Si540 Data Sheet
Ultra Low Jitter Any-Frequency XO (125 fs), 0.2 to 1500 MHz
KEY FEATURES
The Si540 Ultra Series
™
oscillator utilizes Silicon Laboratories’ advanced 4
th
generation DSPLL
®
technology to provide an ultra-low jitter, low phase noise clock
at any output frequency. The device is factory-programmed to any frequency from
0.2 to 1500 MHz with <1 ppb resolution and maintains exceptionally low jitter for
both integer and fractional frequencies across its operating range. The Si540
offers excellent reliability and frequency stability as well as guaranteed aging
performance. 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 supplies. Offered in industry-standard
3.2×5 mm and 5×7 mmfootprints, the Si540 has a dramatically simplified supply
chain that enables Silicon Labs to ship custom frequency samples 1-2 weeks after
receipt of order. Unlike a traditional XO, where a different crystal is required for
each output frequency, the Si540 uses one simple crystal and a DSPLL IC-based
approach to provide the desired output frequency. This process also guarantees
100% electrical testing of every device. The Si540 is factory-configurable for a
wide variety of user specifications, 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.
