Innovative New Timing and Network
Synchronization Products For 5G NR and O-RAN Fronthaul
Networks
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.
