Problem
Quartz-based oscillators, which provide timing references for connected devices, offer only a single MHz or kHz output. This limitation necessitates the use of multiple oscillators per system, consuming significant PCB area and increasing bill of materials (BOM) costs. Furthermore, quartz oscillators are susceptible to environmental factors and cannot be easily integrated on-chip.
Solution
Stathera provides a true dual-output MEMS oscillator that delivers both MHz and kHz timing references from a single device. This MEMS timing solution replaces two incumbent oscillators, simplifying system design, reducing PCB board-space, lowering BOM cost, and enhancing system robustness. The embedded MEMS resonator die can be integrated into standard IC products, enabling a one-chip solution.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes designers and manufacturers of wearable devices, IoT devices (remote sensing, asset tracking, smart cities, smart farming, smart homes), and smartphones.
