• Ultra-low phase jitter, as low as 27 fs RMS typical  

• LVDS and LVPECL differential outputs    

• S1A and S2A series in 2.0 × 1.6 mm and 2.5 × 2.0 mm SMD packages
• Multiple supply voltage options: 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V for LVDS; 2.5 V and 3.3 V for LVPECL
• Built for AI data center, telecom, and high-performance computing applications  

Pembroke Pines, Fla. Oct. 2026 – Aker Technology USA, a global manufacturer of innovative, competitively priced frequency control products, introduces the 312.5 MHz differential oscillators series, designed to provide ultra-low jitter and stable timing for high-speed networking, optical communications, AI data centers, and high-performance computing applications.    

As network speeds advance from 400G and 800G toward 1.6T, DSPs, SerDes and PLLs require increasingly stable and low-jitter reference clocks. 312.5 MHz is becoming an important reference frequency in high-speed optical communication architectures.  Aker’s new oscillator series combines ultra-low phase jitter, compact surface-mount packaging, and reliable frequency stability to support the increasingly demanding timing requirements of next-generation high-speed systems.  

To accommodate different system architectures and board-level requirements, the new series includes the S1A and S2A series, available in 2.0 × 1.6 mm and 2.5 × 2.0 mm SMD packages, respectively with both LVDS and LVPECL output options. The S1A 2.0 × 1.6 mm LVPECL version achieves the 27 fs RMS typical phase-jitter performance, providing a compact timing solution for applications where signal integrity and board space are critical.   

Aker’s 312.5 MHz differential oscillators series is designed to address key system-level timing requirements, including:  

• Maintaining low-jitter clock performance in high-speed data paths   

• Supporting differential signaling architectures used in networking and optical systems   

• Providing compact packaging options for dense PCB layouts   

• Delivering frequency stability across demanding operating conditions   

• Enabling system-level clock control through Tri-State functionality   

• Supporting environmental and regulatory requirements with RoHS-compliant, Pb-free construction  

 Other specifications of the series include ±20 ppm stability, -40°C to +105°C operating temperature and multiple supply voltage options.

Aker’s 312.5 MHz series provides engineers with the performance, package flexibility, and differential output options needed to integrate precise timing into next-generation networking, computing, and communications systems.
