A radical SOI-based approach puts  SiTime at the top of the fast-growing silicon-based timing market. SiTime, an analog semiconductor company, is revolutionizing the timing components industry with silicon MEMS timing solutions that replace legacy quartz products. SiTime offers oscillators (XO, SPXO), voltage-controlled oscillators (VCXO), temperature compensated oscillators (TCXO), and multi-PLL, multi-output clock generators. All these …

The latest white paper from SOI Consortium members is loaded with technical information. The full paper is available on the website. Here are some of the highlights. In approaching a bulk-to-FD-SOI port, different perspectives can be taken: IP Porting: The focus may be to easily port the libraries and other IP available in Bulk to …

The leading producer of SOI wafers, Soitec was named NXP’s Best Supplier for Front End Materials & Equipment. NXP was one of the first in the industry to use SOI. The relationship with Soitec dates back to 1995, when the two companies began work together on the development of the (then Philips’) breakthrough SOI-based ABCD …

Continuing it extremely successful line of SOI-MEMS based products, SiTime has introduced its SiT500x family, the industry’s first Voltage Controlled, Temperature Compensated Oscillator (VCTCXO) products with ±0.5 PPM stability. Targets are telecom, networking and wireless apps.

Thanks to strong worldwide demand for its SOI-based Oscillators, Clock Generators and Resonators, SiTime‘s cumulative shipments have topped 50 million units.

One of the key projects currently underway within the SOI Consortium is to understand and provide guidance on the advantages and obstacles of porting SoC designs from Bulk to FD-SOI. This project represents a strategic opportunity to help drive the profile of FD SOI and participate in the emergence of this important technology. Objective: Analyze …

SiTime has recently added five more products to its line-up of SOI-MEMS-based timing solutions that replace legacy quartz. With over 30 million oscillator, resonator and generator devices shipped, the company now has 85% market share.

Hitachi’s latch-up-free, SOI-based chips enable new generations of compact medical ultrasound systems. Medical challenge Ultrasound systems need to be smaller, more cost-effective, and higher performance – without compromising reliability. Design challenge Ultrasound is based on high-voltage pulses that drive transducers, which create and receive bursts of sound waves. Low-power, high-performance electronics control a complex set …

Texas Instruments’ new ADS5400 analog-to-digital-converter (ADC) combines 12 bits of resolution with a 1-GSPS sampling rate, effectively doubling the amount of signal bandwidth that can be captured in a single ADC. It enables designers to create smaller, higher-performance and higher-density wide-bandwidth receivers and digitizers. Developed on TI’s high-speed, BiCom3 SOI, it is well suited for …

Jazz Semiconductor, a foundry leader in Analog-Intensive Mixed-Signal (AIMS) solutions, includes support for SOI-based designs in its new Direct Multiproject Wafer (MPW) shuttle program, offering quick and low-cost prototyping for commercial and military/defense customers.
