Oscillator and Attenuator Families Keep Systems from the Jitters

June 10, 2025
This 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.

Mixed-Signal Devices (MSD), in Booth #361 at IMS 2025, will debut two new device families: the MS11X0 oscillators and MS15X0 jitter attenuators. Both are designed to meet the needs of complex, high-speed computing and communications systems by providing multi-gigahertz performance, femtosecond-level jitter, low phase noise, and high thermal stability. They do so without compromising programmability or power efficiency, it’s claimed.

The MS1130 1-GHz and MS1150 2-GHz oscillators deliver jitter as low as 19 fs RMS, ±20-ppm thermal stability, and programmable configuration in compact CMOS packages. The MS1130 is optimized for high-frequency applications such as 800G networking and AI compute fabrics, while the MS1150 is purpose-built to handle ultra-low jitter system clocks and timing cleanup in complex architectures.

Similarly high performance is found in the MS1500 1-GHz and MS1510 2-GHz jitter attenuators, which are built for high-speed networking and data infrastructure. In addition to very low jitter, they offer exceptional power-supply noise rejection and robust thermal resilience.

The MS1500 supports up to 1-GHz output, suited for PCIe and Ethernet clock cleanup, while the MS1510 targets coherent optics, SerDes links, and advanced AI platforms. These jitter attenuators simplify clock-tree architectures and enable cleaner signal performance across increasingly complex platforms.

David Maliniak | Executive Editor, Microwaves & RF

I am Executive Editor of Microwaves & RF, an all-digital publication that broadly covers all aspects of wireless communications. More particularly, we're keeping a close eye on technologies in the consumer-oriented 5G, 6G, IoT, M2M, and V2X markets, in which much of the wireless market's growth will occur in this decade and beyond. I work with a great team of editors to provide engineers, developers, and technical managers with interesting and useful articles and videos on a regular basis. Check out our free newsletters to see the latest content.

You can send press releases for new products for possible coverage on the website. I am also interested in receiving contributed articles for publishing on our website. Use our contributor's packet, in which you'll find an article template and lots more useful information on how to properly prepare content for us, and send to me along with a signed release form. 

About me:

In his long career in the B2B electronics-industry media, David Maliniak has held editorial roles as both generalist and specialist. As Components Editor and, later, as Editor in Chief of EE Product News, David gained breadth of experience in covering the industry at large. In serving as EDA/Test and Measurement Technology Editor at Electronic Design, he developed deep insight into those complex areas of technology. Most recently, David worked in technical marketing communications at Teledyne LeCroy, leaving to rejoin the EOEM B2B publishing world in January 2020. David earned a B.A. in journalism at New York University.
