Jitter Cleaners/Network Synchronizers

Cascade Platform™ jitter cleaners and network synchronizers deliver a clock-system-on-a-chip by consolidating multiple clock ICs and oscillators into a single device for IEEE 1588, synchronized Ethernet (syncE) and high-speed SerDes. These MEMS-based clocks integrate SiTime’s third generation ApexMEMS™ resonator and eliminate the dependency on quartz, along with all quartz related issues.

This integrated MEMS approach, combined with low noise and a feature-rich PLL IC, enable more robust system timing for high reliability systems. Benefits include guaranteed jitter that is not susceptible to noise coupling associated with crystal circuitry, always-accurate frequency synthesis without crystal capacitive mismatching, 10 times more vibration resistant, always-reliable startup in harsh environments, and fast hitless switching to ensure redundancy.
