Microchip Announces Industry’s Smallest Multi-output MEMS Clock Generator

Microchip Technology announced the industry’s smallest MEMS clock generator, ideal for the development of connected devices and mobile/portable applications. This new device can replace up to three crystals and oscillators on a board, reducing timing component board space by up to 80 percent. The DSC613 clock family eliminates the need for an external crystal by integrating a low-power and high-stability Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) resonator.
