Si530/531
CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR (XO) (10 MHZ TO 1.4 GHZ)
Features
Applications
Description
The Si530/531 XO utilizes Silicon Laboratories’ advanced DSPLL
®
circuitry
to provide a low jitter clock at high frequencies. The Si530/531 is available
with any-rate output freque nc y fro m 10 to 945 MHz and select freque nc ies to
1400 MHz. Unlike a traditional XO, where a different crystal is required for
each output frequency, the Si530/531 uses one fixed crystal to provide a
wide range of output frequencies. This IC based approach allows the crystal
resonato r to pro vide excep tiona l freque nc y st a bility and relia bility. In addition,
DSPLL clock synthesis provides superior supply noise rejection, simplifying
the task of generating low jitter clocks in noisy environments typically found in
communicatio n systems . The Si530/ 531 IC based XO is fact ory conf igurable
for a wide variety of user specifications including frequency, supply voltage,
output format, and temperature stability. Specific configurations are factory
programmed at time of shipment, thereby eliminating long lead times
associated with custom oscillators.

3. Ordering Information
The Si530/531 XO supports a variety of options including frequency, temperature stability, output format, and VDD.
Specific device configurations are programmed into the Si530/531 at time of shipment. Configurations can be
specified using the Part Number Configuration chart below. Silicon Laboratories provides a web browser-based
part number configuration utility to simplify this process. Refer to www.silabs.com/VCXOPartN umber to access t his
tool and for further ordering instructions. The Si530 and Si531 XO series are supplied in an industry-standard,
RoHS compliant, 6-pad, 5 x 7 mm package. The Si531 Series supports an alternate OE pinout (pin #1) for the
LVPECL, LVDS, and CML output formats. See Tables 10 and 11 for the pinout differences between the Si530 and
Si531 series.

General
1. All dimensions shown are in millimeters (mm) unless otherwise noted.
2. Dimensioning and Tolerancing is per the ANSI Y14.5 M-1 994 specification.
3. This Land Pattern Design is based on the IPC-7351 guidelines.

Condition (LMC) is calculated based on a Fabrication Allowance of 0.05 mm.
Solder Mask Design
1. All metal pads are to be non-solder mask defined (NSMD). Clearance between
the solder mask and the metal pad is to be 60 µm minimum, all the way around
the pad.
Stencil Design
1. A stainless steel, laser-cut and electro-polished stencil with trapezoidal walls
should be used to assure good solder paste release.
2. The stencil thickness should be 0.125 mm (5 mils).
3. The ratio of stencil aperture to land pad size should be 1:1.
Card Assembly
1. A No-Clean, Type-3 solder paste is recommended.
2. The recommended card reflow profile is per the JEDEC/IPC J-STD-020
specification for Small Body Components.
