Note: These codes vary by product family - consult SiTime datasheets for specific mappings.
Frequency Encoding
Frequency appears as the last numeric segment before any output type suffix:
| Format | Meaning | Example |
|--------|---------|---------|
| 32.768 | 32.768 kHz | RTC applications |
| 24.000000 | 24 MHz | Standard MHz oscillator |

Component Types in Handler
The SiTimeHandler supports:
| ComponentType | Description | Pattern |
|---------------|-------------|---------|
| OSCILLATOR | Primary type | ^SIT[0-9]{4}.* |
| CRYSTAL | 32.768 kHz parts | ^SIT1[567][0-9]{2}.*-32\.768.* |
| IC | Generic IC type | ^SIT[0-9]{4}.* |
Note: 32.768 kHz MEMS oscillators can serve as drop-in replacements for quartz crystals, hence the CRYSTAL type registration for those frequencies.
Handler Implementation Notes
Series Extraction
// Series is extracted as "SiT" + first 2 digits of 4-digit family
// Example: SiT1533AI-H4-18E-32.768000X -> "SiT15"
// Example: SiT8021AC-82-33S-24.000000X -> "SiT80"
// Special case: SiT5xxx Super-TCXO series
// SiT5155 -> "SiT5" (not "SiT51")
if (upperMpn.startsWith("SIT5") && Character.isDigit(upperMpn.charAt(4))) {
return "SiT5";
}
Package Extraction
// Package code is typically the third hyphen-separated segment
// SiT1533AI-H4-18E-32.768000X
// ^^^
// Pattern: -([0-9]{2}[A-Z]|[A-Z]{2,3})-
Frequency Extraction
// Frequency is the last segment after the final hyphen
// SiT1533AI-H4-18E-32.768000X
// ^^^^^^^^^^
// Pattern: ([0-9]+(?:\.[0-9]+)?)[MKX]?$
Official Replacement Logic
Two SiTime parts can be replacements if:
- Same series (e.g., both SiT15)
- Same frequency
They may differ in:
- Temperature grade
- Package size
- Voltage configuration

Crystal Replacement Use Case
SiTime 32.768 kHz oscillators are often used as drop-in replacements for traditional quartz crystals in RTC applications:
Traditional Crystal Circuit:
[MCU] --XTAL1-- [Crystal] --XTAL2-- [MCU]
|
[Caps]
SiTime MEMS Replacement:
[MCU] --OSC_IN-- [SiT1533] --VDD-- [Power]

[GND]
Advantages of MEMS replacement:
- No external load capacitors needed
- Better shock/vibration resistance
- Faster startup time
- More consistent frequency across temperature

Learnings & Edge Cases
- SiT5 vs SiT85: Both refer to Super-TCXO family.
SiT5xxxandSiT85xxpatterns are both registered. - Frequency parsing: Frequency appears after the last hyphen, before optional output suffix (X, M, K).
- 32.768 kHz special case: These parts are registered as both OSCILLATOR and CRYSTAL types since they can replace quartz crystals.
- Package code position: The package code is in the third hyphen-separated segment, not a suffix like many other manufacturers.
- No manufacturer-specific ComponentTypes: SiTimeHandler uses generic types (OSCILLATOR, CRYSTAL, IC) rather than SiTime-specific types.
- Case insensitivity: Handler converts MPNs to uppercase before pattern matching (
SiT=SIT=sit). - Series extraction returns 2-digit: Unlike some handlers that return full part numbers, SiTime series extraction returns abbreviated form (e.g., "SiT15" not "SiT1533").
