Description
The Si5324 is a low-bandwidth, jitter-attenuating, precision clock multiplier
for applications requiring sub 1 ps jitter performance with loop bandwidths
between 4 Hz and 525 Hz. The Si5324 accepts two input clocks ranging
from 2 kHz to 710 MHz and generates two output clocks ranging from 2 kHz
to 945 MHz and select frequencies to 1.4 GHz. The two outputs are divided
down separately from a common source. The Si5324 can also use its
external reference as a clock source for frequency synthesis. The device
provides virtually any frequency translation combination across this
operating range. The Si5324 input clock frequency and clock multiplication
ratio are programmable via an I2C or SPI interface. The Si5324 is based on
Silicon Laboratories' 3rd-generation DSPLL® technology, which provides
any-frequency synthesis and jitter attenuation in a highly integrated PLL
solution that eliminates the need for external VCXO and filter components.
The DSPLL loop bandwidth is digitally programmable, providing jitter
performance optimization at the application level. The Si5324 is ideal for
providing clock multiplication and jitter attenuation in high performance
timing applications.

2 kHz to 945 MHz and select
frequencies to 1.4 GHz from an
input frequency of 2 kHz to
710 MHz

3. Functional Description
Figure 5. Si5324 Functional Block Diagram
The Si5324 is a low loop bandwidth, jitter-attenuating
clock multiplier for high performance applications. The
Si5324 accepts two input clocks ranging from 2 kHz to
710 MHz and generates two output clocks ranging from
2 kHz to 945 MHz and select frequencies to 1.4 GHz.
The Si5324 can also use its external reference as a
clock source for frequency synthesis. The device
provides virtually any frequency translation combination
across this operating range. Independent dividers are
available for each input clock and output clock, so the
Si5324 can accept input clocks at different frequencies
and it can generate output clocks at different
frequencies. The Si5324 input clock frequency and
clock multiplication ratio are programmable through an
I2C or SPI interface. Silicon Laboratories offers a PC-
based software utility, DSPLLsim, that can be used to
determine the optimum PLL divider settings for a given
input frequency/clock multiplication ratio combination
that minimizes phase noise and power consumption.
This utility can be downloaded from
http://www.silabs.com/timing.
The Si5324 is based on Silicon Laboratories' 3rd-
generation DSPLL® technology, which provides any-
frequency synthesis and jitter attenuation in a highly
integrated PLL solution that eliminates the need for
external VCXO and loop filter components. The Si5324
PLL loop bandwidth is digitally programmable and
supports a range from 4 Hz to 525 Hz. A fast lock
feature is available to reduce lock times inherent with
low loop bandwidth PLLs. The DSPLLsim software
utility can be used to calculate valid loop bandwidth
settings for a given input clock frequency/clock
multiplication ratio.
The Si5324 supports hitless switching between the two
synchronous input clocks in compliance with Telcordia
GR-253-CORE that greatly minimizes the propagation
of phase transients to the clock outputs during an input
clock transition (maximum 200 ps phase change).
Manual and automatic revertive and non-revertive input
clock switching options are available. The Si5324
monitors both input clocks for loss-of-signal (LOS) and
provides a LOS alarm when it detects missing pulses on
either input clock. The device monitors the lock status of
the PLL. The lock detect algorithm works by
continuously monitoring the phase of the input clock in
relation to the phase of the feedback clock. Due to the
low loop bandwidth of the part, the LOL indicator clears
before the loop fully settles (see “AN803: Lock and Settling
Time Considerations for Si5324/27/69/74 Any-Frequency
Jitter Attenuating Clock ICs” for additional details).
The Si5324 also monitors frequency offset alarms
(FOS), which indicate if an input clock is within a
specified frequency ppm accuracy relative to the
frequency of an XA/XB reference clock. Both Stratum
3/3E and SONET Minimum Clock (SMC) FOS
thresholds are supported.
The Si5324 provides a digital hold capability that allows
the device to continue generation of a stable output
clock when the selected input reference is lost. During
digital hold, the DSPLL generates an output frequency
based on a historical average frequency that existed a
fixed amount of time before the error event occurred,
eliminating the effects of phase and frequency
transients that may occur immediately preceding digital
hold.

The Si5324 has two differential clock outputs. The
signal format of each clock output is independently
programmable to support LVPECL, LVDS, CML, or
CMOS loads. When configured for CMOS, four clock
outputs are available. If not required, the second clock
output can be powered down to minimize power
consumption. In addition, the phase of one output clock
may be adjusted in relation to the phase of the other
output clock. The resolution varies from 800 ps to 2.2 ns
depending on the PLL divider settings. The DSPLLsim
software utility determines the phase offset resolution
for a given combination of input clock and multiplication
ratio. For system-level debugging, a bypass mode is
available which drives the output clock directly from the
input clock, bypassing the internal DSPLL. The device is
powered by a single 1.8, 2.5, or 3.3 V supply with best-
in-class PSNR.
3.1. External Reference
An external, high quality 38.88 MHz clock or a low-cost
114.285 MHz 3rd overtone crystal or external reference
is used as part of a fixed-frequency oscillator within the
DSPLL. This external reference is required for the
device to perform jitter attenuation. Specific
recommendations can be found in the Family Reference
Manual.
In digital hold, the DSPLL remains locked and tracks the
external reference. Note that crystals can have
temperature sensitivities.
Due to the low bandwidth capabilities of this part, any
low-frequency wander or instability on the external
reference will transfer to the output clocks. To address
this issue, a stable external reference, TXCO, OCXO, or
thermally-isolated crystal is recommended.
For example, with a 20 ppm oscillator as the reference
on the XA/XB pins, temperature changes cause the
oscillator to change frequency slightly. Although the
Si5324 is locked to its input on CLKIN, it also uses the
XA/XB as a reference.
If there is a need to use a reference oscillator instead of
a crystal, Silicon Labs does not recommend using
MEMS based oscillators. Instead, Silicon Labs
recommends the Si530EB121M109DG, which is a very
low-jitter/wander, LVPECL, 2.5 V crystal oscillator. The
very low loop BW of the Si5324 means that it can be
susceptible to XAXB reference sources that have high
wander. Experience has shown that in spite of having
low jitter, some MEMs oscillators have high wander, and
these devices should be avoided. Contact Silicon Labs
for details.
3.2. Additional Documentation
Consult the Silicon Laboratories Any-Frequency
Precision Clock Family Reference Manual (FRM) for
detailed information about the Si5324. Additional design
support is available from Silicon Laboratories through
your distributor.
Silicon Laboratories offers a PC-based software utility
called DSPLLsim to simplify device configuration,
including frequency planning and loop bandwidth
selection. The FRM and this utility can be downloaded
from http://www.silabs.com/timing (see “AN803: Lock and
Settling Time Considerations for Si5324/27/69/74 Any-
Frequency Jitter Attenuating Clock ICs” for additional details).

5.1. ICAL
The device's registers must be configured for the intended applications. After the part is configured, the part must
perform a calibration procedure when there is a stable clock on the selected CLKINn input. The calibration process
is triggered by writing a "1" to bit D6 in register 136. See the Family Reference Manual for details. In addition, after
a successful calibration operation, changing any of the Registers indicated in Table 12 requires that a calibration be
performed again by the same procedure (writing a "1" to bit D6 in register 136).

1RST ILVCMOSExternal Reset.
Active low input that performs external hardware reset of device.
Resets all internal logic to a known state and forces the device reg-
isters to their default value. Clock outputs are disabled during reset.
The part must be programmed after a reset or power-on to get a
clock output. See Family Reference Manual for details.

NC No Connection.
Leave floating. Make no external connections to this pin for normal
operation.
3 INT_C1B O LVCMOS Interru pt/CKIN1 Invalid Indicator.
This pin functions as a device interrupt output or an alarm output for
CKIN1. If used as an interrupt output, INT_PIN must be set to 1. The
pin functions as a maskable interrupt output with active polarity con-
trolled by the INT_POL register bit.
If used as an alarm output, the pin functions as a LOS (and option-
ally FOS) alarm indicator for CKIN1. Set CK1_BAD_PIN = 1 and
INT_PIN =0.
0 = CKIN1 present.
1 = LOS (FOS) on CKIN1.
The active polarity is controlled by CK_BAD_POL. If no function is
selected, the pin tristates.
Note: Internal register names are indicated by underlined italics, e.g., INT_PIN. See Si5324 Register Map.

LOL_PIN register bit is set to 1.
0 = PLL locked.
1 = PLL unlocked.
If LOL_PIN = 0, this pin will tristate. Active polarity is controlled by
the LOL_POL bit. The PLL lock status will always be reflected in the
LOL_INT read only register bit (see AN803: Lock and Settling Time
Considerations for Si5324/27/69/74 Any-Frequency Jitter Attenuating Clock

21 CS_CA I/O LVCMOS Input Clock Select/Active Clock Indicator.
Input: In manual clock selection mode, this pin functions as the
manual input clock selector if the CKSEL_PIN is set to 1.
0 = Select CKIN1.
1 = Select CKIN2.
If CKSEL_PIN = 0, the CKSEL_REG register bit controls this func-
tion and this input tristates. If configured for input, must be tied high
or low.
Output: In automatic clock selection mode, this pin indicates which
of the two input clocks is currently the active clock. If alarms exist on
both clocks, CK_ACTV will indicate the last active clock that was
used before entering the digital hold state. The CK_ACTV_PIN reg-
ister bit must be set to 1 to reflect the active clock status to the
CK_ACTV output pin.
0 = CKIN1 active input clock.
1 = CKIN2 active input clock.
If CK_ACTV_PIN = 0, this pin will tristate. The CK_ACTV status will
always be reflected in the CK_ACTV_REG read only register bit.
