DESCRIPTION

· The Si5338 is a high-performance, low-jitter clock generator capable of synthesizing any frequency on each of its four output drivers.

· It can replace up to four different frequency crystal oscillators or operate as a frequency translator.

· Utilizes patented MultiSynth™ technology for generating four independent clocks with 0 ppm precision.

· Programmable via I2C/SMBus-compatible serial interface, supporting 1.8, 2.5, or 3.3 V core supply.

· Comes in a compact 4 x 4 mm QFN package.

FEATURES

· Low power MultiSynth™ technology for independent, any-frequency synthesis on four differential output drivers.

· PCIe Gen 1/2/3/4 Common Clock and Gen 3 SRNS compliant.

· Highly-configurable output drivers with up to four differential outputs, eight single-ended clock outputs, or a combination.

· Low phase jitter of 0.7 ps RMS typical.

· High precision synthesis with true zero ppm frequency accuracy on all outputs.

· Flexible input reference options: external crystal, CMOS, SSTL/HSTL, and differential inputs.

· Independently configurable outputs supporting various frequencies and formats.

· Independent output voltage per driver: 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, or 3.3 V.

· Single supply core with excellent PSRR: 1.8, 2.5, 3.3 V.

· Independent frequency increment/decrement feature for glitchless frequency adjustments in 1 ppm steps.

· Independent phase adjustment on each output driver with < 20 ps steps accuracy.

· Highly configurable spread spectrum (SSC) on any output.

· External feedback mode for zero-delay mode.

· Loss of lock and loss of signal alarms.

· I2C/SMBus compatible interface.

· Easy to use programming software.

· Small size: 4 x 4 mm, 24-QFN.

· Low power: 45 mA core supply typical.

· Wide temperature range: –40 to +85 °C.
