3. Functional Description
The Si5391 uses next generation MultiSynth™ technology to offer the industry’s most frequency-flexible, high performance clock
generator. The internal Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) locks to either an external crystal (XA/XB) or to an external input on XAXB, IN0,
IN1 or IN2. The input frequency (crystal or external input) is multiplied by the PLL and divided by the MultiSynth™ stage (N divider)
and R divider to any frequency in the range of 100 Hz to 712.5 MHz per output. The PLL is fully contained and does not require
external loop filter components to operate. Its function is to phase lock to the selected input and provide a common reference to all
the output MultiSynth highperformance fractional dividers (N dividers). The high-resolution fractional MultiSynth™ dividers enables true
any-frequency input to any-frequency output. A cross-point mux connects any of the MultiSynth divided frequencies to any of the output
drivers. Additional integer output dividers (R) provide further frequency division if required. The frequency configuration of the device is
programmed by setting the input dividers (P), the PLL feedback fractional divider (M_NUM/M_DEN), the MultiSynth fractional dividers
(N_NUM/ N_DEN), and the output integer dividers (R). Skyworks’ Clockbuilder Pro configuration utility determines the optimum divider
values for any desired input and output frequency plan.
The output drivers offer flexible output formats which are independently configurable on each of the outputs. This clock generator is
fully configurable via its serial interface (I2C/SPI) and includes in-circuit programmable non-volatile memory. The block diagram for the
Si5391 is shown in the figure below.
