenters. Enter SiTime's Epoch Platform™, a silicon MEMS-based precision timing solution delivering a state-of-the-art advancement in oscillator technology that promises to redefine industry standards.

Introducing SiTime's industry-leading Epoch Platform

SiTime's new Epoch Platform stands out as the industry’s smallest and lowest power oven-controlled oscillator (OCXO) family, capable of ±1 ppb stability over temperature, a key milestone for high performance timing. With a formfactor of just 9.0 x 7.0 x 3.6 mm, the footprint of Epoch OCXOs are 9x smaller and the volume is 25x less than comparable ±1 ppb quartz OCXOs. And the 420 mW power consumption in steady state is 3x lower. Ultra-small size and low power aren’t the only distinguishing factors of the new Epoch Platform OCXOs. With 3x lower Hadamard deviation (HDEV) under airflow, low aging, and excellent frequency over temp slope (dT/dF), these oscillators offer unrivaled holdover in real-world conditions. This ensures 2x better service continuity.

A key innovation underpinning the Epoch Platform is SiTime’s unique DualMEMS® and TurboCompensation® temperature sensing technology. These innovations ensure impeccable precision timing even when faced with external stressors such as airflow and rapid  temperature fluctuations.
