Clock and timing by Skyworks

Skyworks offers the industry’s lowest jitter, most frequency flexible, most highly integrated clock generators. Leveraging Skyworks’ proven MultiSynth technology, a single clock generator can replace an entire clock tree of multiple oscillators, buffers, clock generators and muxes, simplifying design and accelerating time to market. Skyworks’ comprehensive clock generator portfolio offers optimized solutions for communications, data center, industrial and consumer applications.

Skyworks offers the industry’s lowest jitter, most frequency flexible and integrated jitter attenuating clock generators for wireless, wireline and data center equipment. Leveraging Skyworks’ proven DSPLL® and MultiSynth technology, a single jitter attenuating clock can synchronize to a wide range of different clocks, filter jitter and provide any combination of output frequencies, including JESD204B/C support. Skyworks offers an extensive range of jitter attenuating clocks to solve complex timing challenges in 4G/5G radio, 100G+ packet optical transport and Ethernet designs.

Skyworks offers a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance, low-jitter XOs and VCXOs. Skyworks’ new Si54x and Si56x Ultra Series™ family delivers ultra-low jitter and frequency flexibility.

Skyworks’ new Si56x Ultra Series™ family of high-performance VCXOs delivers exceptional jitter performance and tighter control-voltage linearity than competing solutions, maximizing design margin while simplifying development. All devices are highly customizable, with samples of any XO and VCXO available with 1–2 week lead times.

Skyworks offers highly integrated clocking solutions for wireless and wireline equipment, including 5G radio access networks where a single NetSync™ network synchronizer IC can simplify the overall BOM. Leveraging Skyworks’ DSPLL and MultiSynth technology, a single NetSync™ clock supports SyncE-compliant wander filtering, 1PPS/PP2S inputs and software adjustment of output frequency and phase for IEEE 1588 applications, with support for CPRI/eCPRI and JESD204B/C. These devices offer ultra-low jitter and phase-noise clocks, reducing the need for an additional jitter attenuator device.

NetSync™ clocks can be combined with Skyworks’ AccuTime™ software to provide a standards-compliant IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) solution (FTS/PTS/APTS and PTP-unaware networks). Alternatively, NetSync™ can be used with the servo portion of AccuTime™ alongside an existing PTP stack, or with third-party PTP software.

Skyworks offers a comprehensive portfolio of clock buffers. In addition to universal buffers that support signal format translation, we provide a wide range of differential and single-ended buffers that deliver ultra-low additive jitter and low skew clock distribution. Skyworks also offers low-power PCIe buffers that integrate termination components while supporting PCIe Gen 1/2/3/4/5/6 standards.

Skyworks offers a comprehensive portfolio of automotive grade timing solutions that simplify clock tree design, add redundancy, reduce system points of failure, increase reliability and optimize high-speed serial data transfer in automotive infotainment, ADAS, LiDAR/radar sensors and automated driving ECU platforms.
