Introduction to Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) Resonator Technology
Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) is a resonator technology that utilizes piezoelectric conduction to achieve GHz-frequency resonance with high Q-factors, and can be directly integrated into standard plastic packages containing other ICs. Compared to conventional quartz and MEMS resonators, BAW offers numerous advantages, including the ability to enable lean manufacturing, greater design flexibility, higher frequency stability, ultra-low jitter, and enhanced reliability under harsh environmental conditions such as vibration and shock.
Technical Advantages of Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) Resonator Technology
Achieve exceptional jitter performance
By integrating BAW technology into our network synchronizer products, we achieve ultra-low jitter performance of 42 fs.
Built for reliability
BAW technology exhibits high resilience under harsh environmental conditions, such as mechanical impact and vibration; compared to quartz-based solutions, its MTBF is reduced by a factor of 100.
Improve manufacturability
Our manufacturing processes (including production, packaging, and case packaging) can mitigate supply challenges, while integrated solutions can accelerate the production of prototype samples and shorten delivery lead times.
Simplify your design
By integrating BAW into a low-power wireless MCU and a clock generator, the need for external crystals or oscillators is eliminated, thereby reducing the BOM, cost, and footprint.
