Increase in Demand for Quartz Crystals and Crystal Oscillators Globally to Bolster the Growth of the Market

Published: Oct 2023

The global timing devices market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 10.6% during the forecast period (2023-2030). Timer devices are used on a large scale in the consumer electronics sector for portable and wearable electronics as it has low power consumption, high degree of stability, and accuracy.  The growing miniaturization of crystal resonators is the main factor for driving the timing devices market growth. Rapid advances in mems technology and increasing adoption of wearable technology result in high demand in the market. The majority of frequency control and timing products in the market are based on resonators, such as quartz crystals and ceramics. Growth in CMOS resonators is a breakthrough technology that could replace ceramic and SAW resonator-based frequency-controlled circuits operating at 500 MHz and above they offer significant advantages in total manufacturing capacity and lower cost.

Crystal oscillators are crucial in timing devices by giving clock signals an accurate and steady reference frequency. For instance, in September 2020, Silicon Labs launched a new family of small form-factor, high-performance crystal oscillators (XOs) and voltage-controlled crystal oscillators (VCXOs) for applications that require low jitter and frequency-flexible clock synthesis. These new products are available with single, dual, quad and I2C-programmable frequency options in an industry-standard 2.5x3.2mm package footprint, making them ideal for space-constrained designs that require a mix of different frequencies.

Active resonators provide 10x better reliability than quartz, making them ideal for automotive and industrial applications that demand robustness and long life in harsh environments. For instance, in February 2022, SiTime Corp., in MEMS timing, launched the SiTime® XCalibur™ active resonator. This innovative new product category solves supply chain constraints using programmable semiconductors to deliver a drop-in replacement for quartz crystal resonators. Additionally, XCalibur provides higher performance and reliability while reducing development time by up to two months in automotive, enterprise, and industrial applications.

Jitter Attenuator is used to reduce the magnitude of noise (jitter) on a given timing signal. Jitter can be described as the undesired deviation from an ideal periodic timing signal. For instance, in March 2021, Renesas Electronics Corp., a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, expanded its communication timing portfolio with three new low-phase noise, high-frequency RF timing solutions for 4G and 5G radio, and the new 8V19N850 radio synchronizer and 8V19N880, 8V19N882 JESD204B/C clock jitter attenuators deliver ITU-T compliant network clock synchronization, best-in-class phase noise, and high clock frequency.
