Clock Multiplier Boasts 0.3 ps Jitter Performance

Emerging as an industry first, the Si53xx family of jitter-attenuating clock multipliers generate any output frequency from any input frequency with just 0.3 ps of jitter. The family hosts nine devices that address a range of applications including networking, telecom, wireless base stations, test and measurement, HDTV, and data acquisition. They can generate any output frequency from 2 kHz to 945 MHz and select frequencies to 1.4 GHz from any input frequency between 2 kHz and 710 MHz. The devices also feature an integrated loop filter with selectable bandwidths, allowing users to change loop bandwidth without altering components. Other features include a voltage-controlled oscillator, phase detector, divider, and buffers. The Si53xx family consists of four any-rate multipliers, the Si5322, Si5325, Si5365, and the Si5367, and five any-rate clock multipliers/jitter attenuators, the Si5316, Si5323, Si5326, Si5366, and Si5368. Prices range from $12.10 to $72.45 each/1,000. SILICON LABORATORIES INC., Austin, TX. (877) 444-3032.
