Lecture description

As our IoT devices, mobile apps, computers, and networks generate more data than ever, technology advancement hinges on capturing, transferring, and processing this avalanche of data more accurately. This requires precise, reliable timing and synchronization, among board-level components and subsystems, and across network nodes. Precision timing is crucial in demanding applications like 5G networks and datacenter interconnects, requiring high accuracy beyond what conventional quartz timing can provide today. As the world increasingly revolves around data, the need for resilient precision timing technology becomes more critical each year. Propelled by the demand for high-speed, time-sensitive networks, the evolution of precision timing is now anchored by providing better dynamic performance under harsh environmental conditions, such as temperature, shock and vibration, in a smaller form factor.
