Quartz Crystal vs. MEMS Oscillators: Which One Is Right for High-End Applications?
A.
Engineers often evaluate quartz oscillators and MEMS oscillators when selecting timing components. While MEMS offers flexibility and configurability, quartz technology continues to deliver superior performance in phase noise, jitter, temperature stability, power efficiency, and long-term reliability—making it the preferred choice for high-performance and mission-critical systems.
Why Quartz Still Leads the Industry?
With a higher Q factor, lower jitter, faster startup time, and decades of proven field reliability—including automotive-grade validation—quartz oscillators remain unmatched in demanding communication, industrial, and defense applications. Watch the video to explore the full comparison and learn why quartz remains the gold standard for timing precision.
