MEMS and Crystal Oscillators - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

MEMS oscillators and crystal oscillators both play a key role in providing stable clock signals in electronic devices, but they differ in many aspects.

From the working principle, the crystal oscillator is based on the piezoelectric effect of quartz crystal. When an electric field is applied, the quartz crystal generates mechanical vibrations, which in turn generate an electric field, and this process repeatedly forms a stable oscillation frequency. MEMS oscillators use micro-electromechanical system technology to create tiny mechanical resonant structures on silicon-based chips, and achieve oscillation through integrated circuit control. In essence, they are also based on the principle of mechanical vibration, but the manufacturing process and physical structure are very different from traditional crystal oscillators.

In terms of performance, crystal oscillators usually have extremely high frequency stability. In some high-precision application scenarios, such as communication base stations, satellite navigation systems, etc., they can provide extremely accurate frequency signals with a frequency accuracy of one millionth or even higher. However, the startup time of crystal oscillators is relatively long, generally in the millisecond level. MEMS oscillators are known for their small size, low power consumption, strong impact resistance, fast startup speed, and can reach a stable state within microseconds, which can meet the needs of equipment that requires fast startup. However, the frequency stability of MEMS oscillators is generally not as good as that of crystal oscillators, but their performance is also constantly improving.

In the application field, crystal oscillators are widely used in fields with strict frequency accuracy requirements, such as high-end communication equipment, aerospace electronic systems, etc., due to their high precision and stability. MEMS oscillators have made great achievements in the field of consumer electronics due to their small size, low cost, and fast startup. They can be seen in devices such as smartphones, smart watches, and wireless headphones. At the same time, they are also widely used in IoT devices due to their low power consumption and miniaturization advantages.

With the continuous development of technology, MEMS oscillators are expected to make greater breakthroughs in frequency stability and narrow the performance gap with crystal oscillators, thereby further expanding their application scope and gaining a share in more fields originally dominated by crystal oscillators; and crystal oscillators will also continue to optimize other performances on the basis of maintaining their high precision advantages to adapt to different application requirements.
