TechTechPotato | This Silicon Wafer has 100,000 Chips On It: Interview @TechTechPotato | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I'm a fan of chips, big or small, but these are some of the tiniest. What I'm holding is a wafer from SiTime, the market leader in MEMS timing. MEMS is the silicon replacement for quartz crystals, offering programmability, stability, better environmental characteristics, and immense configurability. CEO Rajesh Vashist takes me through the SiTime business offering and why we need to look at solutions other than quartz for a deeper silicon integration in our systems.
[00:00] The Siliconization of TIming
[02:07] Q1: What is your background in?
[03:29] Q2: What bought you to the timing industry?
[05:07] Q3: Do you expect your current growth to sustain?
[05:48] Q4: What does high performance mean in timing?
[07:17] Q5: Has the quartz industry ever seen these growth rates?
[11:07] Q6: What has the road been like to get customers to use SiTime?
[13:30] Q7: With the success of SiTime do you expect to see competitors soon?
[15:26] Q8: Does this make you more likely to be acquired?
[16:41] Q9: What's the difference between resonators, oscillators and clocks?
[23:27] Q10: How has the pickup been from the AI players?
[25:36] Q11: What does R&D look like for SiTime?
[30:47] Q12: Is the growth in networking?
[32:56] Q13: What's the strangest product you've been used in?
[34:23] Q14: What do you want the viewers to know about SiTime?
