SiTime has added 0.46 x 0.46mm 0505 CSP resonators to its timing portfolio, with the Titan MEMS platform. They are based on SiTime’s sixth-generation MEMS technology, FujiMEMS and are “at least four times smaller than the smallest legacy quartz alternatives” said the company. The resonators are available either PCB-mounted for customer integration, or as bare die for co-packaging with SoCs ...
University of British Columbia researchers are aiming at long-distance entangled quantum networks with a coherent microwave-to-optical photon converter, that can theoretically be fabricated on a silicon wafer. Such a network would have fibre optic long-distance communication, possibly many km long, connecting microwave qubits. “The technology could serve as a translator for quantum computers, enabling them to talk to each other ...
Researchers demonstrate an amorphous SiC ring resonator with a Q of 1.6x105
Solar panels are generally connected in series strings, followed by a high-voltage inverter to make mains voltage. Shading of a single panel severely cuts the output of the entire series string. Inverse parallel diodes are generally...
For over 60 years, there was only one practical frequency reference for electronics: quartz crystals. True, there were atomic clocks
Panasonic and IMEC have developed a MEMS resonator with record Q-factor, presenting it the International Electron Devices Meeting in San Francisco. "MEMS resonators offer...
The first resonant tunnelling diodes to be built in amorphous carbon have been demonstrated by researchers at the University of Surrey
