Moore’s law, the prediction that the number of transistors packed into an integrated circuit (IC) would double every two years while computing costs are halved, has had a remarkably long run. When Gordon Moore, co-founder and chairman emeritus of Intel, made this bold observation in 1965, few could have imagined that state-of-the-art microchips would one day contain a billion times more circuits. Thanks to ever-shrinking circuits, computing devices have steadily grown smaller, faster and cheaper, year after year, for more than five decades.

SiTime Corporation's XCalibur™ active resonator product category solves supply chain constraints using programmable semiconductors to deliver a drop-in replacement for quartz crystal resonators. XCalibur provides higher performance and reliability while reducing development time by up to two months in automotive, enterprise, and industrial applications. 

SiTime® Corporation introduced the SiT3901 µPower digitally controlled MEMS oscillator (DCXO) targeting power-sensitive and space-constrained mobile and IoT applications. The SiT3901 improves wireless charging speed by up to 25% while reducing the overall timing solution area by up to 90%. The MEMS oscillator is ideal for wireless charging systems for smartwatches, activity trackers, hearing aids, and wearables.

Embedded Computing Design is pleased to announce all 12 winners, across six categories, of this year's Best in Show at the embedded world trade show. The show, which is normally hosted in Nuremberg, Germany, is all-digital this year.

SiTime announced the release of the SiT5008 temperature-compensated silicon MEMS oscillator (TCXO).

SiTime announced that CellBounce, a division of ADT, has chosen the SiTime Elite Platform® Super-TCXO® for its 3G-to-4G conversion solution that is certified for use on the AT&T 4G cellular network.

5G requires more radios. Playing devil's advocate, does that mean there are many more points of failure?
