SiTime

SiTime designs and manufactures silicon-based MEMS timing solutions that replace legacy quartz timing technology. The company builds tiny, reliable timing chips - oscillators and timing devices - fabricated on standard semiconductor processes and packaged in high-volume flows, a route it says delivers better performance and availability than traditional timing solutions. It has shipped billions of units.

Its devices are used where timing failure is not an option: satellites and other aerospace systems, automotive and autonomous vehicles, data centres and AI data centres, 5G networks, and medical devices. The engineering problems are demanding ones - precision, reliability, and packaging at scale - and the company frames its mission as ensuring that timing is not the bottleneck in a customer's system.

SiTime describes itself as a team of engineers, designers, and problem-solvers with a focus on precision and reliability and a particular appetite for difficult timing challenges. The company operates globally.
