This new lineup introduces high-performance timing solutions designed to meet the demands of complex and high-speed computing and communications systems.
With the launch of the new MS11X0 oscillator and MS15X0 jitter attenuator families, the company is providing enhanced multi-gigahertz performance, providing femtosecond-level jitter, low phase noise, and exceptional thermal stability, without affecting either programmability or power efficiency.
Increasingly, modern electronic systems are pushing the limits of speed and performance with tighter signal margins and faster data rates. Traditional analogue-based timing solutions are struggling to keep pace with the stability and scalability required by advanced applications at a time when industry is demanding rugged, ultra-low jitter timing solutions that maintain stability under extreme thermal and voltage conditions while offering seamless programmability and integration.
Mixed Signal Devices looks to address these challenges with it new 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 look to simplify clock tree design, reduce component counts, and streamline system integration.
Mixed Signal Devices’ latest timing portfolio includes the MS1130 1 GHz and the MS1150 2 GHz oscillator, each of which has been engineered for next-generation performance.
These devices deliver femtosecond-level jitter, ±20 ppm thermal stability, and programmable configuration in compact CMOS packages. The MS1130 is optimised for high-frequency applications such as 800G networking and AI compute fabrics, while the MS1150 is purpose-built for ultra-low jitter system clocks and timing cleanup in complex architectures.
Key Features:
Up to 2 GHz Output Frequency: MS1150 supports up to 2 GHz; MS1130 supports up to 1 GHz—ideal for high-speed networking, 5G, and compute systems.
Ultra-Low Jitter (as low as 19 fs RMS): Ensures clean, stable signals for SerDes, memory interfaces, and optical transceivers.
±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.
Mixed Signal Devices has also introduced 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, suitable 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 optimised 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.
The MS1130, MS1150, MS1500 and MS1510 clocks are sampling now.
