eoSemi is a world leader in the design and development of all-silicon replacements for quartz crystals. The company’s unique, defendable Accurate Timing Oscillator Circuit (ATOC™) technology uses standard CMOS manufacturing processes to reduce the physical size and overall system cost of electronic devices.
Crystals have dominated the timing and frequency reference market for over 50 years. However, they are electro-mechanical devices with limitations in physical size and it is no longer possible to make significant reductions in manufacturing costs. New generations of electronic products – in particular the smartphone market – are demanding lower cost, improved reliability, greater stability and smaller size. These requirements have pushed quartz crystals to their physical limits.
eoSemi’s unique, all-silicon, disruptive ATOC technology meets the requirements of today’s sophisticated consumer products; and provides a roadmap for cost and power consumption well into the future.
