SiTime Clock Buffers

- Product Image
Reliable Signal Distribution for Precision Timing Architectures
In advanced electronic systems, precision timing doesn't stop at the oscillator. It must be cleanly and consistently distributed across multiple clock domains. SiTime’s MEMS-based clock buffers provide high fan-out, low additive jitter, and robust performance under demanding environmental and EMI conditions. Designed to work seamlessly with SiTime’s programmable oscillators and clock generators, these buffers maintain signal integrity across harsh environments while reducing design complexity. From 5G radios to industrial robotics, SiTime's buffers are the glue that holds your timing tree together.
Key Features
- Ultra-Low Additive Jitter
Ensures minimal degradation of signal quality in high-speed systems - critical for PCIe, SerDes, and high-speed networking
- Flexible Output Options
Supports both single-ended (LVCMOS) and differential (LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL) outputs
- Rugged Performance
Designed for high EMI environments, vibration-prone conditions, and wide operating temperatures - including automotive-grade options
- Pin-Compatible and Drop-In
Compatible with industry-standard footprints and ideal for quartz buffer replacement or MEMS-enhanced designs
