Ultra Series
™
Crystal Oscillator (VCXO)
Si567 Data Sheet
Ultra Low Jitter Quad Any-Frequency VCXO (100 fs), 0.2 to
3000 MHz
The Si567 Ultra Series
™
voltage-controlled crystal oscillator utilizes Silicon Labo-
ratories’ advanced 4
th
generation DSPLL
®
technology to provide an ultra-low jit-
ter, low phase noise clock at four selectable frequencies. The device is factory-
programmed to provide any four selectable frequencies from 0.2 to 3000 MHz
with <1 ppb resolution and maintains exceptionally low jitter for both integer and
fractional frequencies across its operating range. On-chip power supply filtering
provides industry-leading power supply noise rejection, simplifying the task of
generating low jitter clocks in noisy systems that use switched-mode power sup-
plies. Offered in industry-standard 3.2x5 mm and 5x7 mm footprints, the Si567
has a dramatically simplified supply chain that enables Silicon Labs to ship cus-
tom frequency samples 1-2 weeks after receipt of order. Unlike a traditional XO,
where a different crystal is required for each output frequency, the Si567 uses
one simple crystal and a DSPLL IC-based approach to provide the desired output
frequencies. The Si567 is factory-configurable for a wide variety of user specifica-
tions, including frequency, output format, and OE pin location/polarity. Specific
configurations are factory-programmed at time of shipment, eliminating the long
lead times associated with custom oscillators.

Description
Four unique frequencies can be
specified within the supported range
of the selected signal format. The
frequencies can be arranged in any
order from FS[1:0]=00 to
FS[1:0]=11. A six digit numeric code
will be assigned for the specific
combination of frequencies.

Notes:
1. Contact Silicon Labs for non-standard configurations.
2. Create custom part numbers at
www.silabs.com/oscillators.
3. Min Absolute Pull Range (APR) includes temp stability, initial accuracy, load pulling, VDD variation, and 20 year aging at 70 °C.
a. For best jitter and phase noise performance, always choose the smallest Kv that meets the application’s minimum APR re-
quirements. Unlike SAW-based solutions which require higher Kv values to account for their higher temperature dependence,
the Si56x series provides lower Kv options to minimize noise coupling and jitter in real-world PLL designs.
b. APR is the ability of a VCXO to track a signal over the product lifetime. A VCXO with an APR of ±20 ppm is able to lock to a
clock with a ±20 ppm stability over 20 years over all operating conditions.
c. APR (±) = (0.5 x VDD x tuning slope) - (initial accuracy + temp stability + load pulling + VDD variation + aging).
d. Minimum APR values noted above include absolute worst case values for all parameters.
e. See application note, "AN266:
VCXO Tuning Slope (Kv), Stability, and Absolute Pull Range (APR)"
for more information.
