NXP Demonstrates Its New MEMS-based Frequency Synthesizer

Published:2012/1/11 0:51:00 Author:Phyllis

NXP Semiconductors’ new MEMS-based frequency synthesizer presents a compelling alternative to quartz crystal-based timing devices. NXP’s MEMS technology replaces a quartz crystal with a bare silicon die that is more than 20 times smaller than the smallest crystal available today. The MEMS die does not require any dedicated, quartz-like, ceramic or metal-can hermetic package. Instead, it can be merged with other ICs...   (View)
