New Si536x Product Family Delivers Ultra-High Performance 55 fs RMS for 400/800G networks

MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWKS) today launched its latest portfolio of jitter attenuators for high-speed networking, communications and data center equipment forming the backbone of today’s internet infrastructure. These new products are designed to meet the performance requirements of high-speed networks deployed to carry 5G traffic and support new applications like AI and edge computing. The new Si536x product family complements Skyworks’ current Si539x jitter attenuating clocks to suit the specific timing needs of designers and vendors.

Increasing demand for data bandwidth is driving the need for 400G/600G/800G+ Ethernet links using high-speed 56G/112G/224G PAM-4 SerDes and coherent optical technologies for internet infrastructure and data center environments. The Dell’Oro Group forecasts that these data rates currently comprise half of the total Ethernet data center, with 800G expected to dominate by 2025.1 These high-speed systems require multiple clocks at different frequencies, signaling formats and voltage levels with ultra-low jitter.

To address this need, the Si536x product family provides frequency flexibility and clock tree on-a-chip integration in a compact clock IC solution with up to 18 clock outputs featuring
