Renesas Electronics Introduces Second-Generation ClockMatrix Family of Network Synchronizers and Jitter Attenuators for Optical Transmission and Cable Networks

     Renesas Electronics Group, a global semiconductor solutions provider, announced the launch of its ClockMatrix2 high-performance, multi-channel, precision clock products for 400/800Gbps optical transmission and wired networks. Building on the ClockMatrix product launched in 2019 for 5G wireless and 100/200Gbps wired networks, the second-generation product launched this time further improves performance with phase jitter as low as 88fs-rms.

     The highly integrated product provides all the functions required to deploy an IEEE1588 clocking solution with jitter attenuation capability to provide ultra-low jitter clock outputs for synchronous Ethernet PHYs at data rates up to 112Gbps PAM-4, reducing design complexity and Save bill of materials (BOM), while also allowing customers to use clock products for a variety of network applications.

     "The 5G upgrade pushes the limits of network speed and accuracy, raising the bar for clock jitter and synchronization capabilities," said Bobby Matinpour, vice president of the Clock Products Business Unit at Renesas Electronics. "The new ClockMatrix2 provides low-jitter, High accuracy and extensive synchronization capabilities.”
