Micropower, 5 ppm, 32.768 kHz TCXO with
In-System Auto-Calibration
The Smart Timing Choice
Description
SiT1568 is an ultra-small and ultra-low power 32.768 kHz
TCXO optimized for battery-powered applications. SiTime’s
silicon MEMS technology enables the first 32 kHz TCXO in the
world’s smallest footprint and chip-scale packaging (CSP).
Typical supply current is 4.5 µA under no load condition.
SiTime's MEMS oscillator consists of a MEMS resonator and
a programmable analog circuit. SiT1568 MEMS resonator is
built with SiTime’s unique MEMS First™ process. A key
manufacturing step is EpiSeal™ during which the MEMS
resonator is annealed with temperatures over 1000°C.
EpiSeal creates an extremely strong, clean, vacuum chamber
that encapsulates the MEMS resonator and ensures the best
performance and reliability. During EpiSeal, a poly silicon cap
is grown on top of the resonator cavity, which eliminates the
need for additional cap wafers or other exotic packaging. As a
result, SiTime’s MEMS resonator die can be used like any
other semiconductor die. One unique result of SiTime’s MEMS
First and EpiSeal manufacturing processes is the capability to
integrate SiTime’s MEMS die with a SOC, ASIC, micropro-
cessor or analog die within a package to eliminate external
timing components and provide a highly integrated, smaller,
cheaper solution to the customer.
In-System Auto Calibration
SiT1568 provides a unique, in-system calibration feature that
compensates for assembly-related frequency offsets for
improved overall frequency stability. The on-chip auto-
calibration function is performed one-time during the
customer's production system manufacturing process. In
order to initiate the one-time auto calibration process, refer to
the pin 1 auto-calibration description.
After assembly, follow the calibration steps as shown in the
flow chart (Figure 2). Connect pin 1 to a 10 MHz reference
(GPS disciplined or equivalent) and monitor the SiT1568 CLK
Out for status and error flags. A summary of these flags is
shown in Table 1. SiT1568 will compare its 32.768 kHz (plus
the assembly-related error) frequency to the accurate
10 MHz reference, calibrate (remove) the error and store the
calibration in its internal non-volatile memory. The result is a
calibrated 32.768 kHz output frequency with an overall stability
(accuracy) of ±5 ppm. The entire auto-calibration process
typically takes about 2 seconds.
Auto calibration is intended to be performed one time to
remove the board-related offset errors. The auto-calibration
procedure can be repeated if process fails during the initial
steps (see Table 1). The maximum number of retries is deter-
mined by the customer.
TCXO Frequency Stability
SiT1568 is factory calibrated (trimmed) over multiple temper-
ature points to guarantee extremely tight stability over temper-
ature. Unlike quartz crystals that have a classic tuning fork
parabola temperature curve with a 25°C turnover point with a
0.04 ppm/C
2
temperature coefficient, the SiT1568 temper-
ature coefficient is calibrated and corrected over temperature
with an active temperature correction circuit. The result is a
32 kHz TCXO with extremely tight frequency variation over the
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.
When measuring the output frequency of SiT1568 with a
frequency counter, it is important to make sure the counter's
gate time is >100 ms. Shorter gate times may lead to
inaccurate measurements.
Dynamic Temperature Frequency Response
Dynamic Temperature Frequency Response is the rate of
frequency change during temperature ramps. This is an
important performance metric when the oscillator is mounted
near a high power component (e.g. SoC or power
management) that may rapidly change the temperature of
surrounding components.
For moderate temperature ramp rates (< 2°C/sec), the
dynamic response is primarily determined by the steady-
state frequency vs. temperature of the device. The best
dynamic response is obtained from parts which have been
trimmed to be flat in frequency over temperature.
For high temperature ramp rates (>5°C/sec), the latency in
the temperature compensation loop contributes a larger
frequency error, which is dependent on the temperature
compensation update rate. This part achieves excellent
performance at 3Hz update rate. This device family supports
faster update rates for further reducing dynamic frequency
error at the expense of slightly increased current
