About the Company

SiTime

Fabless MEMS timing solutions provider

SiTime designs MEMS-based timing solutions (oscillators, network synchronizers, and jitter cleaners) as a fabless semiconductor company. MEMS resonators on silicon replace quartz to generate precise clocks and synchronize networks, with manufacturing handled by third-party foundries. The approach offers smaller size, lower power consumption, and better temperature stability, supported by scalable, design-focused development rather than in-house fabrication. Its goal is to expand MEMS timing adoption across automotive, industrial, IoT, mobile, aerospace, and telecom markets worldwide.
