This is the presentation for next Monday's live stream, where we will discuss this topic. If you have any questions regarding the following topics, or if there are specific points in the presentation that interest you, you are welcome to join the live stream to exchange ideas.
The performance requirements of clock products are highly correlated with data transmission rates. The higher the information transmission rate, the stricter the requirements for the jitter performance of clock signals. This represents the logic of industrial upgrading in the AI (Artificial Intelligence) era, the 6G era, and the commercial aerospace era.
In the "old money" sector of clock technology, foreign manufacturers have already established a monopoly, making the investment logic "domestic substitution." Conversely, in the "new money" sector of clock technology, foreign capital has already begun to deploy, with the investment logic being "industrial upgrading."
The market size is moderate, yet it involves critical choke points. It is entirely feasible for 3-5 domestic companies to grow into listed entities, and there is sufficient capacity for 5-10 M&A targets.
In terms of technical difficulty and performance requirements, the technical threshold for standard quartz oscillators and RTCs (Real-Time Clocks) is relatively low, followed by clock drivers and clock generators. MEMS all-silicon oscillators, jitter cleaners, time and frequency synchronization ICs (Integrated Circuits), and oscillator IC circuits present the highest level of difficulty.
Challenges for clock products: talent demand; technical difficulty; concentrated downstream customers; introduction period; supply chain localization.
