MEMS oscillator consumes only 6.5 mA at 125 MHz

(pressebox) Stutensee, 14.01.2011 – MSC now offers the new SiT8004 MEMS oscillator in the 125 MHz to 150 MHz frequency range from SiTime. Key features of this device are just 6.5 mA typical power consumption and 1.2 µA ultra low standby current.

Frequency stability of the oscillator device varies between ± 20 ppm and ± 50 ppm, according to the supply voltage – 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 2.8 V or 3.3 V – applied. Four industry-standard packages from 2.5 mm x 2.0 mm to 7.0 mm x 5.0 mm are available.

Thanks to its 50% to 75% lower power consumption compared to similar standard quartz oscillators, the SiT8004 is ideally suited for use in „green“ DDR, SSD, SAS, SATA, HDMI and video pixel clock applications as well as 1-Gigabit Ethernet, GPON and EPON network applications.

Datasheets and samples of the SiT8004 are available upon request. Please contact: frequency-sitime@msc-ge.com.
