Overview
1. Overview
The Si5345/44/42 jitter attenuating clock multipliers combine 4th generation DSPLL and MultiSynth™ technologies to enable any-frequency clock generation for applications that require the highest level of jitter performance. These devices are programmable via a serial interface with in-circuit programmable non-volatile memory (NVM) ensuring power up with a known frequency configuration. Freerun, synchronous, and holdover modes of operation are supported offering both automatic and manual input clock switching. The loop
filter is fully integrated on-chip eliminating the risk of potential noise coupling associated with discrete solutions. Further, the jitter attenuation bandwidth is digitally programmable providing jitter performance optimization at the application level.
These devices are capable of generating any combination of output frequency from any input frequency within the specified input and
output range.

Work Flow Expectations with ClockBuilder Pro™ and the Register Map
2. Work Flow Expectations with ClockBuilder Pro™ and the Register Map
This reference manual is to be used to describe all the functions and features of the parts in the product family with register map details
on how to implement them. It is important to understand that the intent is for customers to use the ClockBuilder Pro software to provide
the initial configuration for the device. Although the register map is documented, all the details of the algorithms to implement a valid
frequency plan are fairly complex and are beyond the scope of this document. Real-time changes to the frequency plan and other operating settings are supported by the devices. However, describing all the possible changes is not a primary purpose of this document.
Refer to Applications Notes and Knowledge Base article links within the ClockBuilder Pro GUI for information on how to implement the
most common, real-time frequency plan changes.
The primary purpose of the software is that it saves having to understand all the complexities of the device. The software abstracts the
details from the user to allow focus on the high level input and output configuration, making it intuitive to understand and configure for
the end application. The software walks the user through each step, with explanations about each configuration step in the process to
explain the different options available. The software will restrict the user from entering an invalid combination of selections. The final
configuration settings can be saved, written to an EVB and a custom part number can be created for customers who prefer to order a
factory preprogrammed device. The final register maps can be exported to text files, and comparisons can be done by viewing the settings in the register map described in this document.

DSPLL and MultiSynth
3. DSPLL and MultiSynth
The DSPLL is responsible for input frequency translation, jitter attenuation and wander filtering. Fractional input dividers (Pxn/Pxd) allow the DSPLL to perform hitless switching between input clocks (INx) that are fractionally related. Input switching is controlled manually or automatically using an internal state machine. The oscillator circuit (OSC) provides a frequency reference which determines output
frequency stability and accuracy while the device is in free-run or holdover mode. Note that a XTAL (or suitable XO reference on
XA/XB) is always required and is the jitter reference for the device. The high-performance MultiSynth dividers (Nxn/Nxd) generate integer or fractionally related output frequencies for the output stage. A crosspoint switch connects any of the MultiSynth generated frequencies to any of the outputs. A single MultiSynth output can connect to two or more output drivers. Additional integer division (R)
determines the final output frequency as shown in Figure 3.1 Si5342 DSPLL and Multisynth System Flow Diagram on page 9.

The frequency configuration of the DSPLL is programmable through the SPI or I2C serial
interface and can also be stored in non-volatile memory or RAM. The combination of fractional input dividers (Pn/Pd), fractional frequency multiplication (Mn/Md), fractional output
MultiSynth division (Nn/Nd), and integer output division (Rn) allows the generation of virtually any output frequency on any of the outputs. All divider values for a specific frequency plan are easily determined using the ClockBuilder Pro software.

3.1 Dividers
There are five divider classes within the Si5345/4/2. See Figure 1 for a block diagram that shows all of these dividers.
1. P-dividers: Wide range input dividers P3, P2, P1, P0
• MultiSynth divider: 48 bit numerator, 32 bit denominator, min value is 1
Practical range limited by phase detector and VCO range
•
• Each divider has an update bit that must be written to cause a newly written divider value to take effect.
2. Narrow range input divider: Pxaxb
• Only divides by 1, 2, 4, 8
3. Feedback M divider
• MultiSynth divider
• Integer or fractional divide values
• 56 bit numerator, 32-bit denominator
• Practical range limited by phase detector and VCO range
• Each divider has an update bit that must be written to cause a newly written divider value to take effect.
4. Output N divider
• MultiSynth divider
• Integer or fractional divide values
• 44 bit numerator, 32 bit denominator
• Each divider has an update bit that must be written to cause a newly written divider value to take effect.
5. Output R divider
• Only even integer divide values
• Min value is 2
•
Maximum value is 225 – 2
3.2 DSPLL Loop Bandwidth
The DSPLL loop bandwidth determines the amount of input clock jitter attenuation and wander filtering. Register configurable DSPLL
loop bandwidth settings in the range of 0.1 Hz to 4 kHz are available for selection. Since the loop bandwidth is controlled digitally, the
DSPLL will always remain stable with less than 0.1 dB of peaking regardless of the loop bandwidth selection. The DSPLL loop bandwidth is set in registers 0x0508-0x050D and are determined using ClockBuilder Pro.
The higher the PLL bandwidth is set relative to the phase detector frequency (F
), the more chance that F
pfd
will cause a spur in the
pfd
Phase Noise plot of the output clock and increase the output jitter. To guarantee the best phase noise/jitter it is recommended that the
normal PLL bandwidth be kept less than F
/160 although ratios of F
pfd
/100 will typically work fine.
pfd

BWx_PLL0x0508[7:0]-0x050D[7:0] Determines the loop BW for the DSPLL. This is set by CBPro. See CBPro for a

3.2.1 Fastlock Feature
Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
DSPLL and MultiSynth
Selecting a
low DSPLL loop bandwidth (e.g. 0.1 Hz) will generally lengthen the lock acquisition time. The Fastlock feature allows setting
a temporary Fastlock Loop Bandwidth that is used during the lock acquisition process to reduce lock time. Higher Fastlock loop bandwidth settings will enable the DSPLLs to lock faster. Fastlock Bandwidth settings in the range from 100 Hz up to 4 kHz are available for
selection. Once lock acquisition has completed, the DSPLL’s loop bandwidth will automatically revert to the DSPLL Loop Bandwidth
setting. The Fastlock feature can be enabled or disabled independently by register control. If enabled, when LOL is asserted Fastlock
will be automatically enabled. When LOL is no longer asserted, Fastlock will be automatically disabled.
Note: This update bit will latch new values for Loop, Fastlock, and Holdover bandwidths simultaneously.
The loss of lock (LOL) feature is a fault monitoring mechanism. Details of the LOL feature can be found in 5.3.3 Loss
of Lock (LOL)
Fault Monitoring.
3.2.2 Holdover Exit Bandwidth
In addition to the operating loop and fastlock bandwidths, there is also a user-selectable bandwidth when exiting holdover and locking
or relocking to an input clock, available when ramping is disabled (HOLD_RAMP_BYP = 1). CBPro sets this value equal to the loop
bandwidth by default.
Note: The BW_UPDATE bit will latch new values for Loop, Fastlock, and Holodver bandwidths simultaneously.
HOLDEXIT_BW0x059D–0x05A2Determines the Holdover Exit BW for the DSPLL. Parameters are generated by
ClockBuilder Pro. See CBPro for the generated values and corresponding
bandwidths.

4.1 Reset and Initialization
Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Modes of Operation
Once power
is applied, the device begins an initialization period where it downloads default register values and configuration data from
NVM and performs other initialization tasks. Communicating with the device through the serial interface is possible once this initialization period is complete. No clocks will be generated until initialization is complete.
There are two types of resets available. A hard reset is functionally similar to a device power-up. All registers are restored to the values
stored in NVM, and all circuits, including the serial interface, are restored to their initial state. A hard reset is initiated using the RST pin
or by asserting the hard reset bit. A soft reset bypasses the NVM download. It is simply used to initiate register configuration changes.
Table 4.1 Reset Registers on page 13 lists the reset and control registers.

The Si5345/44/42 is fully configurable using the serial interface (I2C or
SPI). At power up the device downloads its default register values from internal non-volatile memory (NVM). Application specific default configurations can be written into NVM allowing the device to
generate specific clock frequencies at power-up. Writing default values to NVM is in-circuit programmable with normal operating power
supply voltages applied to its VDD (1.8V) and VDDA (3.3 V) pins.

4.2 Dynamic PLL Changes
possible for a PLL to become unresponsive (i.e., lose lock indefinitely) when it is dynamically reprogrammed or changed via the
It is
serial port. Reprogramming/changing the N divider does not affect the PLL. Any change that causes the VCO frequency to change by
more than 250 ppm since Power-up, NVM download, or SOFT_RST requires the following special sequence of writes. Changes to the
following registers require the this special sequence of writes:
• PXAXB
• MXAXB_NUM
• MXAXB_DEN
• M_NUM
• M_DEN
1. First, write in the preamble
Write 0x0B24 = 0xC0
Write 0x0B25 = 0x00
Write 0x0540 = 0x01 (NOTE: for all new designs it is recommend that this register be written as part of the preamble. In some rare
cases, omitting this write may result in a one-time LOL occurrence. However, if this issue has not occurred with your current frequency plan it is not likely to occur)
2. Wait 300 ms.
3. Then perform the desired register modifications
4. Write SOFT_RST 0x001C[0] = 1
5. Write the post-amble
Write 0x0540 = 0x00 (NOTE: for all new designs it is recommend that this register be written as part of the post-amble. In some
rare cases, omitting this write may result in a one-time LOL occurrence. However, if this issue has not occurred with your current
frequency plan it is not likely to occur)
Write 0x0B24 = 0xC3
Write 0x0B25 = 0x02
Note: This programming sequence applies only to Rev D and later and has changed for revision D and later from what it was in the
earlier revisions. The preamble and postamble values for updating certain registers during device operation are different for earlier revisions. Either the new or old values below may be written to revision D or later devices without issue. No system software changes are
necessary for legacy systems. When writing old values, note that reading back these registers will not give the written old values, but
will reflect the new values. Silicon Labs recommends using the new values for all revision D (described above) and later designs, since
the write and read values will match. Please contact Silicon Labs if you need information about an earlier revision. Please always ensure to use the correct sequence for the correct revision of the device. Also check for the latest information online. This information is
updated from time to time. The latest information is always posted online.

4.3 NVM Programming
Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Modes of Operation
Devices have
two categories of non-volatile memory: user NVM and factory (Silabs) NVM. Each type is segmented into NVM banks.
There are three user NVM banks, one of which is used for factory programming (whether a base part or an Orderable Part Number).
User NVM can be therefore be burned in the field up to two times. Factory NVM cannot be modified, and contains fixed configuration
information for the device.
The ACTIVE_NVM_BANK device setting can be used to determine which user NVM bank is currently being used and therefore how
many banks, if any, are available to burn. The following table describes possible values:
Active NVM BANK Value (Decimal)Number of User Banks BurnedNumber of User Banks
Available to Burn
3 (factory state)12
1521
6330
Note: While polling DEVICE_READY during the procedure below, the following conditions must be met in order to ensure that the correct values are written into the NVM:
• VDD and VDDA power must both be stable throughout the process.
No additional registers may be written or read during DEVICE_READY polling. This includes the PAGE register at address 0x01.
•
DEVICE_READY is available on every register page, so no page change is needed to read it.
• Only the DEVICE_READY register (0xFE) should be read during this time.
The procedure for writing registers into NVM is as follows:
1. Write all registers as needed. Verify device operation before writing registers to NVM.
2. You may write to the user scratch space (Registers 0x026B to 0x0272 DESIGN_ID0-DESIGN_ID7) to identify the contents of the
NVM bank.
3. Write 0xC7 to NVM_WRITE register.
4. Poll DEVICE_READY until DEVICE_READY=0x0F.
5. Set NVM_READ_BANK 0x00E4[0]=1. This will load the NVM contents into non-volatile memory.
6. Poll DEVICE_READY until DEVICE_READY=0x0F.
7. Read ACTIVE_NVM_BANK and verify that the value is the next highest value in the table above. For example, from the factory it
will be a 3. After NVM_WRITE, the value will be 15.
Alternatively, steps 5 and 6 can be replaced with a Hard Reset, either by RSTb pin, HARD_RST register bit, or power cycling the device
to generate a POR. All of these actions will load the new NVM contents back into the device registers.
The ClockBuilder Pro Field Programmer kit is a USB attached device to program supported devices either in-system (wired to your
PCB) or in-socket (by purchasing the appropriate field programmer socket). ClockBuilder Pro software is then used to burn a device
configuration (project file). Learn more at https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/timing/cbprogrammer.

silabs.com | Building a more connected world.Rev. 1.3 | 15
4.4 Free Run Mode
Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Modes of Operation
The DSPLL
will automatically enter freerun mode once power is applied to the device and initialization is complete. The frequency accuracy of the generated output clocks in freerun mode is entirely dependent on the frequency accuracy of the external crystal or reference clock on the XA/XB pins. For example, if the crystal frequency is ±100 ppm, then all the output clocks will be generated at their
configured frequency ±100 ppm in freerun mode. Any drift of the crystal frequency will be tracked at the output clock frequencies. A
TCXO or OCXO is recommended for applications that need better frequency accuracy and stability while in freerun or holdover modes.
Because there is little or no jitter attenuation from the XAXB pins to the clock outputs, a low-jitter XAXB source will be needed for lowjitter clock outputs.
4.5 Acquisition Mode
The device monitors all inputs for a valid clock. If at least one valid clock is available for synchronization, the DSPLL will automatically
start the lock acquisition process. If the fast lock feature is enabled, the DSPLL will acquire lock using the Fastlock Loop Bandwidth
setting and then transition to the DSPLL Loop Bandwidth setting when lock acquisition is complete. During lock acquisition the outputs
will generate a clock that follows the VCO frequency change as it pulls-in to the input clock frequency.
4.6 Locked Mode
Once locked, the DSPLL will generate output clocks that are both frequency and phase locked to its selected input clock. At this point
any XTAL frequency drift will typically not affect the output frequency. A loss of lock pin (LOL) and status bit indicate when lock is achieved. See 5.3.3 Loss of Lock (LOL) Fault Monitoring for more details on the operation of the loss of lock circuit.
silabs.com | Building a more connected world.Rev. 1.3 | 16
4.7 Holdover Mode
Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Modes of Operation
The DSPLL
if programmed for holdover mode will automatically enter Holdover mode when the selected input clock becomes invalid
and no other valid input clocks are available for selection. It uses an averaged input clock frequency as its final holdover frequency to
minimize the disturbance of the output clock phase and frequency when an input clock suddenly fails. The holdover circuit stores up to
120 seconds of historical frequency data while locked to a valid clock input. The final averaged holdover frequency value is calculated
from a programmable window within the stored historical frequency data. Both the window size and the delay are programmable as
shown in the figure below. The window size determines the amount of holdover frequency averaging. This delay value allows recent
frequency information to be ignored for Holdover in cases where the input clock source frequency changes as it is removed.

Figure 4.4. Programmable Holdover Window
When entering Holdover, the DSPLL will pull its output clock frequency to the calculated averaged holdover frequency. While in Holdover, the
output frequency drift is entirely dependent on the external crystal or external reference clock connected to the XAXB pins. If
the clock input becomes valid, the DSPLL will automatically exit the Holdover mode and re-acquire lock to the new input clock. This
process involves pulling the output clock frequency to achieve frequency and phase lock with the input clock. This pull-in process is
Glitchless and its rate is controlled by the DSPLL bandwidth or the Fastlock bandwidth, if Fastlock is enabled. These options are register programmable.
The recommended mode of exit from holdover is a ramp in frequency. Just before the exit begins, the frequency difference between the
output frequency while in holdover and the desired, new output frequency is measured. It is quite possible (even likely) that the new
output clock frequency will not be the same as the holdover output frequency because the new input clock frequency might have
changed and the holdover history circuit may have changed the holdover output frequency. The ramp logic calculates the difference in
frequency between the holdover frequency and the new, desired output frequency. Using the user selected ramp rate, the correct ramp
time is calculated. The output ramp rate is then applied for the correct amount of time so that when the ramp ends, the output frequency
will be the desired new frequency. Using the ramp, the transition between the two frequencies is smooth and linear. The ramp rate can
be selected to be very slow (0.2 ppm/sec), very fast (40,000 ppm/sec) or any of approximately 40 values that are in between. The loop
BW values do not limit or affect the ramp rate selections and vice versa. CBPro defaults to ramped exit from holdover. Ramped exit
from holdover is also used for ramped input clock switching. See 5.2.3 Ramped Input Switching for more information.
As shown in Figure 4.1 Modes of Operation on page 12, the Holdover and Freerun modes are closely related. The device will only enter
Holdover if a valid clock has been selected long enough for the holdover history to become valid, i.e., HOLD_HIST_VALID = 1. If the
clock fails before the combined HOLD_HIST_LEN + HOLD_HIST_DELAY time has been met, HOLD_HIST_VALID = 0 and the device
will enter Freerun mode instead. Reducing the HOLD_HIST_LEN and HOLD_HIST_DELAY times will allow Holdover in less time, limited by the source clock failure and wander characteristics. Note that the Holdover history accumulation is suspended when the input
clock is removed and resumes accumulating when a valid input clock is again presented to the DSPLL.

Clock Inputs
5. Clock Inputs
The Si5342/44/45 support 4 inputs that can be used to synchronize to the internal DSPLL.
5.1 Inputs (IN0, IN1, IN2, IN3)
The inputs accept both standard format inputs and low-duty-cycle pulsed CMOS clocks. Input selection from CLK_SWITCH_MODE can
be manual (pin or register controlled) or automatic with user definable priorities. Register 0x052A is used to select pin or register control, and to configure the input as shown below in Table 5.1 Input Selection Configuration on page 19.

0 of register 0x052A determines if the input selection is pin selectable or register selectable. The default is pin selectable. The following
table describes the input selection on the pins. Note that when Zero Delay Mode is enabled, the FB_IN pins will become the feedback
input and IN3 therefore is not available as a clock input. Also, in Zero Delay Mode, ZDM_EN must be set and register based input clock
selection must be done with ZDM_IN_SEL. If there is no clock signal on the selected input, the device will automatically enter free-run
or holdover mode.

Clock Inputs
An automatic
input selection is available in addition to the above mentioned manual switching option described in 5.1.1 Manual Input
Switching. In automatic mode, the selection criteria is based on input clock qualification, input priority and the revertive option. The
IN_SEL[1:0] pins or IN_SEL[2:1] register bits are not used in automatic input selection. Also, only input clocks that are valid (i.e., with
no active alarms) can be selected by the automatic clock selection. If there are no valid input clocks available the DSPLL will enter the
holdover mode. With revertive switching enabled, the highest priority input with a valid input clock is always selected. If an input with a
higher priority becomes valid then an automatic switchover to that input will be initiated. With non-revertive switching, the active input
will always remain selected while it is valid. If it becomes invalid an automatic switchover to a valid input with the highest priority will be
initiated.

When in zero delay mode (ZDM_EN (0x0487[0]) the phase difference between the output, which is connected to the selected input, will
be nulled to zero. However the IO delay variation will substantially increase in ZDM mode if the Fpfd is below 128 kHz. When in zero
delay mode, the DSPLL must have the phase buildout turned off for input switching or else the IO delay can change on each input
switch. Manual control of the input clock selection is by either pin or register and also depends upon the device being in zero delay
mode or not. See Table 5.4 Register 0x0949 Clock Input Control and Configuration on page 22.

5.2 Types of Inputs
Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Clock Inputs
Each of
the four different inputs IN0–IN3 can be configured as standard LVDS, LVPECL, HCL, CML, and single-ended LVCMOS formats, or as a low duty cycle pulsed CMOS format. The standard format inputs have a nominal 50% duty cycle, must be ac-coupled and
use the “Standard” Input Buffer selection as these pins are internally dc-biased to approximately 0.83 V. The pulsed CMOS input format
allows pulse-based inputs, such as frame-sync and other synchronization signals, having a duty cycle much less than 50%. These
pulsed CMOS signals are dc-coupled and use the “Pulsed CMOS” Input Buffer selection. In all cases, the inputs should be terminated
near the device input pins as shown in Figure 5.1 Input Termination for Standard and Pulsed CMOS Inputs on page 21. The resistor
divider values given below will work with up to 1 MHz pulsed inputs.

5.2.2 Hitless Input Switching with Phase Buildout
Phase buildout, also referred to as hitless switching, prevents a phase change from propagating to the output when switching between
two clock inputs with the exact same frequency and a fixed phase relationship (i.e., they are phase/frequency locked, but with a nonzero phase difference). When phase buildout is enabled, the DSPLL absorbs the phase difference between the two input clocks during
a clock switch. When phase buildout is disabled, the phase difference between the two inputs is propagated to the output at a rate
determined by the DSPLL loop bandwidth. It supports a minimum input frequency of 8 kHz, but if a fractional P input divider is used, the
input frequency must be 300 MHz or higher in order to ensure proper operation. Note that hitless switching is not available in zero delay
mode.

5.2.3 Ramped Input Switching
If switching
between input clocks that are not exactly the same frequency (i.e. are plesiochronous), ramped switching should be enabled to ensure a smooth transition between the two inputs. In this situation, it is also advisable to enable phase buildout to minimize the
input-to-output clock skew after the clock switch ramp has completed.
When ramped clock switching is enabled, the Si5345/44/42 will very briefly go into holdover and then immediately exit from holdover.
This means that ramped switching will behave the same as an exit from holdover. This is particularly important when switching between
two input clocks that are not the same frequency because the transition between the two frequencies will be smooth and linear. Ramped switching should be turned off when switching between input clocks that are always frequency-locked (i.e., are the same exact
frequency). Because ramped switching avoids frequency transients and overshoot when switching between clocks that are not the
same frequency, CBPro defaults to ramped clock switching. The same ramp rate settings are used for both exit from holdover and clock
switching. For more information on ramped exit from holdover including the ramp rate, see 4.7 Holdover Mode.

5.2.4 Hitless Switching, LOL (loss of lock) and Fastlock
Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Clock Inputs
When doing
a clock switch between clock inputs that are frequency locked, LOL might momentarily be asserted. If so programmed, the
assertion of LOL with invoke Fastlock. Because Fastlock temporarily increases the loop BW by asynchronously inserting new filter parameters into the DSPLL’s closed loop, there may be transients at the clock outputs when Fastlock is either entered or exited. For this
reason, it is suggested that automatic entry into Fastlock be disabled by writing a zero to FASTLOCK_AUTO_EN at 0x52B[0] whenever
a clock switch might occur. For more details on hitless switching please refer to AN1057: Hitless Switching using Si534x/8x Devices.
5.2.5 Glitchless Input Switching
The DSPLL has the ability to switch between two input clock frequencies that are up to ±500 ppm apart. The DSPLL will pull-in to the
new frequency at a rate determined by the DSPLL loop bandwidth. The DSPLL loop bandwidth is set using registers 0x0508–0x050D.
Note that if “Fastlock” is enabled then the DSPLL will pull-in to the new frequency using the Fastlock Loop Bandwidth. Depending on
the LOL configuration settings, the loss of lock (LOL) indicator may assert while the DSPLL is pulling-in to the new clock frequency.
There will never be output runt pulses generated at the output during the transition.
5.2.6 External Clock Switching
External clock switches should be avoided because the Si5342/4/5 has no way of knowing when a clock switch will or has occurred.
Because of this, neither the phase buildout engine or the ramp logic can be used. If expansion beyond the four clock inputs is an important issue, please see AN1111: Si534x/8x Input Clock Expander which describes how an external FPGA can be used for this purpose.
5.2.7 Synchronizing to Gapped Input Clocks
The DSPLL supports locking to an input clock that has missing clock periods. This is also referred to as a gapped clock. The purpose of
gapped clocking is to modulate the frequency of a periodic clock by selectively removing some of its cycles. Gapping a clock severely
increases its jitter so a phase-locked loop with high jitter tolerance and low loop bandwidth is required to produce a low-jitter, truly periodic clock. The resulting output will be a periodic non-gapped clock with an average frequency of the input with its missing cycles. For
example, an input clock of 100 MHz with one cycle removed every 10 cycles will result in a 90 MHz periodic non-gapped output clock. A
valid gapped clock input must have a minimum frequency of 10 MHz with a maximum of 2 missing cycles out of every 8.
When properly configured, locking to a gapped clock will not trigger the LOS, OOF, and LOL fault monitors. Clock switching between
gapped clocks may violate the hitless switching specification for a maximum phase transient, when the switch occurs during a gap in
either input clocks. Figure 5.2 Generating an Averaged Non Gapped Output Frequency from a Gapped Input on page 23 shows a
100 MHz clock with one cycle removed every 10 cycles, which results in a 90 MHz periodic non-gapped output clock.

the input LOS circuits has its own programmable sensitivity which allows ignoring missing edges or intermittent errors. Loss of signal
sensitivity is configurable using the ClockBuilder Pro utility. The LOS status for each of the monitors is accessible by reading a status
register. The live LOS register always displays the current LOS state and a sticky register when set, always stays asserted until cleared

Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Clock Inputs
The Loss
is also a dedicated loss of lock pin that reflects the loss of lock condition. The LOL monitor functions by measuring the frequency difference between the input and feedback clocks at the phase detector. There are four parameters that control the LOL monitor. First, there
is an assert threshold which sets the LOL assertion threshold. The user sets this threshold in ppm in CBPro. Then, there is a fastassert threshold. CBPro sets this to ~100 times the assert threshold. Then there is a de-assert threshold to clear the LOL, which is
set in ppm in CBPro. Then, there is a clear delay, which CBPro sets based upon the project plan.
Note: A very large ppm error in a short time will assert LOL.
A block diagram of the LOL monitor is shown in Figure 5.8 LOL Status Indicators on page 29. The live LOL register always displays
the current LOL state and a sticky register always stays asserted until cleared. The LOL pin reflects the current state of the LOL monitor.

The LOL frequency monitors have an adjustable sensitivity which is register configurable from 0.1 ppm to 10000 ppm. CBPro provides
a wide range of set and clear thresholds for the LOL function. Having two separate frequency monitors allows for hysteresis to help
prevent chattering of LOL status. An example configuration of the LOL set and clear thresholds is shown in Figure 5.9 LOL Set and

There is
an interrupt pin available on the device which is used to indicate a change in state of one or several of the status indicators.
Any of the status indicators are maskable to prevent assertion of the interrupt pin. The state of the INTR pin is reset by clearing the
status register that caused the interrupt. If an interrupt occurs the various status registers from the unmasked flags must be checked
and then cleared.

Figure 5.10. Interrupt Pin Source Masking Options
The _FLG bits are “sticky” versions of the alarm bits and will stay high until cleared. An _FLG bit can be cleared by writing a zero to the
_FLG bit. When an _FLG bit is high and its corresponding alarm bit is low, the _FLG bit can be cleared.
During run time, the source of an interrupt can be determined by reading the _FLG register values and logically ANDing them with the
corresponding _MSK register bits (after inverting the _MSK bit values). If the result is a logic one, then the _FLG bit will cause an interrupt.
For example, if LOS_FLG[0] is high and LOS_INTR_MSK[0] is low, then the INTR pin will be active (low) and cause an interrupt. If
LOS[0] is zero and LOS_MSK[0] is one, writing a zero to LOS_MSK[0] will clear the interrupt (assuming that there are no other interrupt
sources). If LOS[0] is high, then LOS_FLG[0] and the interrupt cannot be cleared.

6.2 Performance Guidelines for Outputs
Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Output Clocks
Whenever a
number of high frequency, fast rise time, large amplitude signals are all close to one another, there will be some amount of
crosstalk. The jitter of the Si5342/44/45 is so low that crosstalk can become a significant portion of the final measured output jitter.
Some of the source of the crosstalk will be the Si5342/44/45 and some will be introduced by the PCB. It is difficult (and possibly irrelevant) to allocate the jitter portions between these two sources because the jitter can only be measured when a Si5342/44/45 is mounted
on a PCB.
For extra fine tuning and optimization in addition to following the usual PCB layout guidelines, crosstalk can be minimized by modifying
the arrangements of different output clocks. For example, consider the following lineup of output clocks in Table 6.2 Example of Output
Clock Frequency Sequencing Choice on page 34.
Table 6.2. Example of Output Clock Frequency Sequencing Choice
Using this example, a few guidelines are illustrated:
Avoid adjacent
frequency values that are close. A 155.52 MHz clock should not be next to a 156.25 MHz clock. If the jitter integration
bandwidth goes up to 20 MHz then keep adjacent frequencies at least 20 MHz apart.
Adjacent frequency values that are integer multiples of one another are acceptable, and these outputs should be grouped accordingly.
Noting that because 155.52 x 4 = 622.08 and 156.25 x 4 = 625, it is permissible to place these frequency values close to one another.
Unused outputs can be used to separate clock outputs that might otherwise interfere with one another. In this case, see OUT3 and
OUT7.
If some outputs have tight jitter requirements while others are relatively loose, rearrange the clock outputs so that the critical outputs are
the least susceptible to crosstalk. These guidelines typically only need to be followed by those applications that wish to achieve the
highest possible levels of jitter performance. Because CMOS outputs have large pk-pk swings, are single ended, and do not present a
balanced load to the VDDO supplies, CMOS outputs generate much more crosstalk than differential outputs. For this reason, CMOS
outputs should be avoided whenever possible. When CMOS is unavoidable, even greater care must be taken with respect to the above
guidelines. For more information on these issues, see AN862 “Optimizing Si534x Jitter Performance in Next Generation Internet Infrastructure Systems.”

6.3 Output Signal Format
Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Output Clocks
The differential
output swing and common mode voltage are both fully programmable covering a wide variety of signal formats including
LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL. For CML applications, see 18. Setting the Differential Output Driver to Non-Standard Amplitudes. The differential formats can be either normal or low power. Low power format uses less power for the same amplitude but has the drawback of
slower rise/fall times. The source impedance in low power format is much higher than 100 Ω. See 18. Setting the Differential Output
Driver to Non-Standard Amplitudes for register settings to implement variable amplitude differential outputs. In addition to supporting
differential signals, any of the outputs can be configured as LVCMOS (3.3, 2.5, or 1.8 V) drivers providing up to 20 single-ended outputs, or any combination of differential and single-ended outputs. Note also that CMOS output can create much more crosstalk than
differential outputs so extra care must be taken in their pin replacement so that other clocks that need the lowest jitter are not on nearby
pins. See “AN862: Optimizing Si534x Jitter Performance in Next Generation Internet Infrastructure Systems” for additional information.

Differential Normal Swing Mode—This is the usual selection for differential outputs and should be used, unless there is a specific reason to do otherwise. When an output driver is configured in normal swing mode, its output swing is selectable as one of 7 settings

tial. Any of the terminations shown in Figure 6.2 Supported Differential Output Terminations on page 36 are supported in this mode.
Differential High Swing Mode—When an output driver is configured in high swing mode, its output swing is configurable as one of 7

6.3.8 Output Driver Settings for LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, and CML
Each differential output has four settings for control:
• Normal or Low Power Format
Amplitude (sometimes called Swing)
•
• Common Mode Voltage
• Stop High or Stop Low
The normal Format setting has a 100 Ω internal resistor between the plus and minus output pins. The Low Power Format setting removes this 100 Ω internal resistor and then the differential output resistance will be
> 500 Ω. However as long as the termination impedance matches the differential impedance of the pcb traces the signal integrity across
the termination impedance will be good. For the same output amplitude the Low Power Format will use less power than the Normal
Format. The Low Power Format also has a lower rise/fall time than the Normal Format. See the Si5345/44/42 data sheet for the rise/fall
time specifications. For LVPECL and LVDS standards, ClockBuilder Pro does not support the Low Power Differential Format. Stop High
means that when the output driver is disabled the plus output will be high and the minus output will be low. Stop Low means that when
the output driver is disabled the plus output will be low and the minus output will be high.
The Format, Amplitude and Common Mode settings for the various supported standards are shown in Table 6.10 Settings for LVDS,
LVPECL, and HCSL on page 41.

Zero Delay Mode
7. Zero Delay Mode
A zero delay mode is available for applications that require fixed and consistent minimum delay between the selected input and outputs.
The zero delay mode is configured by opening the internal feedback loop through software configuration and closing the loop externally
as shown in Figure 7.1 Si5345 Zero Delay Mode Set-up on page 44. This helps to cancel out the internal delay introduced by the
dividers, the crosspoint, the input, and the output drivers. Any one of the outputs can be fed back to the FB_IN pins, although using the
output driver that achieves the shortest trace length will help to minimize the input-to-output delay. The OUT9 and FB_IN pins are recommended for the external feedback connection in the Si5345. OUT3 and FB_IN pins are recommended for the external feedback in
the Si5344. OUT1 or OUT2 are recommended with FB_IN in the Si5342. The FB_IN input pins must be terminated and ac-coupled
when zero delay mode is used. A differential external feedback path connection is necessary for best performance. For this reason,
customers should avoid using CMOS outputs for driving the external feedback path. Zero Delay Mode performance will degrade with
low values of phase detector frequency (Fpfd). For this reason, ClockBuilder Pro will not enable Zero Delay Mode with an Fpfd of less
than 128 kHz.
When the DSPLL is set for Zero-Delay Mode (ZDM), a hard reset request from either the RSTb pin or RST_REG register bit will have a
delay of ~750 ms before executing. Any subsequent register writes to the device should be made after this time expires or they will be
overwritten with the NVM values. Please contact Silicon Labs technical support for information on reducing this ZDM hard reset time.

Digitally-Controlled Oscillator (DCO) Mode
8. Digitally-Controlled Oscillator (DCO) Mode
An output that is controlled as a DCO is useful for simple tasks, such as frequency margining, CPU speed control, or just changing the
output frequency. The output can also be used for more sophisticated tasks, such as FIFO management, by adjusting the frequency of
the read or write clock to the FIFO or using the output as a variable Local Oscillator in a radio application.
The N dividers can be digitally controlled so that all outputs connected to the N divider change frequency in real time without any transition glitches. There are two ways to control the N divider :
Use the Frequency Increment/Decrement Pins or register bits.
Write directly to the numerator or denominator of the N divider.
The output N divider can be changed from its minimum value to its maximum value in very small fractional increments or in a single
large increment. Each N divider has a value of Nx_NUM/Nx_DEN. Nx_NUM is a 44-bit word, and Nx_DEN is a 32-bit word. Clockbuilder Pro left-shifts these values as far as possible before writing them to the actual Nx_NUM and Nx_DEN registers. For example, an
integer Nx divider of 30/1, when left shifted, becomes Nx_NUM=64424509440 (decimal) and Nx_DEN=2147483648 (decimal). By adjusting the size of the Nx_NUM and Nx_DEN but keeping the ratio the same, the resolution of the LSbit of numerator or denominator
can be controlled.
When changing the N divider(s) to fractional values, the setting name, N_PIBYP[4:0], must be a 0 for the N divider that is being
changed. This applies when using FINC/FDEC or when directly writing to the N divider. After changing N_PIBYP a soft reset must occur to update the part.

8.1 DCO with Frequency Increment/Decrement Pins/Bits
Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Digitally-Controlled Oscillator (DCO) Mode
The Nx_FSTEPW
(Frequency STEP Word) is a 44-bit word that is used to change the value of the Nx_NUM word. Whenever an FINC
or FDEC is asserted, the Nx_FSTEPW will automatically add or subtract from the Nx_NUM word so that the output frequency will, respectively, increment (FINC) or decrement (FDEC).
Each of the N dividers can be independently stepped up or down in numerical, predefined steps with a maximum resolution that varies
from ~ 0.05 ppb to a ~0.004 ppb depending upon the frequency plan. One or more N dividers can be controlled by FINC/FDEC at the
same time by use of the N_FSTEP_MSK bits. Any N divider that is masked by its corresponding bit in the N_FSTEP_MSK field will not
change when FINC or FDEC is asserted. The magnitude of the frequency change caused by FINC or FDEC is determined by the value
of the Nx_FSTEPW word and the magnitude of the word in Nx_NUM. For a specific frequency step size, it may be necessary to adjust
the Nx_NUM value while keeping the ratio of Nx_NUM/Nx_DEN the same. When the FINC or FDEC pin or register bit is asserted, the
selected N dividers will have their numerator changed by the addition or subtraction of the Nx_FSTEPW so that an FINC will increase
the output frequency, and an FDEC will decrease the output frequency. A FINC or FDEC can be followed by another FINC or FDEC in
1 μs minimum.
Because the output frequency = FVCO*Nx_DEN/(Rx*Nx_NUM), subsequent changes to Nx_NUM by the Nx_FSTEPW will not produce
exactly the same output frequency change. The amount of error in the frequency step is extremely small and, in a vast number of applications, will not cause a problem. When consecutive frequency steps must be exactly the same, it is possible to set FINC and FDEC to
change the Nx_DEN instead of Nx_NUM, and then, consecutive FINCs or FDECs will be exactly the same frequency change. However,
there are some special setups that are necessary to achieve this. For more information, contact Silicon Labs at https://www.silabs.com/
support/pages/contacttechnicalsupport.aspx.

8.2 DCO with Direct Register Writes
When an
N divider numerator (Nx_NUM) and its corresponding update bit (Nx_UPDATE) are written, the new numerator value will take
effect, and the output frequency will change without any glitches. The N divider numerator and denominator terms (Nx_NUM and
Nx_DEN) can be left- and right-shifted so that the least significant bit of the numerator word represents the exact step resolution that is
needed for your application. Each N divider has an update bit (Nx_UPDATE) that must be written to cause the written values to take
effect. All N dividers can be updated at the same time by writing the N_UPDATE_ALL bit. Writing this bit will NOT cause any output
glitching on an N divider that did not have its numerator or denominator changed.
When changing the N divider denominator (Nx_DEN), it is remotely possible that a small phase shift may occur at the exact time of the
frequency change. However, with the proper setup, it is possible to change Nx_DEN and never have a phase shift. If your application
requires changing an N divider denominator, contact Silicon Labs at https://www.silabs.com/support/pages/contacttechnicalsup-
port.aspx for support.

9. Serial interface
Configuration and operation of the Si5345/44/42 is controlled by reading and writing registers using the I2C or SPI interface. Both of
these serial interfaces are based on 8-bit addressing, which means that the page byte must be written every time you need to access a
different page in the register map. See the PAGE byte at register 0x0001 for more information. The I2C_SEL pin selects I2C or SPI
operation. The Si5345/44/42 supports communication with a 3.3 or 1.8 V host by setting the IO_VDD_SEL (0x0943[0]) configuration bit.
The SPI mode supports 4-wire or 3-wire by setting the SPI_3WIRE configuration bit.

IO_VDD_SEL0x0943[0]The IO_VDD_SEL bit determines whether the VDD or VDDA supply voltage is used for

description of this bit for additional details.
SPI_3WIRE0x002B[3]The SPI_3WIRE configuration bit selects the option of 4-wire or 3-wire SPI communica-
tion. By default, the SPI_3WIRE configuration bit is set to the 4-wire option. In this
mode, the Si5345/44/42 will accept write commands from a 4-wire or 3- wire SPI host
allowing configuration of device registers. For full bidirectional communication in 3-wire
mode, the host must write the SPI_3WIRE configuration bit to “1”.
If neither serial interface is used, leave pins I2C_SEL, A1/SDO, and A0/CS disconnected, and tie SDA/SDIO and SCLK low.

There is no limit to the number of data bytes that follow the Burst Write Command, but the address will wrap around to
zero in the byte after address 255 is written.
Writing or reading data consist of sending a “Set Address” command followed by a “Write Data” or “Read Data” command. The 'Write
Data + Address Increment' or “Read Data + Address Increment” commands are available for cases where multiple byte operations in
sequential address locations is necessary. The “Burst Write Data” instruction provides a compact command format for writing data
since it uses a single instruction to define starting address and subsequent data bytes. Figure 9.7 Example Writing Three Data Bytes
Using the Write Commands on page 54 shows an example of writing three bytes of data using the write commands. This demon-
strates that the “Write Burst Data” command is the most efficient method for writing data to sequential address locations. Figure
9.8 Example of Reading Three Data Bytes Using the Read Commands on page 54 provides a similar comparison for reading data
with the read commands. Note that there is no burst read, only read increment.

11.1 Performance of External References
An external standard non-pullable crystal (XTAL) is used in combination with the internal oscillator (OSC) to produce an ultra low jitter
reference clock for the DSPLL and for providing a stable reference for the free-run and holdover modes. A simplified diagram is shown
in Figure 11.1 Crystal Resonator and External Reference Clock Connection Options on page 59. The device includes internal XTAL
loading capacitors which eliminates the need for external capacitors and also has the benefit of reduced noise coupling from external
sources. Although the device includes built-in XTAL load capacitors (CL) of 8 pF, crystals with load capacitances up to 18 pF can also
be accommodated. See AN905: Si534x External References; Optimizing Performance for more information on the performance of various XO's with these devices. The recommended crystal suppliers are listed in the Si534x/8x Jitter Attenuators Recommended Crystal,

Figure 11.2 Clipped Sine Wave TCXO Output on page 60 shows the recommended method of connecting a clipped sine wave TCXO to the Si5345/44/42. Because the Si5345/44/42 provides dc bias at the XA and XB pins, the
~800 mV peak-peak swing can be input directly into the XA interface of the Si5345/44/42 once it has been ac-coupled. Because the
signal is single-ended, the XB input is ac-coupled to ground. Note that when using a single-ended XO, the XO signal must be driven on
XA. If XA is not driven, the device will report an LOSXAXB alarm. Figure 11.3 CMOS TCXO Output on page 60 illustrates the recommended method of connecting a CMOS rail-to-rail output to the XA/XB inputs of the Si5345/44/42. The resistor network attenuates the
rail-to-rail output swing to ensure that the maximum input voltage swing at the XA pin is less than 1.6 V pk-pk. The signal is ac-coupled
before connecting it to the Si5345/44/42 XA input.
If an external oscillator is used as the XA/XB reference, it is important to use a very low phase noise external oscillator because there is
essentially no jitter attenuation (up to 1 MHz) from the XA/XB pins to the outputs. Before selecting an external oscillator at XA/XB, it is
important to first test the output jitter to determine if the output jitter degradation from the use of the external oscillator is acceptable.
To achieve the lowest output jitter the best approach is usually to use a crystal in the range of 48–54 MHz at XA/XB.

The Si5345/44/42 can also accommodate an external reference clock (REFCLK) instead of a crystal. Selection between the external
XTAL or REFCLK is controlled by XAXB_EXTCLK_EN, the LSB of register 0x090E. The internal crystal loading capacitors (CL) are
disabled when an external clock source is selected. A PXAXB prescale divider is available to accommodate external clock frequencies
higher than 125 MHz as shown in 11.2 Recommended Crystals and External Oscillators. For best jitter performance, keep the REFCLK
frequency above 40 MHz. To minimize jitter at the XA/XB pins, the rise time of the XA/XB signals should be as fast as possible. Though
clipped sine wave TCXOs can be used, they are not recommended because the output jitter will increase compared to a TCXO with a
CMOS output.
For applications with loop BW values less than 10 Hz that require low wander output clocks, using a TCXO as the XA/XB reference
source should be considered to avoid the wander of a crystal. For more infomation on recommended crystals, TCXOs and guidance for
their use, see "AN1093: Achieving Low Jitter Using an Oscillator Reference with the Si5342-47 Jitter Attenuators", "AN905: Si534x Ex-

Crystal and Device Circuit Layout Recommendations
12. Crystal and Device Circuit Layout Recommendations
The main layout issues that should be carefully considered include the following:
•
Number and size of the ground vias for the Epad
• Output clock trace routing
• Input clock trace routing
• Control and Status signals to input or output clock trace coupling
• Xtal signal coupling
• Xtal layout (See 12.1.2 Si5345 Crystal Guidelines and 12.2.2 Si5342/44 Crystal Guidelines for important crystal layout guidelines.)
If the application uses a crystal for the XAXB inputs a shield should be placed underneath the crystal connected to the X1 and X2 pins
to provide the best possible performance. The shield should not be connected to the ground plane and the planes underneath should
have as little under the shield as possible. It may be difficult to do this for all the layers, but it is important to do this for the layers that
are closest to the shield.
12.1 64-Pin QFN Si5345 Layout Recommendations
This section details the recommended guidelines for the crystal layout of the 64-pin Si5345 device using an example 8-layer PCB. The
following are the descriptions of each of the eight layers.
Figure 12.1 64-pin Si5345 Crystal Layout Recommendations Top Layer (Layer 1) on page 63 is the top layer layout of the Si5345
device mounted on the top PCB layer. This particular layout was designed to implement either a crystal or an external oscillator as the
XA/XB reference. The crystal/ oscillator area is outlined with the white box around it. In this case, the top layer is flooded with ground.
Note that this layout has a resistor in series with each pin of the crystal. In typical applications, these resistors should be removed.
12.1.1 Si5345 Applications without a Crystal
For applications that do not use a crystal, leave X1 and X2 pins as “no connect”. Do not tie to ground. There is no need for a crystal
shield or the voids underneath the shield. The XA/XB connection should be treated as a high speed critical path that is ac-coupled and
terminated at the end of the etch run. The layout should minimize the stray capacitance from the XA pin to the XB pin. Jitter is very
critical at the XAXB pins and therefore split termination and differential signaling should be used whenever possible.
silabs.com | Building a more connected world.Rev. 1.3 | 62
12.1.2 Si5345 Crystal Guidelines
The following are five recommended crystal guidelines:
1. Place the crystal as close as possible to the XA/XB pins.
2. DO NOT connect the crystal's GND pins to PCB gnd.
Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Crystal and Device Circuit Layout Recommendations
3. Connect
the crystal's GND pins to the DUT's X1 and X2 pins via a local crystal GND shield placed around and under the crystal. See
Figure 12.1 64-pin Si5345 Crystal Layout Recommendations Top Layer (Layer 1) on page 63 at the bottom left for an illustration of
how to create a crystal GND shield by placing vias connecting the top layer traces to the shield layer underneath. Note that a zoom
view of the crystal shield layer on the next layer down is shown in Figure 12.2 Zoom View Crystal Shield Layer, Below the Top Layer
(Layer 2) on page 64.
4. Minimize traces adjacent to the crystal/oscillator area especially if they are clocks or frequently toggling digital signals.
5. In general do not route GND, power planes/traces, or locate components on the other side, below the crystal GND shield. As an
exception if it is absolutely necessary to use the area on the other side of the board for layout or routing, then place the next reference
plane in the stack-up at least two layers away or at least 0.05 inches away. The Si5345 should have all layers underneath the ground
shield removed if possible.

ground. The clock output pins go to layer 2 using vias to avoid crosstalk during transit. When the clock output signals are on layer 2
there is a ground shield above, below and on all sides for protection. Output clocks should always be routed on an internal layer with
ground reference planes directly above and below. The plane that has the routing for the output clocks should have ground flooded
near the clock traces to further isolate the clocks from noise and other signals.

It is recommended to use a 0402 1 μF ceramic capacitor on each power supply pin for optimal performance. If the supply voltage is
extremely noisy, it might be necessary to use a ferrite bead in series between the supply voltage and the power supply pin.

silabs.com | Building a more connected world.Rev. 1.3 | 78
13.3 Power Supply Sequencing
Four classes of supply voltages exist on the Si5345/44/42:
VDD = 1.8 V ± 5% (Core digital supply)
VDDA = 3.3 V ± 5% (Analog supply)
VDDOx = 1.8/2.5/3.3 V ± 5% (Clock output supply)
VDDS = 1.8/3.3 V ± 5% (Digital I/O supply)
Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Power Management
There is
no requirement for power supply sequencing unless the output clocks are required to be phase aligned with each other. In this
case, the VDDO of each clock which needs to be aligned must be powered up before VDD and VDDA. VDDS has no effect on output
clock alignment.
If output-to-output alignment is required for applications where it is not possible to properly sequence the power supplies, then the output clocks can be aligned by asserting the SOFT_RST 0x001C[0] or Hard Reset 0x001E[1] register bits or driving the RSTB pin. Note
that using a hard reset will reload the register with the contents of the NVM and any unsaved changes will be lost.
Note: One may observe that when powering up the VDD = 1.8 V rail first, that the VDDA = 3.3 V rail will initially follow the 1.8 V rail.
Likewise, if the VDDA rail is powered down first then it will not drop far below VDD until VDD itself is powered down. This is due to the
pad I/O circuits which have large MOSFET switches to select the local supply from either the VDD or VDDA rails. These devices are
relatively large and yield a parasitic diode between VDD and VDDA. Please allow for both VDD and VDDA to power-up and powerdown before measuring their respective voltages.
13.4 Grounding Vias
The pad on the bottom of the device functions as both the sole electrical ground and primary heat transfer path. Hence it is important to
minimize the inductance and maximize the heat transfer from this pad to the internal ground plane of the PCB. Use no fewer than 25
vias from the center pad to a ground plane under the device. In general, more vias will perform better. Having the ground plane near the
top layer will also help to minimize the via inductance from the device to ground and maximize the heat transfer away from the device.

Si5345 Register Map
14. Si5345 Register Map
14.1 Base vs. Factory Preprogrammed Devices
The Si5345/44/42 devices can be ordered as “base” or “factory-preprogrammed” (also known as “custom OPN”) versions.
14.1.1 “Base” Devices (a.k.a. “Blank” Devices)
Example “base” orderable part numbers (OPNs) are of the form “Si5345A-D-GM” or “Si5344B-D-GM”.
Base devices are available for applications where volatile reads and writes are used to program and configure the device for a particular application.
Base devices do not power up in a usable state (all output clocks are disabled).
Base devices are, however, configured by default to use a 48 MHz crystal on the XA/XB reference and a 1.8 V compatible I/O voltage
setting for the host I2C/SPI interface.
Additional programming of a base device is mandatory to achieve a usable configuration.
See the on-line lookup utility at: www.silabs.com/products/clocksoscillators/clock-generator/Pages/clockbuilder-lookup.aspx to access
the default configuration plan and register settings for any base OPN.
Factory preprogammed devices use a “custom OPN”, such as Si5345A-D-xxxxx-GM, where xxxxx is a sequence of characters assigned by Silicon Labs for each customer-specific configuration. These characters are referred to as the “OPN ID”. Customers must
initiate custom OPN creation using the ClockBuilder Pro software.
Many customers prefer to order devices which are factory preprogrammed for a particular application that includes specifying the XAXB
reference frequency/type, the clock input frequencies, the clock output frequencies, as well as the other options, such as automatic
clock selection, loop BW, etc. The ClockBuilder software is required to select among all of these options and to produce a project file
which Silicon Labs uses to preprogram all devices with custom orderable part number (“custom OPN”).
Custom OPN devices contain all of the initialization information in their non-volatile memory (NVM) so that it powers up fully configured
and ready to go.
Because preprogrammed device applications are inherently quite different from one another, the default power up values of the register
settings can be determined using the custom OPN utility at: www.silabs.com/products/clocksoscillators/clock-generator/Pages/clock-
builder-lookup.aspx.
Custom OPN devices include a device top mark which includes the unique OPN ID. Refer to the device data sheet's Ordering Guide
and Top Mark sections for more details.
Both “base” and “factory preprogrammed” devices can have their operating configurations changed at any time using volatile reads and
writes to the registers. Both types of devices can also have their current register configuration written to the NVM by executing an NVM
bank burn sequence (see 4.3 NVM Programming.)

Each output can be configured to use Multisynth N0-N4 divider. The frequency for each N-divider is set in registers 0x0302–0x0337 for
N0 to N4. Five different frequencies can be set in the N-dividers (N0–N4) and each of the 10 outputs can be configured to any of the
five different frequencies.
The 10 output drivers are all identical. The single set of descriptions above for output driver 0 applies to the other 9 output drivers.
