As electronics technology continues to advance at a fast pace, the limitations of crystals and crystal oscillators as a practical approach to timing are being exposed. Higher frequencies and smaller form factors are forcing designers to use expensive, power hungry, smaller SMD crystal-based clocks that also often need additional circuitry to enable them to meet the performance requirements of the system. Furthermore, the proliferation of portable electronics equipment that is typically exposed to harsh operating conditions that include shock and vibration, has exposed the susceptibility of crystal oscillators to physical damage.
While crystal oscillators have served the electronics industry well for decades, aside from a limited number of high-end applications, the reasons for designers to consider switching to ‘crystal-free’ CMOS based timing solutions are compelling.

Pam has the voice you first hear when you call, and the face you see as you enter Mel Foster. She is the glue that helps keep the company together. She performs general clerical duties, shipping and receiving administration, research, supplies, photocopying, faxing/scanning, and filing. She supports the staff in assigned project based work and sets up accommodations arrangements for company visitors. If you need something and don’t know who or where to go Pam is there to help answer those questions and help you to find the answer.
Outside of the office Pam loves being around dogs, especially her Shih Tzu – Choo-Choo, taking walks around the city lakes, Italian food, and church on a Saturday afternoon.
