Description
The Si598 XO/Si599 VCXO utilizes Silicon Laboratories' advanced DSPLL®
circuitry to provide a low-jitter clock at any frequency. They are user-
programmable to any output frequency from 10 to 810 MHz with 28 parts per
trillion (PPT) resolution. The device is programmed via a 2-pin I
2
C compatible
serial interface. The wide frequency range and ultra-fine programming resolution
make these devices ideal for applications that require in-circuit dynamic frequency
adjustments or multi-rate operation with non-integer related rates. Using an
integrated crystal, these devices provide stable low jitter frequency synthesis and
replace multiple XOs, clock generators, and DAC controlled VCXOs.
