ELECTRONICA, Munich, Germany, 2008-11-11 - Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEM), a worldwide preferred supplier of products for timing, signal conditioning and serial connectivity, announced the M-Series Spread Spectrum Crystal Oscillator (SSXO), offering customers both very low power and a simplified solution to meet the Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) compliance requirements for applications such as digital set-top boxes and wireless network routers. Pericom will also be exhibiting video surveillance, signal integrity and HDMI solutions at Electronica in hall A6, stand 161.
The wireless access point market is expected to grow from 72MU in 2007 to 117MU in 2012 according to an Oppenheimer Equity Research report, August, 2008. With a power supply requirement of less than 10mA (milliAmps), and advanced EMI emission reduction, the new Pericom M-Series is ideally suited for emerging growth markets such as wireless routers, portable network connectivity applications, video surveillance, and digital set-top boxes that need to control EMI resulting from memory access.
“We are very pleased with the excellent EMI control performance of Pericom’s MN family SSXO for applications in our Connect-ME network connectivity products,” said Bill Kumpf, Digi International design engineer. “The MN series’ small profile and low power enable us to simplify our small size designs.”
“Pericom’s in-house IC design expertise combined with our Frequency Control Product (FCP) expertise enable us to provide the most optimal SSXO solution that is low in power, small in size and inexpensive for cost-sensitive applications such as wireless routers and portable devices,” said Kay Annamalai, Pericom’s senior director of marketing for timing products. “In addition, we are able to quickly meet customer’s requirements with flexible IC and in-house factory for FCP.”
The M-Series SSXO is available in low profile ceramic packages (MK – 7mm x 5mm, MD -5mm x 3.2mm and MN - 3.2mm x 2.5mm), operates in the frequency range from 16MHz to 66.667MHz, and can be powered from either a 2.5V or 3.3V supply. Options include modulation control allowing either center spread with spread ratio up to +/-1.15%, or down spread with options for spread ratio up to –2.3%.

MN Series (7mmx5mm): $1.42 each in 5K qty
MD Series (5mmx3.2mm) $1.45 each in 5K qty
MK Series (3.2mmx2.5mm) $1.49 each in 5K qty.
