Innovative New Timing and Network Synchronization Products For 5G NR and O-RAN
Fronthaul Networks
 August 30, 2022 - Skyworks Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWKS) today announced
the launch of its new portfolio of network synchronization solutions, which includes
the Si551x and Si540x families of NetSync™ clock integrated circuit devices and
Skyworks'
AccuTime™ IEEE 1588 software. Each product family is engineered to meet
the requirements of mobile operators and equipment vendors for 5G fronthaul networks.
Precise and accurate time synchronization is critical to ultra-reliable network
operation and is paving the way for future enhancements, including Ultra-Reliable
Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) and Coordinated Multipoint Access (CoMP) that
empower 5G to support autonomous vehicles, factory automation, telemedicine and
other emerging applications.
"Skyworks' decades of expertise and patented timing technology enable the company
to offer best-in-class performance, integration and reliability, featuring its ultra-low
jitter DSPLL® architecture with
MultiSynth™
'any-frequency' clock synthesis," said
Mark Thompson, senior vice president and general manager of the mixed signal solutions
business at Skyworks. "This technology allows multiple clock and synchronization
functions to be combined into a single device, reducing power consumption and
printed circuit board space, while simplifying high-frequency design. Skyworks
has been collaborating with partners such as NXP Semiconductors and AMD to drive
5G solutions for both the public and private wireless network markets."
"Focused on enabling an ecosystem to support O-RAN 5G solutions that allows customers
to quickly bring products to market, NXP leverages the hardware capabilities of
its
Layerscape multicore processors and Layerscape Access programmable-based processors
for 1588 timing synchronization and combines it with ecosystem solutions like those
provided by Skyworks," said Tareq Bustami, senior vice president and general manager,
Network Edge at NXP Semiconductors. "Our collaboration with Skyworks delivers
robust ecosystem solutions that meet the stringent requirements of evolving 5G
networks."
"Skyworks Si551x and Si540x products are ideal companions to our system-on-a-chip
(SoC) solutions, including our RFSoC DFE and Versal™ platforms targeted at 5G RRU,
Beamforming fronthaul and vDU," said Mike Wissolik, director of marketing, Data
Center and Communications Group at AMD. "The AccuTime software runs on our
in-built ARM processor subsystem and utilizes on-chip IP allowing customers to
have a truly integrated synchronization solution."
Additional Product Information:
Skyworks' Si551x and Si540x timing solutions comply with all relevant telecom
standards, including ITU-T G.826x/G.827x, IEEE 1588-2008/2019 and O-RAN WG4, enabling
robust and reliable synchronization across networks. These new products are in production,
and samples and evaluation kits are available now.
Si551x: Optimized for air-interface equipment including radio units (RUs) and
integrated small cells, the Si5518 and Si5512 products combine the functions of
network synchronization, jitter attenuation and JESD204B/C clocking into a single
device. Si540x: Optimized for equipment within the fronthaul network, such as distribution
units (DUs) and fronthaul switches and gateways, the Si5401, Si5402 and Si5403 products
provide network synchronization and synchronous Ethernet/SDH clock wander filtering.
AccuTime™ IEEE 1588 Software: Designed to provide a comprehensive and flexible PTP
solution, and highly integrated with the Si551x and Si540x devices, AccuTime IEEE
1588 software supports time recovery performance to meet the requirements of real-world
fronthaul network deployments using full (FTS), partial (PTS) or assisted partial
(APTS) timing support.
