Silicon Laboratories has introduced a family of clock generators and buffers that provide a high degree of frequency flexibility. Based on the company's breakthrough MultiSynth~(TM) technology, the Si5338 is capable of synthesizing any frequency from 0.16 to 350 MHz and select frequencies to 700 MHz on each of the device's four differential outputs, dramatically simplifying timing architectures by replacing four discrete phase-locked loop (PLL) devices with a single IC.rnAt one picosecond rms random jitter typical, the Si5338 is able to simultaneously generate low jitter clocks for a wide variety of ICs, including processors, FPGAs, ASICs, memory and physical layer transceivers. The device generates four differential or eight single-ended outputs per device, eliminating the need for external clock distribution buffers.
