TimeFlash Oscillator Programming Kit with 2 Socket Cards

December 23, 2016 by Microchip Technology Inc.

This article features the Microchips' TimeFlash programmer that allows users to rapidly program Microchip’s field programmable MEMS oscillator.

The TimeFlash programmer allows users to rapidly program Microchip’s field programmable MEMS oscillator to a custom frequency in seconds, minimizing design time by enabling fast prototyping and testing. Microchip’s MEMS oscillators are available in industry-standard packages that are drop-in replacements to standard crystal oscillators.

Includes socket cards in 2 different sizes: 3.2 x 2.5 mm and 2.5 x 2.0 mm. Some of the features include custom frequencies in seconds with immediate design verification, support for all Microchip MEMS oscillator package sizes, support for CMOS, LVPECL, LVDS, and HCSL output types and easy to use interface with auto software update.

The TimeFlash kit supports Microchip’s new DSC6000 family of MEMS oscillators which are the industry’s smallest MEMS MHz oscillators with the lowest power consumption over full frequency range of 2 KHz to 100MHz.

The single-output DSC6000 MEMS oscillators are excellent choices for use as clock references in small, battery-powered devices such as wearables and Internet of Things (IoT) devices in which small size, low power consumption, and long-term reliability are paramount. The TimeFlash field programming kit provides instant frequency generation by fusing the One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory in a blank DSC6000.
