Best Reliability
Silicon is inherently more reliable than quartz. Unlike quartz
suppliers, SiTime has in-house MEMS and analog CMOS
expertise, which allows SiTime to develop the most reliable
products. Figure 1 shows a comparison with quartz
technology.
Why is SiTime Best in Class:
• SiTime’s MEMS resonators are vacuum sealed using an
advanced EpiSeal™ process, which eliminates foreign par-
ticles and improves long term aging and reliability
• World-class MEMS and CMOS design expertise
Figure 1. Reliability Comparison[1]
Best Aging
Unlike quartz, MEMS oscillators have excellent long term
aging performance which is why every new SiTime product
specifies 10-year aging. A comparison is shown in Figure 2.
Why is SiTime Best in Class:
• SiTime’s MEMS resonators are vacuum sealed using an
advanced EpiSeal process, which eliminates foreign parti-
cles and improves long term aging and reliability
• Inherently better immunity of electrostatically driven
MEMS resonator
Figure 2. Aging Comparison[2]
Best Electro Magnetic Susceptibility (EMS)
SiTime’s oscillators in plastic packages are up to 54 times
more immune to external electromagnetic fields than quartz
oscillators as shown in Figure 3.
Why is SiTime Best in Class:
• Internal differential architecture for best common mode
noise rejection
• Electrostatically driven MEMS resonator is more immune
to EMS
Figure 3. Electro Magnetic Susceptibility (EMS)[3]
Best Power Supply Noise Rejection
SiTime’s MEMS oscillators are more resilient against noise on
the power supply. A comparison is shown in Figure 4.
Why is SiTime Best in Class:
• On-chip regulators and internal differential architecture for
common mode noise rejection
• Best analog CMOS design expertise

Best Vibration Robustness
High-vibration environments are all around us. All electronics,
from handheld devices to enterprise servers and storage
systems are subject to vibration. Figure 5 shows a comparison
of vibration robustness.
Why is SiTime Best in Class:
• The moving mass of SiTime’s MEMS resonators is up to
3000 times smaller than quartz
• Center-anchored MEMS resonator is the most robust
design
Figure 5. Vibration Robustness[5]
Best Shock Robustness
SiTime’s oscillators can withstand at least 50,000 g shock.
They all maintain their electrical performance in operation
during shock events. A comparison with quartz devices is
shown in Figure 6.
Why is SiTime Best in Class:
• The moving mass of SiTime’s MEMS resonators is up to
