In summary, designing with MEMS oscillators offers many benefits relative to quartz resonators. This list includes “Plug ‘n Play” solutions and guaranteed startup, which helps to make the designer’s life easier, as well as increasing quality and reliability. Short lead-times and potentially reduced qualification efforts help to make the procurement engineer’s life easier as well. BOM costs are reduced by replacing multiple resonators with one oscillator, and finally, increased robustness with much lower sensitivity to vibration and electromagnetic energy.
