These ruggedized devices are engineered to perform in extreme conditions in aerospace-defense applications such as Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT), tactical communications, network synchronization and surveillance.
The devices include the Endura ultra-stable Super-TCXO and the Endura low-jitter differential oscillator. Both families deliver 10x better environmental resilience.
In addition, the Endura Super-TCXO family delivers up to 5x better stability, while the differential oscillator family delivers the best jitter.
.SiTime’s MEMS, analogue and systems technologies enable many features that simplify design. For example, frequencies are programmable up to 6 decimal places of accuracy and ensure that the designer can select the exact frequency they want, to enhance system performance.
With a frequency stability specification as low as ±10 ppb, designers can replace unreliable, power-hungry, large OCXOs with easy-to-use Super-TCXOs.
SiTime devices are claimed to be very resistant to power supply noise, which is a common problem in the dense electrical environments of aerospace-defense electronics.
The device offers advanced specifications as below:
- 1 to 60MHz
- -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range, enables use in extreme temperatures
- ±10 ppb frequency stability over the full temperature range, highest amongst TCXOs, and able to replace more expensive, power-hungry, and less-reliable OCXOs
- Industry-leading 0.01 ppb/g g-sensitivity per MIL-PRF-55310
- 110 mW (typ.) power consumption, 2 to 10 times lower than ±10 ppb OCXOs
- ±0.5 ppb/°C dF/dT (frequency slope), resistant to thermal shock and airflow
- ±300 ppb 20-year aging at 85°C, eliminates expensive in-factory calibration that is required with less stable devices
- Small 7.0 mm x 5.0 mm ceramic package, insensitive to board bending stress, reducing board layout constraints
Endura differential oscillators enable low data error rates and uninterrupted communications for on-the-ground, mounted, dismounted and airborne conditions.
