QUICK TAKE:
Emerging as an industry first, the Si53xx family of jitter-attenuating clock
multipliers generate any output frequency from any input frequency with 0.3 ps jitter performance. (See figure) SILICON LABORATORIES INC., Austin, TX.
(877) 444-3032.
MORE INFO:
Employing the company's third-generation DSPLL technology, the family
consists of nine devices that 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 Applications include networking,
telecom, wireless base stations, test and measurement, HDTV, and
data acquisition. The devices 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. EEPN At Your Service www.eepn.com/service
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Traditional PLL designs require discrete components, creating
noise entry points between circuit elements. By eliminating
the noise entry points, the Si53xx simplifies the task of
achieving ultra-low jitter performance. Additionally, the
Si53xx family supports up to four clock inputs and five differential clock outputs, eliminating the need for external muxes
and clock distribution buffers traditionally used in complex
timing subsystems of modern communications equipment.
Silicon Laboratories invented the DSPLL approach to simplify the clock multiplication and jitter attenuation circuitry required in high-speed telecommunication applications. This technology replaces multiple discrete phase-locked-loop (PLL) components with a single IC that integrates digital signal processing (DSP) circuitry and an ultra-low jitter, voltage-controlled oscillator.
PRICE & AVAILABILITY
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, Si 5366, and Si5368. Available now,
prices range from $12.10 to $72.45 each/1,000.
