Description
Ordering Information:
See page 66
The Si5351 is an I2C configurable clock generator that is ideally suited for replacing
crystals, crystal oscillators, VCXOs, phase-locked loops (PL), and fanout buffers in costsensitive applications. Based on a PLL/VCXO + high resolution MultiSynth fractional
divider architecture, the Si5351 can generate any frequency up to 160 MHz on each of its
outputs with 0 ppm error. Three versions of the Si5351 are available to meet a wide
variety of applications. The Si5351A generates up to 8 free-running clocks using an
internal oscillator for replacing crystals and crystal oscillators. The Si5351B adds an
internal VCXO and provides the flexibility to replace both free-running clocks and
synchronous clocks. The Si5351B eliminates the need for higher cost, custom pullable
crystals while providing reliable operation over a wide tuning range. The Si5351C offers
the same flexibility but synchronizes to an external reference clock (CLKIN).
