The SAM clock buffer market is expected to grow from US$ 37.69 million in 2022 to US$ 43.40 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.4% from 2022 to 2028.
Consumer electronics devices such as smartphones, laptops, wearables, tablets, and other peripheral devices widely adopt clock buffers. The increasing adoption of consumer electronics products such as smartphones and laptops in developed and developing countries is mainly attributed to rising disposable income, increasing population, and growing internet penetration. The advancement in smartphone technologies and increasing digitalization are significant factors that propel the growth of the clock buffer market. Moreover, the ongoing technological developments are increasing the penetration of these devices across several economies. Buffers are often used to distribute clocks to Analog-to-Digital Convertor (ADCs) connected in parallel to enable higher resolution. In such an application, care must ensure that the channel-to-channel skew satisfies the allowable clock variation, meeting the ADC device aperture delay specifications. When multiple buffers are used, the device-to-device skew for the selected clock distribution buffers becomes important to synchronize the timing across various ADC devices. Clock buffers are one of the most common circuits found in every electronics system. Fanout buffers and clock dividers are general-purpose clock building-block devices that can be used in many applications. They are ideal for clock and signal distribution in various systems, from personal computers to consumer electronics or industrial systems and high-performance networking and communications systems. Thus, the increasing adoption of clock buffer in consumer electronics applications for device interfacing is driving the market growth.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the SAM clock buffer market in the coming years. The market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
