SI5338A-B08194-GM

The SI5338A-B08194-GM clock generator is an ideal choice for application specific clock and timing solutions in industrial and communications applications as well as design solutions depending on the lowest power, highest performance, and smaller form factor. This versatile clock generator includes an integrated Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) and can generate four independent outputs of any frequency between 800 KHz to 538 MHz. Thus it provides unprecedented flexibility for the modern system designer.

The SI5338A-B08194-GM clock generator features an industry-leading jitter performance at just 1.9 pS rms integrated over a 12 KHz to 20 MHz bandwidth. Such a low jitter performance results in reliable operation of any digital system including those with critical XOSC requirements. Additionally, its low-power option allows systems with both high-performance and low-power requirements to benefit from the SI5338A-B08194-GM’s low-power operation.

The SI5338A-B08194-GM is a highly reliable device with a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. This extended temperature range allows designers to use it in demanding industrial and communications applications with confidence. Additionally, the device features an embedded phase-locked loop (PLL) with low jitter to provide flexibility for clock reference selection and the outputs are designed for easy termination for improved system performance.

The SI5338A-B08194-GM works by first accepting an external reference clock signal. The reference clock is sent to the PLL which then locks onto the signal and buffers it. It then feeds the output of the reference buffer to the internal VCO. By carefully controlling the frequency and current required to generate an output, the output is then stable and accurate. This is repeated for each of the four outputs, ensuring they all meet the specified frequency.

One of the unique advantages of the SI5338A-B08194-GM is its programmability. With a special programming tool, designers can program the device to output any frequency between 800 KHz and 538 MHz with a simple command. The device can also be programmed to limit output voltages to reduce power consumption, enabling the design of highly efficient systems. Additionally, the inherent flexibility of the device makes it suitable for a variety of applications such as wireless LAN, Bluetooth, radar, and other communication products, as well as industrial process control systems.

The SI5338A-B08194-GM is a highly efficient, versatile, and programmable clock generator suitable for the modern system designer. Its wide temperature range, high precision, low jitter, and low power operation make it ideal for applications in the industrial and communication markets. Its programmability and flexibility make it a great choice for those who need design solutions relying on the lowest power, highest performance, and smallest form factor.
