Microchip’s New Automotive MEMS Oscillators
MEMS oscillators are built entirely with standard semiconductor processes, bringing systems the same reliability and stability as integrated circuits. Crystal oscillators rely on the thickness of the crystal blank inside the oscillator, making them susceptible to vibration damage with longer lead-times and fixed frequency. This can delay product development or release times if a customer needs to make a last-minute frequency change. MEMS oscillators achieve frequency through programming, giving them flexibility to quickly support new frequencies with shorter lead times, as well as to ramp in volume to help customers meet product launch schedules.
As the industry’s first dual output MEMS oscillator, the DSA2311 can replace two crystals or oscillators on a board. The device addresses board space limits, saves costs and eases the design process, enabling customers to manage their supply and consolidate their bill of materials. The DSA2311 comes in a concise 2.5 mm x 2.0 mm package and is well-suited for applications that require a complex board with multiple controllers, such as infotainment systems and camera modules.
The DSA MEMS family of devices join Microchip’s comprehensive portfolio of automotive solutions, including microcontrollers, analog products and connectivity components, giving manufacturers the ability to consolidate suppliers for system needs. All products are backed by Microchip’s customer-driven obsolescence policy which ensures that devices will be available for as long as customers need them.
