Improve Reliability and Performance in Harsh Environments with Microchip’s New Automotive MEMS Oscillators New DSA family introduces the industry’s first automotive-grade multiple-output MEMS oscillator, saving board space and system costs CHANDLER, Ariz., March 26, 2018 (#GLOBENEWSWIRE) -- Technological advancements and the increased adoption of complex electronics systems in modern vehicles require superior timing performance and reliability. Timing precision, accuracy and tolerance to #harshenvironments are essential to ensuring precise operation in today’s highly advanced automotive systems. #MicrochipTechnology Inc. (NASDAQ:MCHP) has unveiled the new DSA family of automotive-grade Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) oscillators that provide 20 times better reliability, 500 times better tolerance to shock and five times better vibration resistance than traditional #quartzbased crystal devices. The DSA family also includes the industry’s first multiple-output MEMS oscillator, offering customers a solution that can replace multiple crystals or oscillators with one device. To learn more about the new automotive-grade MEMS oscillators and #clockgenerators, visit www.microchip.com/timing/automotive. #Timingsolutions with tight frequency stability over a wide temperature range are critical for applications such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), in-vehicle Ethernet and #autonomousdriving. Available in small package sizes, Microchip’s new DSA1001, DSA11x1, DSA11x5 and DSA2311 offer the highest tolerance to #mechanicalshock, jarring and stability in harsh environments over a #frequencyrange of 2.3 MHz to 170 MHz. The devices are #AutomotiveElectronics Council Q100 (AEC-Q100) qualified with +/-20 ppm stability over temperatures ranging from -40 to +125 degrees Celsius. “Reliable, precise timing solutions are central to supporting the increasing number of electronic devices found in today’s automobiles,” said Rami Kanama, vice president of Microchip’s timing and communications group. “MEMS technology aligns with development trends in the automotive industry, and our new DSA family of MEMS oscillators and clock - (at Chandler, Arizona)
