Skyworks launches ultra-low jitter clock devices for networking

IRVINE, Calif. - Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an $11 billion market cap semiconductor company with strong financial health according to InvestingPro metrics, has released new timing products designed for high-speed networking and data center applications, according to a company press release.

The new offerings include the SKY63104/5/6 family of jitter attenuating clocks and the SKY62101 ultra-low jitter clock generator, which can simultaneously generate Ethernet and PCI Express spread spectrum clocks with 18fs RMS phase jitter performance.

These devices support 224G PAM4 Ethernet SerDes while generating standards-compliant spread spectrum PCIe clocks compatible with generations 1 through 6. The products feature 12 outputs in an 8x8mm QFN package and can produce frequencies ranging from 8kHz to 3.2GHz.

James Wilson, vice president and general manager for Mixed Signal Solutions at Skyworks, stated that the company’s DSPLL and MultiSynth technologies "set a new benchmark for performance and integration."

The devices are designed to address growing bandwidth demands in network infrastructure, data centers, and industrial applications. By combining Ethernet, PCIe, and general-purpose clock generation in a single component, the products aim to simplify complex clock tree designs.

The clock generators provide output-to-output skew of ±50ps with adjustments as low as 50ps steps. They also offer hitless switching with phase transients as low as 35ps while complying with various telecommunications standards including ITU-T G.8262 Synchronous Ethernet Options 1 and 2.

The products are currently available and target applications in internet infrastructure, data centers, and industrial sectors such as medical imaging and test equipment.

In other recent news, Skyworks Solutions reported its second-quarter fiscal year 2025 earnings, surpassing expectations with revenue of $953 million and an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.24. These figures exceeded analysts’ projections, which anticipated revenue of $951.52 million and EPS of $1.20. The company also provided guidance for the third quarter, projecting revenue between $920 million and $960 million, with an adjusted EPS of $1.24. In a separate development, CFRA downgraded Skyworks Solutions from Hold to Sell, adjusting the price target to $61, citing concerns about the company’s future performance. Conversely, Stifel raised its price target for Skyworks to $72, maintaining a Hold rating, following the company’s positive earnings report.
