Clock/Timing - Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers

The Silicon Labs SI5356A-B-GM is a high-performance, I2C configurable Clock Generator and Synthesizer. It is specifically designed for frequency control and clock generation applications. The device provides an extremely wide input frequency range and high output frequency range. It has a high resolution, linear-phase digital phase lock loop (PLL), as well as a low noise voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). Additionally, it offers an integrated voltage regulator and programmable dividers.

The SI5356A-B-GM is capable of generating multiple clocks and frequencies, with up to sixteen outputs, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It can be used in data communication, storage, and computing applications, as well as in aerospace and industrial applications. It is particularly useful for systems that require multiple fixed frequencies, or frequencies that change rapidly.

Operation Principle

The SI5356A-B-GM operates using a combination of on-chip PLL and VCO technologies. The PLL is composed of several components, each of which works in tandem to generate a stable output frequency. It contains a digital control circuit, an oscillator, a digital frequency divider, a phase detector, and a loop filter. The digital control circuit can be configured to select the desired frequency from a range of frequencies, and it contains the logic needed to generate the appropriate control signals for the different parts of the PLL.

The oscillator provides the necessary reference frequency for the PLL. It is usually a low-frequency crystal or a quartz oscillator. The digital frequency divider is used to divide the input frequency to generate the reference frequency for the PLL. The phase detector allows the PLL to detect the phase difference between the incoming signal and the output of the PLL. The loop filter ensures that the PLL operates in its optimal range.

Once the reference frequency is selected, the VCO takes over to generate the desired output. It operates by taking a triangular waveform and modulating it with the input frequency. The VCO output is then put through a programmable frequency divider to generate the various clocks and frequencies that the device can produce. The output frequency is limited only by the VCO’s tuning range.
