SiTime Unveils New Epoch Platform

• Engineering samples of the SiT58xx Epoch Platform will be discovered now for licensed purchasers
• Epoch will broaden the company’s communications and enterprise annual Serviceable Accessible Market (SAM) to $1.3 billion by 2024

SiTime Firm has unveiled the SiTime Epoch Platform^TM. It’s a MEMS-based, oven-controlled oscillator (OCXO) that delivers an ultra-stable clock to data centre and neighborhood infrastructure instruments, unlocking a cumulative $2 billion served addressable market (SAM) throughout the subsequent decade.

Over time, Epoch know-how will be extended to totally different high-growth electronics markets, equal to aerospace and defence, industrial controls and further. A synchronised neighborhood will depend upon quite a lot of points to verify regular operation. OCXO will “holdover” the neighborhood and assure continued operation when totally different timing sources are impacted.

With the Epoch Platform, SiTime is breaking by way of all of the restrictions of quartz OCXOs. Epoch delivers 2X longer holdover, even beneath environmental stressors, enabling telecom and cloud service suppliers to ship service continuity in real-world conditions.

“The discharge of the Epoch Platform is a pivotal second for SiTime and the electronics enterprise,” talked about Rajesh Vashist, CEO, and chairman of SiTime. “For a number of years, purchasers lived with the shortcomings of current timing utilized sciences on account of there have been no viable choices. They compromised on real-world effectivity, reliability, and vitality, to name just a few. SiTime’s Epoch Platform modifications the game, delivering bigger effectivity and reliability with lower vitality that was unavailable until now. These benefits consequence from a half-decade of engineering funding and a systems-based enchancment methodology that mixes MEMS, analog, packaging, and algorithms. Epoch, along with new merchandise launched in 2020, with additional to return, will broaden our communications and enterprise annual SAM to $1.3 billion by 2024. We think about precision timing will catalyse innovation in all electronics and drive our future success.”

“As a result of the world embraces next-gen utilized sciences, similar to the explosion of AI, the reinvention of the cloud data coronary heart, and extreme tempo 5G/6G cell networks, superior circuit and neighborhood timing choices have develop to be essential in making sure effectivity, fault tolerance and reliability,” talked about Dave Altavilla, co-founder, president, and principal analyst at HotTech Imaginative and prescient & Analysis.

Precision timing is essential to neighborhood effectivity and reliability. All nodes throughout the neighborhood needs to be synchronised in time. As an illustration, all nodes in a 5G neighborhood ought to always be synchronised inside an entire bunch of nanoseconds, which is 10X additional stringent than 4G. This stage of synchronisation needs to be maintained no matter neighborhood outages. By delivering as a lot as 2X larger effectivity, 9X smaller measurement and 3X lower vitality in features equal to datacenter switches and routers, 5G base stations and core infrastructure, the Epoch Platform items a model new bar in effectivity and reliability.

Engineering samples of the SiT58xx Epoch Platform will be discovered now for licensed purchasers. Frequent samples will be obtainable in October 2023. Amount manufacturing is predicted in early 2024.

SiTime is the precision timing agency. Its programmable choices provide a rich attribute set that allows purchasers to tell apart their merchandise with bigger effectivity, smaller measurement, lower vitality, and better reliability.
