Si5397/96 Reference Manual
Quad/Dual DSPLL Any-frequency, Any-output Jitter
Attenuators Si5397/96 Family Reference Manual
This Family Reference Manual is intended to provide system, PCB de-
sign, signal integrity, and software engineers the necessary technical
information to successfully use the Si5397/96 devices in end applica-
tions. The official device specifications can be found in the Si5397/96
data sheets.
The Si5397 is a high-performance, jitter-attenuating clock multiplier
that integrates four any-frequency DSPLLs for applications that require
maximum integration and independent timing paths. The Si5396 is a
dual DSPLL version in a smaller package. Each DSPLL has access to
any of the four inputs and can provide low-jitter clocks on any of the
device outputs. Based on 4th generation DSPLL technology, these de-
vices provide any-frequency conversion with superior jitter perform-
ance. Each DSPLL supports independent free-run, holdover modes of
operation, and offers automatic and hitless input clock switching. The
Si5397/96 is programmable via a serial interface with in-circuit pro-
grammable non-volatile memory so that it always powers up with a
known configuration. Programming the Si5397/96 is made easy with
Silicon Labs’ ClockBuilder Pro software. Factory preprogrammed devi-
ces are available.
All devices of the 9x family offer the option of an external reference or
an internal reference. Please refer to the datasheet for the different de-
vice ordering options and restrictions.
