Infrastructure communication networks — including 5G mobile, utilities, cable, transportation, defense, and data centers — must acquire and maintain signals for precise timing from Global Positioning System (GPS) or other worldwide satellite constellations. These networks require redundant backup systems when Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are unavailable. Microchip Technology‘s TimeProvider 4100 Release 2.3 precision-timing grandmaster…

Renesas Electronics Corporation, a supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, is expanding its timing solutions portfolio with the ProXO+ family of compact, ultra-low noise, temperature-controlled clock oscillators. The high-accuracy, high-frequency, differential oscillators are best suited for fiber optic transceiver modules, accelerator cards, smart NIC cards, and networking equipment applications. “The ProXO+ family delivers on all counts, offering…
Microchip’s new CSAC provides precise timing accuracy and stability
Advanced military platforms, ocean-bottom survey systems, and remote-sensing applications all require precise timing for mission success. Chip-scale atomic clocks (CSACs) ensure stable and accurate timing even when Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) time signals are unavailable. Microchip Technology is helping industrial and military system designers to meet this requirement, with its new SA65 CSAC — providing precise…
