Core Insights - SiTime has announced its entry into the $4 billion resonator market with the launch of its new MEMS resonator series, the Titan platform, aimed at replacing quartz solutions in Bluetooth microcontrollers, wearables, and IoT applications [3][10] - The Titan series features a frequency range of 32 MHz to 76.8 MHz and is based on SiTime's sixth-generation FujiMEMS technology and seventh-generation analog circuits [10][11] Size and Efficiency - The Titan resonator is notable for its compact size, measuring 0.46 x 0.46 mm, making it seven times smaller than 1210 quartz crystal devices and four times smaller than 1008 quartz crystal devices [5][10] - This miniaturization is significant for space-constrained electronic products, allowing designers to either reduce PCB size or repurpose the freed space for additional functionalities [10][11] Performance Advantages - Titan offers improved aging stability, reportedly five times better than quartz, with a lifespan of five years at maximum rated temperature and strict stability across a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C [10][11] - The mechanical resilience of Titan is enhanced, with shock resistance improved by 50 times and vibration resistance by 30 times compared to quartz [10][11] - Power efficiency is another key advantage, with Titan potentially reducing oscillator circuit power consumption by up to 50% and startup energy consumption by three times compared to quartz solutions [10][11] Compatibility and Integration - Titan's design ensures electrical compatibility with existing oscillator circuits originally designed for quartz, allowing engineers to use Titan as a direct replacement without the need for extensive redesigns [11][13] - The integration of Titan with SoC or MCU can eliminate the need for external resonators, simplifying PCB layout and maximizing the utility of limited I/O pins [13] Product Launch and Future Plans - The first product in the Titan series is the 32 MHz SiT11100, with mass production samples available now, while additional models will be released by December 2025 [13] - SiTime has also introduced the SiT6400EB evaluation board to facilitate the design process, enabling customers to replace quartz devices with Titan resonators in existing designs [13]
