In this episode of Embedded Insiders, we’re joined by Piyush Sevalia, Executive Vice President of Marketing at SiTime, to discuss the evolving landscape of precision timing solutions and the shift from quartz to silicon-based MEMS. 

Next, Ken is back with another edition of ICYMI, where he updates us on some of the top embedded news stories, and this week we’ve got news from Shelly Group, Emerson, and Cincoze.

But first, Ken and I share our opinions on today’s modern precision timing solutions. 

The Embedded Computing Design editorial staff is pleased to present this year’s embedded world Best-in-Show nominees in the MEMS & Sensors category:

Timing devices within embedded systems are likely the most important components that you don’t know anything about. That’s a paraphrase from Piyush Sevalia, a Vice President at SiTime, and it’s certainly very true.
 

SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA. SiTime Corporation recently announced that it will provide its Cascade MEMS-based Clock-System-on-a-Chip (ClkSoC) and an Emerald OCXO or Elite X Super-TCXO precision timing solutions for Lattice Semiconductor's new synchronization hardware development platform.

Timing, like power, is an ever-present topic in every modern automotive electronic system. Modern cars use up to 70 timing devices, and this number is expected to grow as new automated driving features are introduced.

October 18, 2022 -- SiTime Corporation (NASDAQ: SITM), the precision timing company, today introduced an ultra-low-power 32 kHz oscillator family that provides accurate time keeping for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), infotainment, instrument clusters and electronic control units (ECUs). The unique combination of 4x better stability and up to 20% lower power extends system battery life.

SiTime provides an alternative MEMS oscillator with system-level techniques for fixing the problem of dense integration design of Dojo power module.
