SiTime has recently declared the availability of its portfolio of MEMS oscillators to be used in Tablet PCs and E-Book Readers.
The solutions, based on the company’s SiT8003 Low Power MEMS Oscillator platform, deliver clocking for every functional block in the Tablet PC and E-Book Reader. It offers resilience to shock and vibration, and enhances aesthetics and lifespan of the electronic devices it is being incorporated into.
Piyush Sevalia, vice president of marketing at SiTime said that tablet PCs and E-Book Readers are expected to be exported more than 200 million units over the next four years.
The low-power programmable oscillator can be used to develop multiple devices within a Tablet PC and E-Book Reader. It consumes 3.5mA in active mode and less than 5µA in standby mode, offering ±25PPM frequency stability over -20 to 70ºC and comes in a nano-sized, 2.5x2.0mm package. It offers configurable rise and fall times without needing further investment. The various clocks can be controlled to reduce system EMI and meet environmental compliance cost-effectively and without changing the design.
