Skyworks Solutions introduced a new family of ultra‑low jitter programmable clocks that combine its bulk acoustic wave (BAW) technology with DSPLL and MultiSynth timing architectures. The SKY63101/02/03 jitter‑attenuating clocks deliver 17 femtoseconds of synchronous Ethernet jitter for 224 G PAM4 SerDes, while the SKY69001/02/101 NetSync™ clocks achieve –142 dBc/Hz phase noise at a 100 kHz offset and support IEEE 1588 Class C/D synchronization.
The clocks target wireline, wireless, and data‑center applications, including 800 G/1.2 T/1.6 T optical networking and CPRI‑based 5G/6G massive‑MIMO radios. By eliminating the need for external quartz, crystal oscillators, or VCXOs, the devices reduce bill‑of‑materials count and improve system reliability—key advantages for high‑speed, high‑density deployments.
This launch expands Skyworks’ high‑margin Broad Markets portfolio and aligns with its strategic diversification plan. The integration of BAW technology into timing solutions gives Skyworks a differentiated edge, allowing it to offer high‑performance, low‑Jitter products that command premium pricing and support margin expansion in growth markets.
James Wilson, vice president and general manager, said the new clocks “represent a significant leap forward in performance, reliability and integration, and we are excited to bring these groundbreaking products to the market to support the evolving needs of 5G/6G networks, wireline and data‑center communications.”
The product launch occurs amid ongoing talks of a merger with Qorvo, a deal that could further broaden Skyworks’ product mix and market reach. While the merger details are still being negotiated, the new clocks demonstrate Skyworks’ continued investment in high‑margin, high‑growth segments that are expected to drive future revenue and margin growth.
Skyworks has a history of rapid product innovation in the timing space, having launched the SKY53510/80/40 clock fan‑out buffers in August 2025 and the SKY63104/5/6 jitter‑attenuating clocks in June 2025. The new family continues this trend, reinforcing the company’s position as a leader in analog and mixed‑signal RF technology.
The clocks’ technical specifications—17 fs jitter and –142 dBc/Hz phase noise—place them at the forefront of timing performance, positioning Skyworks to capture design wins in demanding applications where signal integrity is critical. The reduced BOM and improved reliability also translate into cost savings for customers, potentially accelerating adoption and market penetration.
Overall, the launch signals Skyworks’ commitment to expanding its Broad Markets footprint, diversifying revenue streams, and leveraging its BAW expertise to deliver differentiated, high‑margin products in the fast‑growing 5G, 6G, and data‑center ecosystems.
