IDT Announces Industry’s First High-performance Quad Frequency MEMS Oscillators with Multiple Synchronous Outputs

Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®) (NASDAQ: IDTI), the Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal semiconductor solutions, today announced the industry’s first high-performance quad frequency MEMS oscillators with multiple synchronous outputs. IDT’s latest oscillators offer configurable outputs in an industry-standard compatible package footprint, saving board area and bill-of-materials (BOM) cost in communication, networking, storage, industrial, and FPGA applications.

The IDT 4E series ±50 ppm enhanced MEMS oscillators integrate an LVDS or LVPECL output with a synchronous CMOS output into a single package, eliminating the need for an external crystal or secondary oscillator. Available in frequencies up to 600 MHz, the new oscillators save board area, simplify the application circuit, and reduce BOM cost in any high-performance application requiring an LVDS or LVPECL frequency source. Additionally, the oscillators feature two control pins to select between four factory-programmable output frequencies, allowing for the replacement of four components with a single device. This enables the customer to reduce their BOM count, consolidate their inventory, and realize cost benefits.

“Our new CrystalFree™ MEMS oscillators eliminate the need for additional quartz crystals and bring tremendous value to our customers,” said Christian Kermarrec, vice president and general manager of the timing and synchronization division at IDT. “Our new 4E series provides our customers with what they’ve been asking for – simplicity and cost savings. Not only have we met these demands, we’ve also maintained backward compatibility with their existing socket footprints to ease the transition to these new devices.”

The IDT 4E series oscillators are designed with the physical dimensions and pinout of an industry-standard six-pin CMOS, LVDS or LVPECL oscillator, but with four additional pins (10 pins total) strategically placed to maintain backward compatibility with existing six-pin sockets. This allows designers to use the oscillators in existing sockets while offering additional functionality for new designs.

System designers can choose from three different output combinations: LVDS and CMOS outputs, LVPECL and CMOS outputs, or three synchronous CMOS outputs – offering the flexibility to use the innovative devices in a myriad of applications.

Pricing and Availability

The IDT 4E MEMS oscillators are currently sampling to qualified customers and are available in a standard 7.0 x 5.0 mm VFQFPN package. Most standard frequencies are readily available. Custom frequencies can be configured by request. For more information, visit www.idt.com/go/MEMS.

The new open source cloud orchestration platform called OpenStack is the promise of flexible network virtualization, and network overlays are looking closer than ever. The vision of this platform is to enable the on-demand creation of many distinct networks on top of one underlying physical infrastructure in the cloud environment. The platform will support automated provisioning and management of large groups of virtual machines or compute resources, including extensive monitoring in the cloud.

You're getting pitched every day from your legacy enterprise software and hardware vendors about "cloud." They're doing an amazing job of convincing your CIO and CTO about what cloud is and how you should use it. The reality is they're defending their shrinking market share and keeping you on the legacy treadmill for as long as they can by selling you solutions that aren't "cloud." In her session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Niki Acosta, Cloud Evangelista for Rackspace, will talk thro...
The rise of cloud computing has exposed hard drive-based storage as the new data center bottleneck. Combating this, data center managers have deployed SSDs to gain the performance needed to provide real-time access to data.
