CrystalFree Piezo MEMS (pMEMS) Technology Overview
Leading Edge- Demonstrated world’s first commercially available oscillators incorporating piezoelectric MEMS (pMEMS™) resonators - Addresses $3 Billion Quartz Crystal and Oscillator Replacement Market - Development ongoing at IDT since 2007 in an internal startup. Over 40 patents have been issued/pending. | The Technology- Combines the advantages of piezoelectric quartz with the advantages and reliability of silicon MEMS resonators - IDT’s pMEMS resonator technology combines the strong electromechanical coupling of the piezoelectric material with the stability and low damping of single crystal silicon to create a passive frequency source of unparalleled performance and reliability. - IDT’s pMEMS resonators are the world’s smallest hermetically-sealed wafer level package (WLP) resonators. | Timing ApplicationsConsumer: Multi-PLL and multi-output timing solutions with integrated pMEMS references Communications: Low phase jitter and high native frequencies timing solutions with integrated pMEMS references Cloud Computing: Timing solutions resistant to shock and vibration with integrated pMEMS references |
