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.

ClockBuilder Pro is a
software tool that is used for the Si5345/44/42 family and other product families, capable of configuring the timing chip in an intuitive, easy-to-use, step-by-step process. 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 a device or written to the EVB and a custom part number can be created. This is all done with one software tool. ClockBuilder Pro inte­grates all the data sheets, application notes and information that might be helpful in one environment. It is intended that customers will use the software tool for the proper configuration of the device. Register map descriptions given in the document should not be the only source of information for programming the device. The complexity of the algorithms is embedded in the software tool.

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
Table 3.1. PLL Bandwidth Registers
Register Name Hex Address [Bit Field] Function
BWx_PLL 0x0508[7:0]-0x050D[7:0] Determines the loop BW for the DSPLL. This is set by CBPro. See CBPro for a
correlation of bandwidths and values.

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.
Table 3.2. Fastlock Registers
Register Name Hex Address [Bit Field] Function
FASTLOCK_AUTO_EN 0x052B[0] Auto Fastlock Enable/Disable
FASTLOCK_MAN 0x052B[1] 0 for normal operation,
1 to force fast lock
FASTLOCK_BW_PLL 0x050E[7:0]-0x0513[7:0] Fastlock BW selection.
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.
Table 3.3. DSPLL Holdover Exit Bandwidth Registers
Register Name Hex Address Function
HOLDEXIT_BW 0x059D–0x05A2 Determines the Holdover Exit BW for the DSPLL. Parameters are generated by

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:

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.

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.

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.
Table 5.1. Input Selection Configuration
Register Name Hex Address
[Bit Field]
CLK_SWITCH_MODE 0x0536[1:0] Selects manual or automatic switching modes. Automatic mode can be revertive or
non-revertive. Selections are the following:
00 Manual,01 Automatic non-revertive
02 Automatic revertive, 03 Reserved
IN_SEL_REGCTRL 0x052A [0] 0 for pin controlled clock selection
1 for register controlled clock selection
IN_SEL 0x052A [2:1] 0 for IN0, 1 for IN1,
2 for IN2, 3 for IN3 (or FB_IN)

5.1.1 Manual Input Switching

In manual mode, CLK_SWITCH_MODE=0x00.
Input switching 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.

In automatic mode CLK_SWITCH_MODE = 0x01 (non-revertive) or 0x02 (revertive)
Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
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.

Input clock buffers are enabled by setting the IN_EN 0x0949[3:0] bits appropriately for IN3 through IN0. Unused clock inputs may be powered down and left unconnected at the system level. For standard mode inputs, both input pins must be properly connected as shown in Figure 5.1 Input Termination for Standard and Pulsed CMOS Inputs on page 21 above, including the “Standard AC Coupled Single Ended” case. In Pulsed CMOS mode, it is not necessary to connect the inverting INx input pin. To place the input buffer into Pulsed CMOS mode, the corresponding bit must be set in IN_PULSED_CMOS_EN 0x0949[7:4] for IN3 through IN0.

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.

Function dress [Bit Field]
HSW_EN 0x0536[2] Hitless switching is enabled = 1, or disabled = 0.

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.

It is the Si5342/44/45 will attenuate a good portion of the jitter that is associated with a slow rise time clock input, if the slew rate is low enough, the output jitter will increase. The following figure shows the effect of a low slew rate on RMS jitter for a differential clock input.

5.3.1 Input Loss of Signal (LOS) Fault Detection

Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Clock Inputs
The loss
of signal monitor measures the period of each input clock cycle to detect phase irregularities or missing clock edges. Each of 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 by the user.

Figure 5.5. LOS Status Indicators
A LOS monitor is also available to ensure that the external crystal or reference clock is valid. By default the output clocks are disabled when LOSXAXB is detected. This feature can be disabled such that the device will continue to produce output clocks even when LOS­XAXB is detected. Single-ended inputs must be connected to the XA input pin with the XB pin terminated properly for LOSXAXB to function correctly. The table below lists the loss of signal status indicators and fault monitoring control registers.

5.3.2 Out of Frequency (OOF) Fault Detection

Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Clock Inputs
Each input
clock is monitored for frequency accuracy with respect to an OOF reference which it considers as its 0 ppm reference. This
OOF reference can be selected as either:
XA/XB pins
Any input clock (IN0, IN1, IN2, IN3)
The final OOF status is determined by the combination of both a precise OOF monitor and a fast OOF monitor as shown in Figure 9. An option to disable either monitor is also available. The live OOF register always displays the current OOF state and its sticky register bit stays asserted until cleared.

Figure 5.6. OOF Status Indicator
The Precision OOF monitor circuit measures the frequency of all input clocks to within up to ±0.0625 ppm accuracy with respect to the selected OOF frequency reference. A valid input clock frequency is one that remains within the register-programmable OOF frequency range of from ±0.0625 ppm to ±512 ppm in steps of 1/16 ppm. A configurable amount of hysteresis is also available to prevent the OOF status from toggling at the failure boundary. An example is shown in the figure below. In this case, the OOF monitor is configured with a valid frequency range of ±6 ppm and with 2 ppm of hysteresis. An option to use one of the input pins (IN0–IN3) as the 0 ppm OOF reference instead of the XAXB pins is available. These options are all register configurable.

Table 5.8 Out-of-Frequency Status Monitoring and Control Registers on page 27 lists
the OOF monitoring and control registers. Be­cause the precision OOF monitor needs to provide 1/16 ppm of frequency measurement accuracy, it must measure the monitored input clock frequencies over a relatively long period of time. This may be too slow to detect an input clock that is quickly ramping in frequen­cy. An additional level of OOF monitoring called the Fast OOF monitor runs in parallel with the precision OOF monitors to quickly detect a ramping input frequency. The Fast OOF responds more quickly and has larger thresholds.

5.3.3 Loss of Lock (LOL) Fault Monitoring

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 fast assert 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.

5.4 Interrupt (INTR) Monitoring

Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Clock Inputs
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
Output Not Recommended (Frequency MHz) Recommended (Frequency MHz)
0 155.52 155.52
1 156.25 155.52
2 155.52 622.08
3 156.25 Not used
4 200 156.25
5 100 156.25
6 622.08 625
7 625 Not used
8 Not used 200
9 Not used 100
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.

6.3.2 Differential Output Swing Modes

Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Output Clocks
There are unique mode.
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 ranging from 200 mVpp_se to 800 mVpp_se in increments of 100 mV. Table 6.4 Differential Output Voltage Swing Control Registers on
page 37 lists the registers that control the output voltage swing. The output impedance in the Normal Swing Mode is 100 Ω differen-
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 settings ranging from 400 mVpp_se to 1600 mVpp_se in increments of 200 mV. The output driver is in high impedance mode and sup­ports standard 50 Ω PCB traces. Any of the terminations shown in Figure 6.2 Supported Differential Output Terminations on page 36 are supported. The use of High Swing mode will result in larger pk-pk output swings that draw less power. The trade off will be slower rise and fall times.

6.3.5 LVCMOS Output Impedance and Drive Strength Selection

Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Output Clocks
Each LVCMOS
driver has a configurable output impedance to accommodate different trace impedances and drive strengths. A source termination resistor is recommended to help match the selected output impedance to the trace impedance. There are three programma­ble output impedance selections for each VDDO option as shown in Table 6.6 Output Impedance and Drive Strength Selections on
page 39. The value for the OUTx_CMOS_DRIVE bits are given.

6.3.6 LVCMOS Output Signal Swing

The signal
swing (VOL/VOH) of the LVCMOS output drivers is set by the voltage on the VDDO pins. Each output driver has its own
VDDO pin allowing a unique output voltage swing for each of the LVCMOS drivers.

6.3.7 LVCMOS Output Polarity

Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Output Clocks
When a
driver is configured as an LVCMOS output it generates a clock signal on both pins (OUTx and OUTxb). By default, the clock on the OUTx pin is generated with the same polarity (in phase) with the clock on the OUTxb pin. The polarity of these clocks is configura­ble enabling complimentary clock generation and/or inverted polarity with respect to other output drivers.

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.

The OE
pin provides a convenient method of disabling or enabling the output drivers. When the OE pin is held high all outputs will be disabled. When the pin is not driven, the device defaults to all outputs on. Outputs in the enabled state can be individually disabled through register control. If the pin is high register control is disabled and all outputs will be disabled.

6.4.2 Synchronous Output Disable Feature

Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Output Clocks
The output
drivers provide a selectable synchronous disable feature. Output drivers with this feature turned on will wait until a clock period has completed before the driver is disabled. This prevents unwanted runt pulses from occurring when disabling an output. When this feature is turned off, the output clock will disable immediately without waiting for the period to complete. The default state is for the synchronous output disable to be turned off.

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_SEL 0x0943[0] The IO_VDD_SEL bit determines whether the VDD or VDDA supply voltage is used for
the serial port, control pins, and status pins voltage references. See the register map description of this bit for additional details.
SPI_3WIRE 0x002B[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.

9.1 I2C Interface

Si5345, Si5344, Si5342 Rev. D Family Reference Manual
Serial interface
When in Fast-Mode (400 kbps) and supports burst data transfer with auto address increments. The I2C bus consists of a bidirectional serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock input (SCL) as shown in Figure 9.4 I2C Write Operation on page 51. Both the SDA and SCL pins must be connected to a supply via an external pull-up (4.7 kΩ) as recommended by the I2C specification as shown in Figure 9.2 I2C Configu-
ration on page 51. Two address select bits (A0, A1) are provided allowing up to four Si5345/44/42 devices to communicate on the
same bus. This also allows four choices in the I2C address for systems that may have other overlapping addresses for other I2C devi­ces.

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.

XA/XB External References

11. XA/XB External References

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,

The Si5345/44/42 accepts a clipped sine wave, CMOS, or differential reference clock on the XA/XB interface. Most clipped sine wave and CMOS
TCXOs have insufficient drive strength to drive a 100 Ω or 50 Ω load. For this reason, place the TCXO as close to the Si5345/44/42 as possible to minimize PCB trace length. In addition, ensure that both the Si5345/44/42 and the TCXO are both connec­ted directly to the ground plane. 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.
Layer 1: device layer, with low speed CMOS control/status signals, ground flooded
Layer 2: crystal shield
Layer 3: ground plane
Layer 4: power distribution, ground flooded
Layer 5: power routing layer
Layer 6: ground input clocks, ground flooded
Layer 7: output clocks layer
Layer 8: ground layer
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.

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.

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.

that immediately go to a buried layer with a ground plane above them and a ground flooded bottom layer. There is a ground flooding between the clock output pairs to avoid crosstalk. There should be a line of vias through the ground flood on either side of the output clocks to ensure that the ground flood immediately next to the differential pairs has a low inductance path to the ground plane on layers 3 and 6.

12.2 44-Pin QFN Si5344/42 Layout Recommendations

This section details the layout recommendations for the 44-pin Si5344 and Si5342 devices using an example 6-layer PCB.
The following guidelines details images of a six layer board with the following stack:
Layer 1: device layer, with low speed CMOS control/status signals, ground flooded
Layer 2: crystal shield, output clocks, ground flooded
Layer 3: ground plane
Layer 4: power distribution, ground flooded
Layer 5: input clocks, ground flooded
Layer 6: low-speed CMOS control/status signals, ground flooded
This layout
was designed to implement either a crystal or an external oscillator as the XAXB reference. The top layer is flooded with 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.

application does not use a crystal, then the X1 and X2 pins should be left as “no connect” and should not be tied to ground. In
If the addition, there is no need for a crystal shield or the voids underneath the shield. If there is a differential external clock input on XAXB there should be a termination circuit near the XA and XB pins. This termination circuit should be two 50 Ω resistors and one 0.1 μF cap connected in the same manner as on the other clock inputs (IN0, IN1 and IN2). The clock input on XA/XB must be ac-coupled. Care should be taken to keep all clock inputs well isolated from each other as well as any other dynamic signal.

13.2 Power Supply Recommendations

The power chip regulation to minimize the impact of board level noise on clock jitter. Following conventional power supply filtering and layout tech­niques will further minimize signal degradation from the power supply.
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.
supply filtering generally is important for optimal timing performance. The Si5345/44/42 devices have multiple stages of on-
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.

14.1.2 “Factory Preprogrammed” (Custom OPN) Devices

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.)

family has a large register map and is divided into separate pages. Each page contains a total of 256 registers, al­though all 256 registers are not used. Register 1 on each page is reserved to indicate the page and register 0x00FE is reserved for the device ready status. The following is a summary of the content that can be found on each of the pages. Note any page that is not listed is not used for the device. Do not attempt to write to registers that have not been described in this document, even if they are accessi­ble. Note that the default value will depend on the values loaded into NVM, which is determined by the part number.
Where not provided in the register map information below, you can get the default values of the register map settings by accessing the Silicon Labs part number lookup utility. Register map settings values are listed in the datasheet addendum, which can also be accessed by using the link above.The register maps are broken out for the Si5345, Si5344, and Si5342 separately.
