Si5391 Data Sheet
Ultra Low-Jitter, 12-Output, Any-Frequency, Any-Output Clock
Generator
The any-frequency, any-output Si5391 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 1 GHz
on 12 differential clock outputs while delivering sub-100 fs rms phase jitter performance
optimized for 100G/200G/400G applications. Each of the clock outputs can be as-
signed its own format and output voltage enabling the Si5391 to replace multiple clock
ICs and oscillators with a single device making it a true "clock tree on a chip."
The Si5391 can be quickly and easily configured using ClockBuilderPro software. Cus-
tom part numbers are automatically assigned using
ClockBuilder Pro
™
for fast, free,
and easy factory pre-programming or the Si5391 can be programmed via I2C and SPI
serial interfaces.
