Si5348 Rev D Data Sheet
Network Synchronizer for SyncE/ 1588 PTP Telecom Boundary
(T-BC) and Slave (T-SC) Clocks
The Si5348 combines the industry’s smallest footprint and lowest power network syn-
chronizer clock with unmatched frequency synthesis flexibility and ultra-low jitter. The
Si5348 is ideally suited for wireless backhaul, IP radio, small and macro cell wireless
communications systems, and data center switches requiring both traditional and packet
based network synchronization.
The three independent DSPLLs
™
are individually configurable as a SyncE PLL, IEEE
1588 DCO or a general-purpose PLL for processor/FPGA clocking. The Si5348 can also
be used in legacy SETS systems needing Stratum 3/3E compliance. The optional digital-
ly controlled oscillator (DCO) mode provides precise timing adjustment to 1 ppt for 1588
(PTP) clock steering applications. The unique design of the Si5348 allows the TCXO/
OCXO reference input to determine the device’s frequency accuracy and stability. The
Si5348 is programmable via a serial interface with in-circuit programmable non-volatile
memory so it always powers up into a known configuration. Programming the Si5348 is
easy with
ClockBuilder Pro
™
software. Factory pre-programmed devices are also availa-
ble.

Functional Description
3. Functional Description
The Si5348 offers three DSPLLs that have identical performance and flexibility which can be independently configured and controlled
through the serial interface. Each of the DSPLLs support locked, free-run, and holdover modes of operation with an optional DCO mode
for IEEE 1588 applications. The device requires an external crystal and an external reference (TCXO or OCXO) to operate. The refer-
ence input (REF/REFb) determines the frequency accuracy and stability while in free-run and holdover modes. The external crystal
completes the internal oscillator circuit (OSC) which is used by the DSPLL for intrinsic jitter performance. There are three main inputs
(IN0 - IN2) for synchronizing the DSPLLs. Input selection can be manual or automatically controlled using an internal state machine.
Two additional manually selected inputs are available to DSPLL D. Any of the output clocks (OUT0 to OUT6) can be configured to any
of the DSPLLs using a flexible crosspoint connection. Output 6 is the only output that can be configured for a 1 Hz output to support 1
PPS.
3.1 Standards Compliance
Each of the DSPLLs meet the requirements of ITU-T G.8262 (SyncE), G.812, G.813, G.8273.2 (T-BC), in addition to Telcordia
GR-1244 and GR-253 as shown in the compliance report. The DCO feature enables IEEE1588 (PTP) implementations in addition to
hybrid SyncE + IEEE1588 (T-BC).
3.2 Frequency Configuration
The frequency configuration for each of the DSPLLs is programmable through the serial interface and can also be stored in non-volatile
memory. The combination of fractional input dividers (Pn/Pd), fractional frequency multiplication (Mn/Md), and integer output division
(Rn) allows each of the DSPLLs to lock to any input frequency and generate virtually any output frequency. All divider values for a
specific frequency plan are easily determined using the ClockBuilder Pro utility.
3.3 DSPLL Loop Bandwidth
The DSPLL loop bandwidth determines the amount of input clock jitter and wander attenuation. Register configurable DSPLL loop
bandwidth settings of 1 mHz to 4 kHz are available for selection for each of the DSPLLs. Since the loop bandwidth is controlled digitally,
each of the DSPLLs will always remain stable with less than 0.1 dB of peaking regardless of the loop bandwidth selection.

3.3.1 Fastlock Feature
Selecting a low DSPLL loop bandwidth (e.g. 0.1 Hz) will generally lengthen the lock acquisition time. The fastlock feature allows setting
a temporary Fastlock Loop Bandwidth that is used during the lock acquisition process. Higher fastlock loop bandwidth settings will ena-
ble the DSPLLs to lock faster. Fastlock Loop Bandwidth settings in the range of 100 Hz to 4 kHz are available for selection. Once lock
acquisition has completed, the DSPLL’s loop bandwidth will automatically revert to the DSPLL Loop Bandwidth setting. The fastlock
feature can be enabled or disabled independently for each of the DSPLLs.
3.4 Modes of Operation
Once initialization is complete, each of the DSPLLs operates independently in one of four modes: Free-run Mode, Lock Acquisition
Mode, Locked Mode, or Holdover Mode. A state diagram showing the modes of operation is shown in
Figure 3.1 Modes of Operation
on page 4.
The following sections describe each of these modes in greater detail.

Functional Description
3.4.1 Initialization and Reset
Once power is applied, the device begins an initialization period where it downloads default register values and configuration data from
NVM and performs other initialization tasks. Communicating with the device through the serial interface is possible once this initializa-
tion period is complete. No clocks will be generated until the initialization is complete. There are two types of resets available. A hard
reset is functionally similar to a device power-up. All registers will be restored to the values stored in NVM, and all circuits will be re-
stored to their initial state including the serial interface. A hard reset is initiated using the RSTb pin or by asserting the hard reset bit. A
soft reset bypasses the NVM download. It is simply used to initiate register configuration changes. A hard reset affects all DSPLLs,
while a soft reset can either affect all or each DSPLL individually.

3.4.2 Free-run Mode
Once power is applied to the Si5348 and initialization is complete, all three DSPLLs will automatically enter freerun mode. The frequen-
cy accuracy of the generated output clocks in freerun mode is entirely dependent on the frequency accuracy of the clock source at the
reference inputs (REF/REFb). A TCXO or OCXO is recommended for applications that need frequency accuracy and stability to meet
the synchronization standards as shown in the following table:

3.4.3 Lock Acquisition Mode
Each of the DSPLLs independently monitors its configured inputs for a valid clock. If at least one valid clock is available for synchroni-
zation, a DSPLL will automatically start the lock acquisition process.If the fast lock feature is enabled, a DSPLL will acquire lock using
the Fastlock Loop Bandwidth setting and then transition to the DSPLL Loop Bandwidth setting when lock acquisition is complete. Dur-
ing lock acquisition the outputs will generate a clock that follows the VCO frequency change as it pulls-in to the input clock frequency.
