Synchronizing high-speed digital circuitry needs rock-solid time bases, which usually means quartz-crystal based oscillators. CMOS oscillator makers, however, claim to be pioneering a new breed of ...

Almost every electronic product needs a clock to provide its 'heartbeat' and, traditionally, this heartbeat has been supplied by a quartz oscillator. While there is nothing wrong with the basic ...

According to the mixed signal semiconductor specialist, it is the only company to offer quartz-crystal level performance with a cmos oscillator in both forms. The ICs are designed to eliminate quartz ...

Compared with a 33-MHz Epson SG-8002 quartz crystal oscillator, a MOS1 MEMS oscillator at the same frequency exhibits comparable jitter performance (RMS periodic jitter of 25.38 ps vs. 29.22 ps ...

Few electronic components have stood the test of time better than the quartz-crystal oscillator or resonator. But researchers continue to search for a quartz replacement because the components don’t ...

Integrating MEMS and CMOS technologies in a single monolithic die can eliminate many of the disadvantages of conventional two-die MEMS oscillator solutions. To alleviate the drawbacks of quartz ...

According to Michael McCorquodale, general manager of the IDT silicon frequency control business, this is the first time quartz-crystal-level performance is available with a CMOS oscillator in wafer ...

We are always glad to see [Ken Shirriff] tear into something new and this month he’s looking inside a quartz oscillator module. Offhand, you’d think there’s not much to these. A slab of ...

Quartz component maker Taitien Electronic expects new capacity to go online in July, ramping up production capability for various products, particularly a 15-20% increase for oscillator capacity ...

Replacing the standard quartz crystal with a temperature-compensated MEMS oscillator is one hack that [Alex] tried, and it appears to have worked out well. His project write-up doesn’t specify ...
