The SI5338C-B02014-GMR is a clock/timing integrated circuit which is designed to address the needs of high-bandwidth networking systems, such as 1Gbps Ethernet and 2Gbps Fibre Channel. It is a multi-frequency clock generator which offers the highest level of accuracy and stability for these systems.

Application Field

The SI5338C-B02014-GMR is best suited for high-performance applications where accuracy and stability are of utmost importance. The device is ideal for 10Gbps Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications, as well as applications where low jitter and drift are required. Moreover, the SI5338C-B02014-GMR is suited for multi-port applications, as it can generate reliable clock signals for multiple ports simultaneously.

Working Principle

The SI5338C-B02014-GMR works on the principle of Digital Phase-Locked Loops (DPLLs). A DPLL operates by taking an input signal, comparing it to a digital reference, and then computing the output signal. This output signal is then fed back to the reference, and is used to control the input signal. The SI5338C-B02014-GMR offers several outputs, each of which can be programmed with different frequencies and resolution, allowing for precise control.

Additionally, the SI5338C-B02014-GMR offers dynamic skew tuning, which allows users to adjust the frequency of each output, while simultaneously maintaining its relationship to the inputs. This allows the SI5338C-B02014-GMR to shift the frequencies of the outputs without the need to shut down the system.

Furthermore, the SI5338C-B02014-GMR features automatic jitter attenuation, which reduces the amount of noise picked up by the outputs. This allows for better signal integrity and improved performance. Similarly, the SI5338C-B02014-GMR also offers an integrated output-signal amplitude protection circuit, which allows for reliable operation in harsh environments.

Conclusion

The SI5338C-B02014-GMR is an ultra-high-performance clock/timing integrated circuit, designed for the most demanding applications in the networking industry. Its advanced features and exceptional accuracy and stability make it the ideal choice for 10Gbps Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications.
