In our latest episode of Lexicon, we sat down with Piyush Sevalia, Executive Vice President of Marketing at SiTime, to discuss how they are transforming the $10 billion timing industry, replacing traditional quartz-based solutions with innovative MEMS timing technology.
“All modern electronics need timing as a reference signal. Timing is considered the heartbeat of electronics. If the timing signal isn’t there, electronics won’t work,” Piyush told IE. From processors running at gigahertz speeds to GPS signals keeping navigation systems accurate, timing is the invisible force that enables devices to operate correctly.
For the past 70-80 years quartz crystals have been the standard for generating these timing signals. But, he added, quartz-based solutions have limitations in durability, precision, and adaptability to harsh environments.
To this end, SiTime has taken a radically different approach by introducing MEMS-based timing solutions engineered for the new era of connected, intelligent, and high-speed electronics.
