Texas Instruments Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) Technology
Texas Instruments Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) Technology is designed to implement stable, secure, and high-performance communications infrastructure and connectivity. BAW is a micro-resonator technology that directly integrates high-precision and ultra-low jitter clocks into packages containing other circuits. A crystal-less package over networks delivers a cleaner wired and wireless signal. There are more design options and flexibility in a broader range of applications and environments with a simplified design integrated on a single chip.
The LMK05318 is a TI BAW-based network synchronizer, which can be combined with quartz crystals to remove digital noise or jitter from input signals in the communication sub-system of wired or wireless infrastructure hardware in data center core networks. Digital noise elimination benefits telecom systems such as 5G networks.
The TI BAW-based oscillator features reliable, high-accuracy timing and wakes up 100 times faster than quartz crystals. BAW Technology can be used to improve network performance and increase immunity to vibration and shock in a wide range of applications. TI BAW resonator technology enables high-performance, highly accurate resonators, eliminating the need for external quartz crystals without compromising power, latency, or frequency stability when integrated into the MCU package.
