Si5325
µP-PROGRAMMABLE PRECISION CLOCK MULTIPLIER
Description
The Si5325 is a low jitter, precision clock multiplier for
applications requiring clock multiplication without jitter
attenuation. The Si5325 accepts dual clock inputs ranging
from 10 to 710 MHz and generates two clock outputs ranging
from 10 to 945 MHz and select frequencies to 1.4 GHz. The
two outputs are divided down separately from a common
source. The device provides virtually any frequency
translation combination across this operating range. The
Si5325 input clock frequency and clock multiplication ratio
are programmable through an I2C or SPI interface. The
Si5325 is based on Silicon Laboratories' 3rd-generation
DSPLL® technology, which provides any-rate frequency
synthesis in a highly integrated PLL solution that eliminates
the need for external VCXO and loop filter components. The
DSPLL loop bandwidth is digitally programmable, providing
jitter performance optimization at the application level.
Operating from a single 1.8, 2.5, or 3.3 V supply, the Si5325
is ideal for providing clock multiplication in high performance
timing applications.

1. Functional Description
The Si5325 is a low jitter, precision clock multiplier for
applications requiring clock multiplication without jitter
attenuation. The Si5325 accepts dual clock inputs
ranging from 10 to 710 MHz and generates two
independent, synchronous clock outputs ranging from
10 to 945 MHz and select frequencies to 1.4 GHz. The
device provides virtually any frequency translation
combination across this operating range. Independent
dividers are available for each input clock and output
clock, so the Si5325 can accept input clocks at different
frequencies and it can generate output clocks at
different frequencies. The Si5325 input clock frequency
and clock multiplication ratio are programmable through
an I2C or SPI interface. Silicon Laboratories offers a
PC-based software utility, DSPLLsim, that can be used
to determine the optimum PLL divider settings for a
given input frequency/clock multiplication ratio
combination that minimizes phase noise and power
consumption. This utility can be downloaded from
www.silabs.com/timing.
The Si5325 is based on Silicon Laboratories' 3rd-
generation DSPLL® technology, which provides any-
rate frequency synthesis in a highly integrated PLL
solution that eliminates the need for external VCXO and
loop filter components. The Si5325 PLL loop bandwidth
is digitally programmable and supports a range from
30 kHz to 1.3 MHz. The DSPLLsim software utility can
be used to calculate valid loop bandwidth settings for a
given input clock frequency/clock multiplication ratio.
In the case when the input clocks enter alarm
conditions, the PLL will freeze the DCO output
frequency near its last value to maintain operation with
an internal state close to the last valid operating state.
The Si5325 has two differential clock outputs. The
electrical format of each clock output is independently
programmable to support LVPECL, LVDS, CML, or
CMOS loads. If not required, the second clock output
can be powered down to minimize power consumption.
The phase difference between the selected input clock
and the output clocks is adjustable in 200 ps increments
for system skew control. In addition, the phase of one
output clock may be adjusted in relation to the phase of
the other output clock. The resolution varies from
800 ps to 2.2 ns depending on the PLL divider settings.
Consult the DSPLLsim configuration software to
determine the phase offset resolution for a given input
clock/clock multiplication ratio combination. For system-
level debugging, a bypass mode is available which
drives the output clock directly from the input clock,
bypassing the internal DSPLL. The device is powered
by a single 1.8, 2.5, or 3.3 V supply.
1.1. Further Documentation
Consult the Silicon Laboratories Any-Rate Precision
Clock Family Reference Manual (FRM) for more
detailed information about the Si5325. The FRM can be
downloaded from www.silabs.com/timing.
Silicon Laboratories has developed a PC-based
software utility called DSPLLsim to simplify device
configuration, including frequency planning and loop
bandwidth selection. This utility can be downloaded
from www.silabs.com/timing.

1RST ILVCMOSExternal Reset.
Active low input that performs external hardware reset of
device. Resets all internal logic to a known state and forces
the device registers to their default value. Clock outputs are
tristated during reset. After rising edge of RST signal, the
Si5325 will perform an internal self-calibration.
This pin has a weak pull-up.

NC No Connect.
This pin must be left unconnected for normal operation.
3 INT_C1B O LVCMOS Interrupt/CKIN1 Invalid Indicator.
This pin functions as a device interrupt output or an alarm
output for CKIN1. If used as an interrupt output, INT_PIN
must be set to 1. The pin functions as a maskable interrupt
output with active polarity controlled by the INT_POL register
bit.
If used as an alarm output, the pin functions as a LOS (and
optionally FOS) alarm indicator for CKIN1. Set
CK1_BAD_PIN = 1 and INT_PIN =0.
0 = CKIN1 present.
1 = LOS (FOS) on CKIN1.
The active polarity is controlled by CK_BAD_POL. If no func-
tion is selected, the pin tristates.
Note: Internal register names are indicated by underlined italics, e.g. INT_PIN. See Si5325 Register Map.

In manual clock selection mode, this pin functions as the
manual input clock selector if the CKSEL_PIN is set to 1.
0 = Select CKIN1.
1 = Select CKIN2.
If CKSEL_PIN =0, the CKSEL_REG register bit controls this
function and this input tristates.
In automatic clock selection mode, this pin indicates which of
the two input clocks is currently the active clock. If alarms
exist on both clocks, CA will indicate the last active clock that
was used before entering the digital hold state. The
CK_ACTV_PIN register bit must be set to 1 to reflect the
active clock status to the CA output pin.
0 = CKIN1 active input clock.
1 = CKIN2 active input clock.
If CK_ACTV_PIN = 0, this pin will tristate. The CA status will
always be reflected in the CK_ACTV_REG read only register
bit.
