Status
The any-frequency, any-output Si5341/40 clock generators combine a wide-band PLL
with proprietary MultiSynth fractional synthesizer technology to offer a versatile and
high performance clock generator platform. This highly flexible architecture is capable
of synthesizing a wide range of integer and non-integer related frequencies up to
712.5 MHz on 10 differential clock outputs while delivering sub-100 fs rms phase jitter
performance with 0 ppm error. Each of the clock outputs can be assigned its own
format and output voltage enabling the Si5341/40 to replace multiple clock ICs and
oscillators with a single device making it a true “clock tree on a chip”.
The Si5341/40 can be quickly and easily configured using ClockBuilder Pro software.
Custom part numbers are automatically assigned using a ClockBuilder Pro for fast,
free, and easy factory pre-programming, or the Si5341/40 can be programmed in-
circuit via I2C and SPI serial interfaces.
