Skyworks launches network synchronizer chips for AI data centers
Skyworks Solutions (NASDAQ: SWKS) introduced the SKY6911x/2x family of NetSync network synchronizer devices, according to a company press release dated July 23, 2026.
The devices combine network synchronization, clock generation and the company's AccuTime software into a single integrated circuit. The chips support IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol, ITU-T compliant Synchronous Ethernet wander filtering, GNSS receiver clock outputs, and ultra-low jitter clock generation for 224G and 448G SerDes interfaces used in 800G and 1.6T networking platforms.
Skyworks said traditional timing architectures typically require separate hardware devices for synchronization and jitter attenuation, along with third-party software. The new integrated chips target AI data centers, telecommunications infrastructure and broadcast video production facilities.
"Modern network infrastructure requires precise timing and support for increasing data speeds," said James Wilson, vice president and general manager for timing at Skyworks. "Our latest NetSync devices bring these capabilities together to help customers significantly reduce system complexity, simplify product development and accelerate complex system integration."
Three BGA-based devices — the SKY69115, SKY69110 and SKY69120 — are available now. Three smaller QFN-based variants — the SKY69116, SKY69112 and SKY69122 — are expected to be available in early 2027.
