Ultra Series™ Crystal Oscillator
Si540 Data Sheet
Ultra Low Jitter Any-Frequency XO (125 fs), 0.2 to 1500 MHz
KEY FEATURES
The Si540 Ultra Series™ oscillator utilizes Silicon Laboratories’ advanced 4th
generation DSPLL® technology to provide an ultra-low jitter, low phase noise clock
at any output frequency. The device is factory-programmed to any frequency from
0.2 to 1500 MHz with 6 digits
Notes:
1. Contact Silicon Labs for non-standard configurations.
2. Total stability includes temp stability, initial accuracy, load pulling, VDD variation, and 20 year aging at 70 °C.
3. For example: 156.25 MHz = 156M250; 25 MHz = 25M0000. Create custom part numbers at www.silabs.com/oscillators.

4. All dimensions shown are at Maximum Material Condition (MMC). Least Material Condition (LMC) is calculated based on a
Fabrication Allowance of 0.05 mm.
Solder Mask Design
1. All metal pads are to be non-solder mask defined (NSMD). Clearance between the solder mask and the metal pad is to be 60 µm
minimum, all the way around the pad.
Stencil Design
1. A stainless steel, laser-cut and electro-polished stencil with trapezoidal walls should be used to assure good solder paste release.
2. The stencil thickness should be 0.125 mm (5 mils).
3. The ratio of stencil aperture to land pad size should be 1:1.
Card Assembly
1. A No-Clean, Type-3 solder paste is recommended.
2. The recommended card reflow profile is per the JEDEC/IPC J-STD-020C specification for Small Body Components.
