Si Time Corp. will supply microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) timing solutions for Garmin International’s automotive, aviation, marine, fitness and outdoor products.
With the deployment of 5G, internet of things (IoT) and automotive electronics in outdoor environments, timing solutions enable environmental robustness and solve difficult challenges including power, size and reliability. The timing market is expected to grow to $10.1 billion by 2024, Garmin said.
Timing solutions are used in every GPS receiver and impact the speed of signal acquisition as well as position accuracy. The MEMS also help extend battery life for many applications for environmental stresses such as shock, vibration, rapid temperature changes and extreme temperatures.
