Precision timing chipmaker SiTime Corp. has launched a family of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resonators the company claims are four times smaller than quartz alternatives.
Called the Titan Platform, the devices are targeted at small, battery-powered, internet-connected devices such as wearables, medical devices, smart home and industrial internet of things (IIoT).
SiTime said the market is expected to grow to $1 billion annually by 2028 up from $400 million this year.
The devices can be implemented in two ways:
- PCB-mounted for rapid adoption
- Bare die co-packaged with system-on-chips (SoCs) or microcontrollers (MCUs)
The integration into SoCs, MCUs and wireless chip packages at scale allow for more system value and revenue in products, SiTime said.
“Our partnership with SiTime allows us to deliver a uniquely integrated solution — combining ultra-low power processing with precision timing,” said Scott Hanson, founder and CTO of Ambiq. “This collaboration empowers our customers to build intelligent, connected products that push the boundaries of what’s possible, especially in edge AI applications where performance and efficiency are critical.”
