Automotive MEMS oscillators claim 30x ruggedness vs. xtals
The devices are presented as 30 times more robust than quartz oscillators (tolerance of g-loads), offering stability over -55 to +125°C for in-vehicle communications, and with EMI reduction features for environmental compliance. They claim widest frequency range, tightest stability at ±20 ppm and the best reliability. The SiT2024/25 oscillators are optimized for engine-compartment systems such as engine control, transmission control, active suspension control, electronic steering and other ECUs. These oscillators are available in a SOT23-5 leaded package to enable visual inspection and to enable solder joint reliability, especially in hot and cold environments. The SiT8924/25 oscillators, available in industry-standard QFN footprints as small as 2.0 x 1.6 mm, are suitable for camera modules and other small form factor systems.
Features include;
AEC-Q100 qualified, Grade 1 (-40°C to +125°C), Grade 2 (-40°C to +105°C) and extended temperature range (-55°C to +125°C)
