Skyworks introduces new programmable bulk acoustic wave clocks

Skyworks (SWKS) Solutions announced a new family of ultra-low jitter programmable clocks designed to meet the increasing demands of next-gen connectivity. The SKY63101/02/03 Jitter Attenuating Clocks and SKY69001/02/101 NetSync Clocks leverage Skyworks’ proven DSPLL and MultiSynth timing architecture and Skyworks’ advanced Bulk Acoustic Wave technology to deliver breakthrough performance in low-jitter timing applications. Together these new clocks redefine the benchmark for wireline, wireless, and data center timing solutions. The SKY63101/02/03 clocks provide industry-leading Synchronous Ethernet clock jitter of just 17 femtoseconds for 224G PAM4 SerDes, making them suitable for wireline and data center applications such as 800G/1.2T/1.6T optical networking and Data Center Interconnect (DCI) optical links. The SKY69001/02/101 clocks deliver best-in-class CPRI clock phase noise of -142 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset and support for IEEE 1588 Class C/D synchronization leveraging Skyworks AccuTime 1588 software, making them well-suited for wireless applications such as 5G and next-generation 6G massive MIMO radios.
