Product Overview
Discera products offer a wide range of oscillators utilizing our proprietary PureSilicon ResonatorTM technology. The MEMS resonator-based oscillators provide excellent performance and uniquely address the size, power, and cost requirements of electronics systems of all types. Discera components are fabricated using a CMOS compatible manufacturing process combined with a proprietary packaging and chip finishing technology to deliver the industry's smallest packaged resonator-based frequency control components

Small Packaging - Discera's PureSilicon ResonatorTM technology produces a resonator which is magnitudes smaller, more stable, and power effective than a quartz crystal. The significant size advantage (about half the size of a bonding pad!), coupled with the low-cost CMOS manufacturing techniques, allow the unique ability to continue reducing the package size without adding manufacturing cost. Larger, custom-cut quartz crystals are reaching their limits of package size reduction based simply on physical size constraints. Current package sizes include 5.0x3.2mm, 3.2x2.5mm, and 2.5x2.0mm.
Lowest Power - The significant power savings of the Discera product make it extremely attractive to all hand-held devices and any system design looking to reduce power consumption. At 1uA Standby current, the Discera product rivals any other competitor on the market.
Excellent Shock and Vibration Resistance - Another advantage of the MEMS resonator is its incredible resistance to shock and vibration over the quartz crystal counterparts. Recent tests have shown the oscillator will survive 30,000g of shock.
Programmability - Discera parts are available in a programmable configuration as well. To assist in the design stage, we have introduced our low-cost DragonFly Programming Kit which comes complete with all hardware and software needed to instantly program parts in the field or lab. This hand-held device is available with 50 blank parts of your choice for under $300. |
