Description
The Si5351 is an I2C configurable clock generator that is ideally suited for
replacing crystals, crystal oscillators, VCXOs, phase-locked loops (PLLs), and
fanout buffers in cost-sensitive applications.
Based on a PLL/VCXO + high resolution MultiSynth fractional divider
architecture, the Si5351 can generate any frequency up to 200 MHz on each of
its outputs with 0 ppm error. Three versions of the Si5351 are available to meet a
wide variety of applications.
The Si5351A generates up to 8 free-running clocks using an internal oscillator
for replacing crystals and crystal oscillators. The Si5351B adds an internal
VCXO and provides the flexibility to replace both free-running clocks and
synchronous clocks. It eliminates the need for higher cost, custom pullable
crystals while providing reliable operation over a wide tuning range. The
Si5351C offers the same flexibility but synchronizes to an external reference
clock (CLKIN).

Notes:
1. Crystals which require load capacitances of 6, 8, or 10 pF should use the device’s internal load capacitance for
optimum performance. See register 183 bits 7:6. A crystal with a 12 pF load capacitance requirement should use a
combination of the internal 10 pF load capacitance in addition to external 2 pF load capacitance (e.g., by using 4 pF
capacitors on XA and XB).

Si5351A/B/C-B
4. Functional Description
The Si5351 is a versatile I2C programmable clock generator that is ideally suited for replacing crystals, crystal
oscillators, VCXOs, PLLs, and buffers. A block diagram showing the general architecture of the Si5351 is shown in
Figure 1. The device consists of an input stage, two synthesis stages, and an output stage.
The input stage accepts an external crystal (XTAL), a control voltage input (VC), or a clock input (CLKIN)
depending on the version of the device (A/B/C). The first stage of synthesis multiplies the input frequencies to an
high-frequency intermediate clock, while the second stage of synthesis uses high resolution MultiSynth fractional
dividers to generate the desired output frequencies. Additional integer division is provided at the output stage for
generating output frequencies as low as 2.5 kHz. Crosspoint switches at each of the synthesis stages allows total
flexibility in routing any of the inputs to any of the outputs.
Because of this high resolution and flexible synthesis architecture, the Si5351 is capable of generating
synchronous or free-running non-integer related clock frequencies at each of its outputs, enabling one device to
synthesize clocks for multiple clock domains in a design.

Si5351A/B/C-B
4.1. Input Stage
4.1.1. Crystal Inputs (XA, XB)
The Si5351 uses a fixed-frequency standard AT-cut crystal as a reference to the internal oscillator. The output of
the oscillator can be used to provide a free-running reference to one or both of the PLLs for generating
asynchronous clocks. The output frequency of the oscillator will operate at the crystal frequency, either 25 MHz or
27 MHz. The crystal is also used as a reference to the VCXO to help maintain its frequency accuracy.
Internal load capacitors are provided to eliminate the need for external components when connecting a crystal to
the Si5351. The total internal XTAL load capacitance (CL) can be selected to be 0, 6, 8, or 10 pF. Crystals with
alternate load capacitance requirements are supported using additional external load capacitance 2 pF (e.g., by
using 4 pF capacitors on XA and XB) as shown in Figure 2. Refer to application note AN551 for crystal
recommendations.

4.1.2. External Clock Input (CLKIN)
The external clock input is used as a clock reference for the PLLs when generating synchronous clock outputs.
CLKIN can accept any frequency from 10 to 100 MHz. A divider at the input stage limits the PLL input frequency to
30 MHz.
4.1.3. Voltage Control Input (VC)
The VCXO architecture of the Si5351B eliminates the need for an external pullable crystal. Only a standard, lowcost, fixed-frequency (25 or 27 MHz) AT-cut crystal is required.
The tuning range of the VCXO is configurable allowing for a wide variety of applications. Key advantages of the
VCXO design in the Si5351 include high linearity, a wide operating range (linear from 10 to 90% of VDD), and
reliable startup and operation. Refer to Table 5 on page 9 for VCXO specification details.
A unique feature of the Si5351B is its ability to generate multiple output frequencies controlled by the same control
voltage applied to the VC pin. This replaces multiple PLLs or VCXOs that would normally be locked to the same
reference. An example is illustrated in Figure 3 on page 16.

Si5351A/B/C-B
4.2. Synthesis Stages
The Si5351 uses two stages of synthesis to generate its final output clocks. The first stage uses PLLs to multiply
the lower frequency input references to a high-frequency intermediate clock. The second stage uses highresolution MultiSynth fractional dividers to generate the required output frequencies. Only two unique frequencies
above 112.5 MHz can be simultaneously output. For example, 125 MHz (CLK0), 130 MHz (CLK1), and 150 MHz
(CLKx) is not allowed. Note that multiple copies of frequencies above 112.5 MHz can be provided, for example,
125 MHz could be provided on four outputs (CLKS0-3) simultaneously with 130 MHz on four different outputs
(CLKS4-7).
A crosspoint switch at the input of the first stage allows each of the PLLs to lock to the CLKIN or the XTAL input.
This allows each of the PLLs to lock to a different source for generating independent free-running and synchronous
clocks. Alternatively, both PLLs could lock to the same source. The crosspoint switch at the input of the second
stage allows any of the MultiSynth dividers to connect to PLLA or PLLB. This flexible synthesis architecture allows
any of the outputs to generate synchronous or non-synchronous clocks, with spread spectrum or without spread
spectrum, and with the flexibility of generating non-integer related clock frequencies at each output.
All VCXO outputs are generated by PLLB only. The Multisynth high-resolution dividers synthesizes the VCXO
output’s center frequency up to 112.5 MHz. The center frequency is then controlled (or pulled) by the VC input. An
interesting feature of the Si5351 is that the VCXO output can be routed to more than one MultiSynth divider. This
creates a VCXO with multiple output frequencies controlled from one VC input as shown in Figure 3.
Frequencies down to 2.5 kHz can be generated by applying the R divider at the output of the Multisynth (see
Figure 3 below).

Si5351A/B/C-B
4.3. Output Stage
An additional level of division (R) is available at the output stage for generating clocks as low as 2.5 kHz. All output
drivers generate CMOS level outputs with separate output voltage supply pins (VDDOx) allowing a different voltage
signal level (1.8, 2.5, or 3.3 V) at each of the four 2-output banks.
4.4. Spread Spectrum
Spread spectrum can be enabled on any of the clock outputs that use PLLA as its reference. Spread spectrum is
useful for reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI). Enabling spread spectrum on an output clock modulates its
frequency, which effectively reduces the overall amplitude of its radiated energy. Note that spread spectrum is not
available on clocks synchronized to PLLB or to the VCXO.
Spread spectrum can be set to “Always Enabled” when creating a custom part in ClockBuilder Pro. The Si5351A/B
variants also have a SSEN control pin. See "4.5.2. Spread Spectrum Enable (SSEN)—Si5351A and Si5351B Only"
on page 17 for more details.
The Si5351 supports several levels of spread spectrum allowing the designer to chose an ideal compromise
between system performance and EMI compliance.

4.5. Control Pins (OEB, SSEN)
The Si5351 offers control pins for enabling/disabling clock outputs and spread spectrum.
4.5.1. Output Enable (OEB)
The output enable pin allows enabling or disabling outputs clocks. Output clocks are enabled when the OEB pin is
held low, and disabled when pulled high. When disabled, the output state is configurable as output high, output low,
or high-impedance.
The output enable control circuitry ensures glitchless operation by starting the output clock cycle on the first leading
edge after OEB is pulled low. When OEB is pulled high, the clock is allowed to complete its full clock cycle before
going into a disabled state.
4.5.2. Spread Spectrum Enable (SSEN)—Si5351A and Si5351B Only
This control pin allows disabling the spread spectrum feature for all outputs that were configured with spread
spectrum enabled. Hold SSEN low to disable spread spectrum. The SSEN pin provides a convenient method of
evaluating the effect of using spread spectrum clocks during EMI compliance testing.
4.6. Status Pins (INTR)
The Si5351C, in the 20-QFN package, includes an interrupt pin (INTR). This is an open drain status pin, requiring a
4.7 k pullup resistor to Vdd. The pin will be pulled low when the Si5351C encounters an interrupt, such as crystal
reference loss, external input clock loss, or loss-of-lock on either PLLA or PLLB.
ClockBuilder Pro will automatically configure the interrupt mask when a frequency plan is created, so irrelevant
interrupts are ignored. For example, if a frequency plan does not use PLLB, the LOL_B interrupt will not cause the
INTR pin to go low. The interrupt status registers can be viewed at any time through I2C to get more details on the
type of interrupt thrown. For more information on the status registers and the mask registers, see “AN619:
Manually Generating an Si5351 Register Map” for 10MSOP and 20-QFN devices” or “AN1234: Manually
Generating a Si5351 Register Map for 16-QFN Devices”.

The I2C interface operates in slave mode with 7-bit addressing and can operate in Standard-Mode (100 kbps) or
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 5.
Both the SDA and SCL pins must be connected to the VDD supply via an external pull-up as recommended by the
I2C specification.

6. Configuring the Si5351
The Si5351 is a highly flexible clock generator which is entirely configurable through its I2C interface. The device’s
default configuration is stored in non-volatile memory (NVM) as shown in Figure 9. The NVM is a one time
programmable memory (OTP) which can store a custom user configuration at power-up. This is a useful feature for
applications that need a clock present at power-up (e.g., for providing a clock to a processor).

Figure 9. Si5351 Memory Configuration
During a power cycle the contents of the NVM are copied into random access memory (RAM), which sets the
device configuration that will be used during normal operation. Any changes to the device configuration after
power-up are made by reading and writing to registers in the RAM space through the I2C interface.
6.1. Writing a Custom Configuration to RAM
To simplify device configuration, Skyworks Solutions has released the ClockBuilder Pro. The software serves two
purposes: to configure the Si5351 with optimal configuration based on the desired frequencies and to control the
EVB when connected to a host PC.
The optimal configuration can be saved from the software in text files that can be used in any system, which
configures
the
device
over
I2C.

can
be
downloaded
from
https://www.skyworksinc.com/en/application-pages/clockbuilder-pro-software
Once the configuration file has been saved, the device can be programmed via I2C by following the steps shown in
Figure 10.

6.2. Si5351 Application Examples
The Si5351 is a versatile clock generator which serves a wide variety of applications. The following examples show
how it can be used to replace crystals, crystal oscillators, VCXOs, and PLLs.
6.3. Replacing Crystals and Crystal Oscillators
Using an inexpensive external crystal, the Si5351A can generate up to 8 different free-running clock frequencies
for replacing crystals and crystal oscillators. A 4-output with separate VDDO for each output and a 3-output version
are also available in small 16-QFN and 10-MSOP packages, respectively, for applications that require fewer
clocks. An example is shown in Figure 11.

6.5. Replacing Crystals, Crystal Oscillators, and PLLs
The Si5351C generates synchronous clocks for applications that require a fully integrated PLL instead of a VCXO.
Because of its dual PLL architecture, the Si5351C is capable of generating both synchronous and free-running
clocks. An example is shown in Figure 13.

6.6. Applying a Reference Clock at XTAL Input
The Si5351 can be driven with a clock signal through the XA input pin. This is especially useful when in need of
generating clock outputs in two synchronization domains. With the Si5351C, one reference clock can be provided
at the CLKIN pin and at XA.

6.7. HCSL Compatible Outputs
The Si5351 can be configured to support HCSL compatible swing when the VDDO of the output pair of interest is
set to 2.5 V (i.e., VDDOA must be 2.5 V when using CLK0/1; VDDOB must be 2.5 V for CLK2/3 and so on).
The circuit in the figure below must be applied to each of the two clocks used, and one of the clocks in the pair
must also be inverted to generate a differential pair. See register setting CLKx_INV. This functionality is only
supported for Si5351 in 10-MSOP or 20-QFN packages.

7. Design Considerations
The Si5351 is a self-contained clock generator that requires very few external components. The following general
guidelines are recommended to ensure optimum performance. Refer to “AN554: Si5350/51 PCB Layout Guide” for
additional layout recommendations.
7.1. Power Supply Decoupling/Filtering
The Si5351 has built-in power supply filtering circuitry and extensive internal Low Drop Out (LDO) voltage
regulators to help minimize the number of external bypass components. All that is recommended is one 0.1 to
1.0 µF decoupling capacitor per power supply pin. This capacitor should be mounted as close to the VDD and
VDDOx pins as possible without using vias.
7.2. Power Supply Sequencing
The VDD and VDDOx (i.e., VDDO0, VDDO1, VDDO2, VDDO3) power supply pins have been separated to allow
flexibility in output signal levels. Power supply sequencing for VDD and VDDOx requires that all VDDOx be
powered up either before or at the same time as VDD. Unused VDDOx pins should be tied to VDD.
7.3. External Crystal
The external crystal should be mounted as close to the pins as possible using short PCB traces. The XA and XB
traces should be kept away from other high-speed signal traces. See “AN551: Crystal Selection Guide” for more
details.
7.4. External Crystal Load Capacitors
The Si5351 provides the option of using internal and external crystal load capacitors. If internal load capacitance is
insufficient, capacitors of value < 2 pF may be used to increased equivalent load capacitance. If external load
capacitors are used, they should be placed as close to the XA/XB pads as possible. See “AN551: Crystal Selection
Guide” for more details.
7.5. Unused Pins
Unused voltage control pin should be tied to GND.
Unused CLKIN pin should be tied to GND.
Unused XA/XB pins should be left floating. Refer to "6.6. Applying a Reference Clock at XTAL Input" on page 23
when using XA as a clock input pin.
Unused output pins (CLK0–CLK7) should be left floating.
Unused VDDOx pins should be tied to VDD.
7.6. Trace Characteristics
The Si5351A/B/C features various output current drive strengths. It is recommended to configure the trace
characteristics as shown in Figure 16 when the default high drive strength is used.
ZO = 50 ohms
R = 0 ohms

EMI management)

11. Ordering Information
Factory pre-programmed Si5351 devices (e.g., with bootup frequencies) can be requested using the ClockBuilder
Pro available at:https://www.skyworksinc.com/en/application-pages/clockbuilder-pro-software.
A unique part number is assigned to each custom configuration as indicated in Figure 24. Blank, un-programmed
Si5351 devices (with no boot-up frequency) do not contain a custom code.
The Si5351x-B20QFN-EVB evaluation kit, along with ClockBuilder Pro, enables easy testing of any Si5351A/B/C
frequency plan. ClockBuilder Pro makes it simple to emulate all three Si5351 packages, including the 10-MSOP,
20-QFN, and 16-QFN, on the same evaluation board.
