Si541 Data Sheet
Ultra Low Jitter Dual Any-Frequency XO (125 fs), 0.2 to 1500 MHz
The Si541 Ultra Series
™
oscillator utilizes Silicon Laboratories’ advanced 4
th
gen-
eration DSPLL
®
technology to provide an ultra-low jitter, low phase noise clock at
two selectable frequencies. The device is factory-programmed to provide any two
selectable frequencies from 0.2 to 1500 MHz with <1 ppb resolution and maintains
exceptionally low jitter for both integer and fractional frequencies across its operat-
ing range. The Si541 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 indus-
try-standard 3.2x5 mm and 5x7 mm footprints, the Si541 has a dramatically simpli-
fied 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 re-
quired for each output frequency, the Si541 uses one simple crystal and a DSPLL
IC-based approach to provide the desired output frequencies. This process also
guarantees 100% electrical testing of every device. The Si541 is factory-configura-
ble 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 oscilla-
tors.
