Si5381/82 Rev. E Reference Manual
Overview
This Reference Manual is intended to provide system, PCB design, signal integrity, and
software engineers the necessary technical information to successfully use the
Si5381/82 devices in end applications. The official device specifications can be found in
the Si5381/82 datasheet.
The Si5381/82 is a high performance jitter attenuating clock multiplier which integrates
four/two any-frequency DSPLLs for applications that require maximum integration and in-
dependent timing paths. A single low phase noise XO connected to the XA/XB input pins
provides the reference for the device. The device supports ultra-low phase noise 4G/LTE
clock generation and low jitter general-purpose clock synthesis from a single device.
Each DSPLL has access to any of the four inputs and can provide low jitter clocks on
any of the device outputs. Based on fourth generation DSPLL technology, these devices
provide any-frequency conversion with typical jitter performance under 100 fs (4G/LTE
frequency outputs). Each DSPLL supports independent free-run, holdover modes of op-
eration, as well as automatic and hitless input clock switching. The Si5381/82 is pro-
grammable via an SPI or I
2
C serial interface with in-circuit programmable non-volatile
memory so that it always powers up in a known configuration.

Work Flow Expectations with ClockBuilder
™
Pro and the Register Map
This reference manual is to be used to describe all the functions and features of the parts in the product family with register map details
on how to implement them. It is important to understand that the intent is for customers to use the ClockBuilder
™
Pro software to pro-
vide the initial configuration for the device. Although the register map is documented, all the details of the algorithms to implement a
valid frequency plan are fairly complex and are beyond the scope of this document. Real-time changes to the frequency plan and other
operating settings are supported by the devices. However, describing all the possible changes is not a primary purpose of this docu-
ment. Refer to Applications Notes and Knowledge Base article links within the ClockBuilder Pro GUI for information on how to imple-
ment the most common, real-time frequency plan changes.

Si5381/82 Rev. E Reference Manual
Functional Description
1. Functional Description
The Si5381/82 integrates four/two independent any-frequency DSPLLs in a monolithic IC for applications that require a combination of
4G/LTE, wireline, and general-purpose clocking. Any clock input can be routed to any DSPLL. The output of any DSPLL can be routed
to any of the device clock inputs. Based on 4th generation DSPLL technology, the Si5381/82 provides a clock-tree-on-a-chip solution
for applications that need a mix of 4G/LTE and general-purpose frequencies.
1.1 DSPLL
The DSPLL provides the synthesis for generating the output clock frequencies which are synchronous to the selected input clock fre-
quency or freerun from the reference clock. It consists of a phase detector, a programmable digital loop filter, a high-performance ultra-
low-phase-noise analog VCO, and a user configurable feedback divider. Use of an external XO provides the DSPLL with a stable low-
noise clock source for frequency synthesis and for maintaining frequency accuracy in the Freerun or Holdover modes. No other external
components are required for oscillation. A key feature of DSPLL is providing immunity to external noise coupling from power supplies
and other uncontrolled noise sources that normally exist on printed circuit boards.
The frequency configuration for each of the DSPLLs is programmable through the SPI or I
2
C interface and can also be stored in non-
volatile memory. DSPLLB is primarily used to generate 4G/LTE frequencies. Fractional frequency multiplication (Mn/Md) 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.
