SL2309NZSI-1

The SL2309NZSI-1 clock buffer is a device with a broad range of applications and working principles. Designed by Silicon Laboratories, the SL2309NZSI-1 is a low-power, programmable clock buffer that is well-suited for many kinds of applications. It is used to accurately distribute clock signals to multiple points in a circuit, drive multiple synchronous clocks or multiple source clock signals, and reduce the number of oscillator clocks in a system.

The SL2309NZSI-1 is ideal for applications like communications systems, broadcast equipment, multiple-processor systems, telecom modems and routers, disk array servers, video equipment, and more. It offers low skew outputs, a wide frequency range, low power consumption, a low profile package, and a low output-to-output jitter.

Working Principle

The SL2309NZSI-1 is driven by a low output-to-output jitter which allows for higher system performance at an extremely low power consumption. The user can use the device\'s programmability to select the desired output clock frequency and program the output frequency ratios. This ensures that the clock signal is properly distributed between multiple devices. The device also has programmable delay lines to adjust the skew between output clock signals, which helps to control risks of jitter between output clocks.

The SL2309NZSI-1 utilizes a differential input design and integrates an oscillator to optimize the noise performance. It supports various output formats, like FlexClk and LVCMOS, and has global feed-forward and skew control to ensure reliable clock distribution. It also has a divide-by-2 circuit and a divide-by-4 circuit to reduce the power consumption. Furthermore, the SL2309NZSI-1 can be configured to operate as a buffer or a follower.

Conclusion

In summary, the SL2309NZSI-1 offers many advantages for Clock/Timing applications, including low power consumption, and low output-to-output jitter. It is widely used for communications systems, broadcast equipment, multiple-processor systems, telecom modems and routers, disk array servers, video equipment and more. Additionally, its programmability feature, differential input design, low profile package and adjustable skew control make it a reliable and powerful choice for many different kinds of applications.
