SiTime Corporation, a leader in precision timing, opened SiTimeDirect™–the industry’s first online store to ship fully-customized precision timing solutions; most ship as fast as 48 hours. The speed and flexibility, during global semiconductor shortages, eliminates delays and accelerates revenue for electronics companies. Additionally, with over 150 billion configurations available due to SiTime’s unique programmability, engineers get exactly what they want, when they want it.  

“Precision timing is the heartbeat of electronics. In a supply constrained market, hardware engineers often wait up to 20 weeks or longer to get the exact timing specifications required,” said Piyush Sevalia, executive vice president of marketing at SiTime. “With our unique programmable architecture and SiTimeDirect, engineers can configure their exact specification online, get the part shipped in 48 hours, and deliver the best system performance, on-time and reliably. SiTimeDirect provides an end-to-end e-commerce experience, where engineers can configure, compare, purchase and get immediate online or in-person support. SiTimeDirect is a key step to significantly grow SiTime’s customer base by 2025.”

SiTimeDirect enables 24 x 7 x 365 access to the full programmable architecture of SiTime devices on www.sitime.com. On the front end, a part number generator tool allows configuration of up to 10 timing specifications. For example, frequency with up to six decimal places of precision, frequency stability ranging from ±0.1 ppm to ±50 ppm, a variety of operating voltages, and output drive strength, which allows the engineer to minimize electrical interference. Once configured, a variety of shipment and payment options are available, and customized parts are shipped in as little as 48 hours. These benefits are especially useful in today’s global semiconductor shortage, where lack of component availability is forcing some electronics companies to delay projects. 

SiTimeDirect Online Store Provides Familiar E-Commerce Experience 

The SiTimeDirect online store enables electronics companies to launch their products faster, more efficiently and with higher performance. 

• Fast Shipment: With SiTime’s unique programmable architecture, custom configurations can be produced from blank parts in quantities from one to 5,000 units and shipped in as little as two working days. This is a faster shipment service than is available from any distributor or other sales outlet. 
• Rapid Configuration: For any programmable SiTime product, customers can configure up to 10 parameters, including frequency, stability, output drive, output pin configuration and operating voltage. Most configurations are complete in around two minutes using the Part Number Generator.
• Live Support: Place an order directly on SiTime.com through the new order page, where a live chat service guides customers to the right solution. For larger orders, customers can connect with a SiTime expert directly by going to SiTime.com.
