Mobile clock generator enables advanced wireless connectivity

SiTime Corporation has announced Symphonic, its first mobile clock generator with an integrated MEMS resonator (SiT30100). Symphonic delivers accurate and resilient clock signals for 5G and GNSS chipsets and allows efficient power consumption in mobile and IoT devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and asset trackers. This product unlocks a cumulative $2 billion served addressable market (SAM) in the next five years.

“Every generation of mobile devices becomes smarter, delivering greater functionality, personalisation and automation,” said Rajesh Vashist, CEO and chairman of SiTime. “Timing devices must withstand thermal and mechanical stressors as processing and connectivity speeds increase. Our newest mobile clock generator delivers the precision timing required for advanced connectivity of next-generation mobile devices.”

The clock generator has an integrated MEMS resonator and supplies the functionality of up to four discrete timing devices. This approach simplifies system design, decreasing space on the board. An integrated temperature sensor delivers accurate information used by compensation algorithms to provide superior stability. This allows better GPS accuracy and faster lock time at the system level, providing a more stable performance under harsh environmental conditions.
