The Elite DualMEMS architecture allows additional dynamic performance gains that are not possible with quartz:
- Superior shock and vibration immunity due to the small size of the MEMS resonator – a MEMS resonator is typically 1/3000th the mass of a quartz resonator - Elimination of activity dips and micro jumps as the MEMS resonators are engineered without any spurious modes - Superior aging characteristics because MEMS resonators have no known aging mechanism - Better immunity to supply voltage fluctuation (VDD sensitivity) and noise due to carefully crafted internal voltage regulation chains.www.edn.com/design/analog/4442801/MEMS-oscillator-reduces-dropped-calls-in-base-stations
