Programmable Drive Strengt h
The SiT2024 includes a programmable drive strength
feature to provide a simple, flexible tool to optimize the
clock rise/fall time for specific applications. Benefits from
the programmable drive strength feature are:
Improves system radiated electromagnetic inter-
ference (EMI) by slowing down the clock rise/fall
time.
Improves the downstream clock receiver’s (RX) jitter
by decreasing (speeding up) the clock rise/fall time.
Ability to drive large capacitive loads while main-
taining full swing with sharp edge rates.
EMI Reduction by Slowing Rise/Fall Time
Figure 15 shows the harmonic power reduction as the
rise/fall times are increased (slowed down). The rise/fall
times are expressed as a ratio of the clock period. For the
ratio of 0.05, the signal is very close to a s quare wave. For
the ratio of 0.45, the rise/fall times are very close to near-
triangular waveform. These results, for example, show that
the 11th clock harmonic can be reduced by 35 dB if the
rise/fall edge is increased from 5% of the period to 45% of
the period.
Figure 15. Har monic EMI reduction as a Function
of Slower Rise/Fall Time
Jitter Reduction with Faster Rise/Fall Time
Power supply noise can be a source of jitter for the down-
stream chips et. One way to reduc e this jitter is to speed up
the rise/fall t ime of the input cloc k. Some chipsets may also
require faster ris e/f all t ime in o rder to r educe t heir sens it ivity
to this type of jitter. Refer to the Rise/Fall Time Tables
(Table 7 to Table 11) to determine the proper drive
strength.
High Output Load Capability
The rise/fall time of the input clock varies as a function of
the actual capacitive load the clock drives. At any given
drive strengt h, the rise/fal l time becomes sl ower as the out-
put load increases. As an example, for a 3.3V SiT2024 de-
vice with default drive strength setting, the typical rise/fall
time is 1 ns for 15 pF output load. The typical rise/fall time
slows down to 2.6 ns when the output load increases to 45
pF. One can choose t o speed up th e rise/f all time t o 1.83 ns
by then increasing the drive strength setting on the SiT2024.
The SiT2024 can sup port up to 60 pF in m aximum capac i-
tive loads with drive strength settings. Refer to the
Rise/Tall Time Tables (Table 7 to 11) to determine the
proper drive s trength for the desired combination of output
load vs. rise/fall time.
SiT2024 Drive Strength Selection
Tables 7 through 11 define the rise/fall time for a given
capacitive load and supply voltage.
1.
Select the table that matches the SiT2024 nominal
supply voltage (1.8V, 2.5V, 2.8V, 3.0V, 3.3V).
2.
Select the capacitive load column that matches
the applicati on r equirement (5 pF to 60 pF)
3.
Under the capacitive load c olumn, select the desired
rise/fall times.
4.
The left-most column represents the part number
code for the corresponding drive strength.
5.
Add the drive strength code to the part number
for ordering purposes.
Calculating Maximum Frequency
Based on the rise and fall time data given in Tables 7
through 11, the maximum frequency the oscillator can
operate with guaranteed full swing of the output voltage
over temperat ure can be calcu lated as:
=1
5 x Trf_20/80
Max Frequency
where Trf_20/80 is the typical value for 20%-80% rise/fall
time.
Example 1
Calculate fMAX for the following condition:
Vdd = 3.3V (Table 7)
Capacitive L oad: 30 pF
Desired Tr/f time = 1.31 ns (rise/fall time part
number code = F)

Pin 3 Configuration Options (OE or NC)
Pin 3 of the SiT2024 can be factory-programmed to sup-
port three modes: Output Enable (OE) or No Connect
(NC).
Output Enable (OE) Mode
In the OE mode, applying logic low to the OE pin only
disables the output driver and puts it in Hi-Z mode. The
core of the device continues to operate normally. Power
consumption is reduc ed due to t he inactiv ity of the output .
When the OE pin is pulled High, the output is typically
enabled in <1µs.
No Connect (NC) Mode
In the NC mo de, the device a lways operates in its normal
mode and outputs the specified frequency regardless of
the logic lev el on pin 3.
Table 12 below summarizes the key relevant parameters
in the operati on of the device in O E or NC mode.

The SiT2024 comes with gated output. Its clock output is
accurate to the rated frequency stability within the first
pulse from init ial device startup.
In addition, the SiT2024 supports “no runt” pulses and
“no glitch” o utput during st artu p or when the out put dr iver
is re-enabled f rom the OE disabl e mode as shown in th e
waveform captures in Figure 16 and Figure 17.

12. The voltage portion of the SiT2024 part number consists of two characters that denote the specific supply voltage of the device. The SiT2024 s upports either
1.8V ±10% or any voltage between 2.25V and 3.62V. In the 1.8V mode, one can simply insert 18 in the part number. In the 2.5V to 3.3V mode, two digits such
as 18, 25 or 33 can be used in the part number to reflect the desired voltage. Alternatively, “XX can be used to indicate the entire operating voltage range from
2.25V to 3.63V.

Best Reliability
Silicon is inherently more reliable than quartz. Unlike quartz
suppliers, SiTime has in-house MEMS and analog CMOS
expertise, which all o ws SiTime to dev elo p the mos t reli able
products. Figure 1 shows a comparison with quartz tech-
nology.
Why is EpiSeal™ MEMS Best in Class:
SiTime’s MEMS resonators are vacuum sealed using
an advanced EpiSeal™ process, which eliminates
foreign particles and improves long term aging and
reliability

Best Aging
Unlike quartz, MEMS oscillators have excellent long
term aging performance which is why every new SiTime
product specifies 10-year aging. A comparison is shown
in Figure 2.

Silicon MEM S Outperforms Quartz
Best Vibration Robustness
High-vibration environm ents are a ll arou nd us. All e lectro n-
ics, from handheld devices to enterprise servers and
storage systems are subject to vibration. Figure 5 shows a
comparison of vibration robustness.
Why is EpiSeal MEMS Best in Class:
The moving mass of SiTime’s MEMS resonators is
up to 3000 tim es smaller than quartz
Center-anchored MEMS resonator i s the most robus t
design

Best Shock Robustness
SiTime’s oscillators can withstand at least 50,000 g shock.
They all maintain their electrical performance in operation
during shock events. A comparison with quartz devices is
shown in Figur e 6.
