Si5357 Reference Manual

The Si5357 is a high-performance, low-jitter clock generator capable of synthesizing
five independent banks of user-programmable clock frequencies up to 312.5 MHz. The
device supports free run operation using an external crystal, or it can lock to an external
clock signal. The output drivers support up to twelve LVCMOS clocks. Separate output
supply pins allow supply voltages of 3.3, 2.5, 1.8 V and 1.5 V to power the output driv-
ers. The core voltage supply (VDD) accepts 3.3, 2.5,or 1.8 V and is independent from
the output supplies (VDDOs). Using its two-stage synthesis architecture and patented
high-resolution Multisynth technology, the Si5357 can generate three fully independent /
non-harmonically-related bank frequencies from a single input frequency.
