The Si5xx family of oscillators (XOs) and voltage-controlled oscillators (VCXOs) offer the industry's shortest lead times, highest reliability and unmatched performance, making them ideal for applications such as networking equipment, base stations, test and measurement equipment, storage area networks and broadcast video systems.
With optimized DSPLLĀ® technology, Silicon Laboratories is able to move frequency control and tuning from a complex resonator to a single CMOS IC.
Silicon Labs provides a web-based utility to simplify configuration. The utility validates and generates part numbers for single, dual, quad and any-rate frequency devices. Simply run the web utility to automatically submit your part number request for qualification by Silicon Labs.
Unmatched Performance
The Si5xx products support frequency ranges from 10 MHz to 1.4 GHz, provide ultra-low jitter performance (<0.3 ps rms typical OC-192) and offer new features that have been unavailable in high-frequency oscillators based on SAW resonators or inverted mesa crystals. These features include dual, quad and any-rate frequency operation as well as selectable voltage gain (Kv) for VCXO devices.
Highest Reliability
Utilizing Silicon Labs' DSPLL technology, the Si5xx products offer total frequency stability over time and temperature that is more than five times better than competing SAW devices. Compared to inverted mesa crystal oscillators, Silicon Labs offers a solution that is more mechanically robust while providing five times better aging stability.
Industry's Shortest Lead Times
Silicon Labs changes the manufacturing model enabling the shortest and most predictable lead times for high-frequency, low-jitter oscillators. By moving the frequency control and tuning into a mixed-signal IC, complex manufacturing steps are either eliminated or simplified.
