Description
The Si550 VCXO utilizes Silicon Laboratories’ advanced DSPLL
®
circuitry to
provide a low-jitter clock at high frequencies. The Si550 supports any
frequency from 10 to 945 MHz and select frequencies to 1417 MHz. Unlike
traditional VCXOs, where a different crystal is required for each output
frequency, the Si550 uses one fixed crystal to provide a wide range of output
frequencies. This IC-based approach allows the crystal resonator to provide
exceptional frequency stability and reliability. In addition, DSPLL clock
synthesis provides superior supply noise rejection, simplifying the task of
generating low-jitter clocks in noisy environments typically found in
communication systems. The Si550 IC-based VCXO is factory-configurable
for a wide variety of user specifications, including frequency, supply voltage,
output format, tuning slope, and temperature stability. Specific configurations
are factory programmed at time of shipment, thereby eliminating the long
lead times associated with custom oscillators.
