New timing portfolio delivers sub-20 fs jitter, 2 GHz performance, and rugged thermal stability, replacing analog limitations with scalable CMOS precision for AI, 5G, and aerospace systems

IRVINE, Calif., June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mixed-Signal Devices, a leader in multi-gigahertz timing solutions, today announced its next-generation clock and timing portfolio. This new lineup introduces high-performance timing solutions designed to meet the demands of today's most complex and high-speed computing and communications systems. With the launch of new MS11X0 oscillator and MS15X0 jitter attenuator families, the company sets a new industry standard for multi-gigahertz performance, providing femtosecond-level jitter, low phase noise, and exceptional thermal stability, without compromising programmability or power efficiency.

Mixed-Signal Devices, We’re redefining what timing can do.

Modern electronic systems, particularly those driving AI data centers, 5G base stations, and next-generation radar, push the limits of speed and performance with tighter signal margins and faster data rates. Traditional analog-based timing solutions struggle to keep pace with the stability and scalability required by advanced applications. The industry now demands rugged, ultra-low jitter timing solutions that maintain stability under extreme thermal and voltage conditions while offering seamless programmability and integration.

"Precision timing has become essential for systems operating at the forefront of speed and complexity," said Avi Madisetti, CEO of Mixed-Signal Devices. "Our latest portfolio is designed to provide engineers with the performance headroom they need—whether they're scaling GPU fabrics, synchronizing radio units, or enabling real-time autonomy."

Mixed-Signal Devices addresses these challenges with a breakthrough timing platform built on 28 nm CMOS technology and its patented Virtual Crystal™ architecture. Featuring integration-ready footprints and a range of factory-configurable outputs, these solutions simplify clock tree design, reduce component counts, and streamline system integration.

  • ±20 ppm Thermal Stability (–40°C to +105°C): Delivers reliable performance across harsh environmental conditions.
  • Compact CMOS Packages (as small as 2.5 mm × 2.0 mm): Enables easy integration into space-constrained and power-sensitive platforms.
  • Programmable Output Configuration: Supports factory-programmed frequency, voltage, and output format for flexible design integration.

MS1500 & MS1510 Ultra-High Performance Jitter Attenuators (JA)
Mixed-Signal Devices introduces the MS1500 1 GHz and MS1510 2 GHz jitter attenuators—precision timing solutions built for high-speed networking and data infrastructure. These devices offer femtosecond-level jitter, exceptional power supply noise rejection, and robust thermal resilience. The MS1500 supports up to 1 GHz output, ideal for PCIe and Ethernet clock cleanup, while the MS1510 pushes performance to 2 GHz, targeting coherent optics, SerDes links, and advanced AI platforms. These jitter attenuators simplify clock tree architectures and enable cleaner signal performance across increasingly complex platforms.

Key Features:

  • Frequency Flexibility: MS1500: Up to 1 GHz output, MS1510: Up to 2 GHz output.
  • Ultra-Low Jitter Performance: MS1500: 35 fs RMS; MS1510: 25 fs RMS (12 kHz–20 MHz).
  • Programmable Timing Engine: Factory-configured NVM and adaptive DSP ensure precision across voltage and temperature variations.
  • Small Footprint: Compact 3.2 mm × 2.5 mm LGA package simplifies layout in dense PCBs.
  • Robust Environmental Resilience: Operates from -40°C to +105°C with superior power-supply noise rejection.
  • Flexible Output Formats: Supports LVDS, CML, LVPECL, and HCSL.
  • Low Power Operation: Single 1.8V supply with internal regulation.

Mixed-Signal Devices' new timing solutions are optimized for high-performance use cases including GPU fabrics in AI servers, 5G fronthaul and midhaul synchronization, precision radar systems, and high-speed SerDes interfaces. With ultra-low jitter and robust thermal stability, these devices deliver synchronization and reliability at scale.
