IDT Introduces World’s First Piezoelectric MEMS Oscillators for High-performance Applications

Business Wire
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®)(NASDAQ:IDTI), the
Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal
semiconductor solutions, today announced the world’s first
CrystalFree™ piezoelectric MEMS (pMEMS™) LVDS / LVPECL oscillators
for high-performance communications, consumer, cloud, and
industrial applications. IDT’s new oscillators operate with
substantially less than one picosecond of phase jitter in compact
industry-standard packaging, making them an ideal replacement for
traditional six-pin crystal oscillators (XOs).
The IDT 4M series high-performance LVDS / LVPECL oscillators
leverage IDT’s patented CrystalFree pMEMS resonator technology,
enabling IDT to rapidly factory-program the desired output
frequency without the need to fine-tune expensive crystals. In
addition, because the nominal resonator frequency of pMEMS is much
higher than quartz crystal, 4M oscillators are able to achieve
higher frequencies at lower cost without sacrificing critical
performance. The 4M series is the first of a broad portfolio of
MEMS-based devices from IDT that will provide customers with
convenient, accurate, low-jitter timing references.
“As the leader in timing, our customers have been waiting for
IDT’s pMEMS technology to expand into high-performance applications
such as communications – a significant segment of the $4B frequency
control market,” said Fred Zust, vice president and general manager
of the Timing and Synchronization Division at IDT. “IDT’s patented
pMEMS resonator technology combines the strong electromechanical
coupling of the piezoelectric material with the stability and low
damping of single-crystal silicon, allowing us to create convenient
and cost-effective XO replacements with unparalleled performance
and reliability. These products complement our award-winning
solid-state oscillators to offer a comprehensive frequency control
portfolio to replace quartz-based devices in a growing number of
market segments.”
The IDT 4M oscillators operate with ±50 ppm frequency accuracy
over the wide industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The
devices support low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) and
low-voltage positive emitter-coupled logic (LVPECL) at frequencies
of up to 625 MHz, meeting the stringent requirements of most
communications, networking and high-performance computing
applications. In addition to 7.0 x 5.0 mm (7050) sizes, IDT’s pMEMS
oscillators are available in small 5.0 x 3.2 mm (5032) standard
plastic packages to save cost and minimize the application
footprint in densely populated enclosures. By design, they are
pin-to-pin compatible with traditional XOs, making them an ideal
upgrade replacement solution.
Pricing and Availability
The IDT 4M oscillators are currently sampling to qualified
customers and are available in hundreds of configurations based on
frequency, voltage, output types and industry standard packages.
