MEMS oscillator meets industrial, military specs
The company claims the TM651 is superior to existing quartz and MEMS-based timing solutions.
The component consists of a piezoelectric MEMS resonator hermetically bonded to an RF ASIC containing oscillator and temperature compensation circuitry. It offers a 125MHz differential output at half the current drain of comparable quartz products. The RMS jitter is ±5ppm over a temperature range of -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C. The component also offers 30,000g shock survivability.
"As a leading supplier into communications infrastructure, industrial and military markets Analog Devices is committed to exploring technologies that may improve the experience of our customers. Having initially invested in Sand 9 late last year, we are pleased to see them launch their first precision MEMS timing product," said Peter Real, vice president of high speed products and technology at Analog Devices Inc., in a statement issued by Sand 9.
The TM651 is currently sampling to lead customers, and will be ramping to mass production in 1Q14. It is available in an industry-standard 3.2mm by 2.5mm by 1.2mm LGA package.
