Opening a $2 Billion Market in the Next Decade
and Setting a New Bar with Unmatched Performance and
Reliability
SiTime Corporation (NASDAQ: SITM), the precision timing company,
today announced the SiTime Epoch Platform™, designed to solve the
most complex timing issues in electronics and disrupt 100-year-old
quartz-based technology. The SiTime Epoch Platform is a MEMS-based,
oven-controlled oscillator (OCXO) that delivers an ultra-stable
clock to datacenter and network infrastructure equipment, unlocking
a cumulative $2 billion served addressable market (SAM) in the next
decade. Over time, Epoch technology will be extended to other
high-growth electronics markets, such as aerospace and defense,
industrial controls and more.

“The release of the Epoch Platform is a pivotal moment for
SiTime and the electronics industry,” said Rajesh Vashist, CEO and
chairman of SiTime. “For many years, customers lived with the
shortcomings of existing timing technologies because there were no
viable alternatives. They compromised on real-world performance,
reliability and power, to name just a few. SiTime’s Epoch Platform
changes the game, delivering higher performance and reliability
with lower power that was unavailable until now. These benefits are
the result of a half-decade of engineering investment and a
systems-based development approach that combines MEMS, analog,
packaging and algorithms. Epoch, along with new products introduced
since 2020, with more to come, will expand our communications and
enterprise annual SAM to $1.3 billion by 2024. We believe precision
timing will be a catalyst for innovation in all electronics and
will drive our future success.”
Precision timing is critical to network performance and
reliability. All nodes in the network must be synchronized in time.
For example, all nodes in a 5G network must always be synchronized
within hundreds of nanoseconds, which is 10X more stringent than
4G. This level of synchronization must be maintained despite
network outages. By delivering up to 2X better performance, 9X
smaller size and 3X lower power in applications such as datacenter
switches and routers, 5G base stations and core infrastructure, the
Epoch Platform sets a new bar in performance and reliability.
“As the world embraces next-gen technologies, like the explosion
of AI, the reinvention of the cloud data center, and high speed
5G/6G cellular networks, advanced circuit and network timing
solutions have become critical in ensuring performance, fault
tolerance and reliability,” said Dave Altavilla, co-founder,
president and principal analyst at HotTech Vision & Analysis.
“AI is the most disruptive, transformative technology innovation in
decades, perhaps even in the last century. The high-bandwidth,
low-latency data center infrastructure needed to support AI will
require robust precision timing for critical wired and wireless
network connectivity. Furthermore, these technologies will also be
deployed at the edge and in the field, where tough environmental
conditions will require more ruggedness and higher reliability than
ever before.”
SiTime Epoch Platform Delivers 2X Longer Holdover and Ensures
Reliable, Continuous Network Operations
A synchronized network relies on multiple, redundant timing
sources to ensure continuous operation. One of these sources is an
ultra-stable, local oscillator, typically an OCXO, which will
“holdover” the network and ensure continued operation when other
timing sources are impacted.
However, legacy quartz OCXOs are inherently unreliable and prone
to performance degradation in the presence of environmental
stressors such as temperature changes and vibration. To date,
electronics companies compromised on real-world performance,
reliability, size, power, and warm-up time to achieve the one thing
that an OCXO delivered – a stable clock reference.
With the Epoch Platform, SiTime is breaking through all these
limitations of quartz OCXOs. Epoch delivers 2X longer holdover,
even under environmental stressors, enabling telecom and cloud
service providers to deliver service continuity in real-world
conditions.
