SiTime and Micro Crystal, a division of Swatch and an European in the frequency control market, announced a strategic partnership to develop, promote, and distribute next-generation MEMS First and EpiSeal oscillator products.
Hans Rudolf Gottier, CEO of Micro Crystal, said, "We are pleased to enter this long-term partnership with SiTime. Their advanced MEMS technology, coupled with Micro Crystal’s long history of innovation in the frequency control market, will result in new products of a size, performance, and reliability that will be unmatched in the industry. These technical advantages will be enhanced by Micro Crystal’s quality service to our customers."
Kurt Petersen, CEO of SiTime Corporation, stated, "It is an honor for SiTime to partner with such a well-established and world-renowned quartz company to bring this new MEMS resonator technology to market. We look forward to this joint product development with Micro Crystal to meet the next-generation frequency control requirements of the electronics industry. As Micro Crystal is part of the Swatch group of companies, they are uniquely positioned to take full advantage of the many features of these new resonators."
SiTime has pursued a strategy of cooperation, joint development, and partnership with a very select group of market leaders in the quartz industry to expedite the roll out of MEMS Firstâ„¢ and EpiSealTM resonator technology to ensure high quality, reliability, and performance, leading to market acceptance of MEMS resonators as a mainstream, high-volume frequency control technology.
