SiTime Corporation (NASDAQ: SITM), the precision timing company, has announced the launch of its Titan Platform™, a new family of MEMS resonators that are at least four times smaller than the smallest quartz alternatives. The introduction marks a major step for SiTime as it moves beyond oscillators and clocks to offer a complete suite of timing components, now including resonators. Titan opens up a new addressable market estimated at $400 million today, with the potential to reach $1 billion annually within the next three years, while tapping into the broader $4 billion resonator market.
According to SiTime, Titan was developed over more than a decade of innovation in MEMS design, materials science, and semiconductor process engineering. Built on the company’s sixth-generation FujiMEMS™ technology, Titan is designed to enable unprecedented levels of miniaturization and integration in small, battery-powered devices, including wearables, medical equipment, smart home solutions, and industrial IoT. Rajesh Vashist, CEO of SiTime, said the platform is years ahead of competing solutions and transformative for the electronics industry, noting that integration of resonators into SoCs, MCUs, and wireless chip packages will allow customers to deliver more value and generate additional revenue.
Titan resonators are positioned as a flexible solution, available in both PCB-mounted form for rapid adoption and as bare die for co-packaging with SoCs and MCUs. This dual approach enables manufacturers to reduce device footprints, improve power efficiency, and add new features, paving the way for more compact and advanced product designs.
The platform is aimed at edge applications where performance, reliability, and efficiency are critical. For wearables such as smartwatches, fitness trackers, smart eyewear, and glucose monitors, Titan’s ultra-small size and low power consumption can be significant advantages. Medical devices including hearing aids, implantables, and biosensors benefit from longer battery life and greater durability, while smart home and industrial IoT devices gain from improved ruggedness and energy efficiency. Industry partners are already aligning with the platform. Scott Hanson, founder and CTO of Ambiq, said Titan resonators will help deliver integrated solutions that combine ultra-low-power processing with precision timing, especially valuable in emerging edge AI applications.
SiTime highlighted several performance benefits compared with quartz technology. The Titan resonators offer a 0.46 x 0.46 mm package, up to seven times smaller in PCB area than typical 1210 quartz devices. They consume up to 50 percent less power, start up three times faster with lower startup energy, and provide up to five times better aging stability, specified for five years even at maximum temperature. The devices are also built to withstand up to 50 times more shock and vibration resilience while maintaining tight stability across a wide temperature range from –40°C to 125°C.
Production samples of the first device, the Titan SiT11100 operating at 32 MHz, are available now. Engineering samples of additional variants, including 76.8 MHz, 38.4 MHz, 48 MHz, and 40 MHz, will be available beginning December 15, 2025.
