Description
The Si5356 is a highly flexible, I
2
C programmable clock generator capable of
synthesizing four completely non-integer related frequencies up to 200 MHz. The
device has four banks of outputs with each bank supporting two CMOS outputs at
the same frequency. Using Silicon Laboratories' patented MultiSynth fractional
divider technology, all outputs are guaranteed to have 0 ppm frequency synthesis
error regardless of configuration, enabling the replacement of multiple clock ICs
and crystal oscillators with a single device. Each output bank is independently
configurable to support 1.8, 2.5, or 3.3 V. The device is programmable via an I
2
C/
SMBus-compatible serial interface and supports operation from a 1.8, 2.5, or
3.3 V core supply.
