Si5386 Data Sheet
12-Channel, Any-Frequency, Any-Output wireless Jitter Attenuator / Clock Multiplier with Ultra-Low Noise
The Si5386 is an ultra high performance wireless jitter attenuator with any frequency
outputs for eCPRI (ethernet-based Common Public Radio Interface) applications,
which demand the highest level of integration and phase noise performance. Based
on Skyworks Solutions’ 4th generation DSPLL technology, the Si5386 combines
frequency synthesis and jitter attenuation in a highly integrated digital solution with a
cost-effective oscillator, and without the need of any external loop filter components.
The fixed frequency oscillator provides frequency stability for free-run and holdover
modes. This all-digital solution provides superior performance that is highly immune
to external board disturbances such as power supply noise.
eCPRI-based remote radio heads and fixed wireless systems require a diverse set
of clocks such as ADC/DAC, RF LOs, and Ethernet clocks. The Si5386 architecture
is designed to deliver high-performance JESD204B DCLK and SYSREF clock pairs
and flexible any-rate clocks for non-CPRI clocks such as Ethernet and system reference clocks all from a single IC.

Si5386 Data Sheet • Functional Description
3. Functional Description
The Si5386’s internal DSPLL provides jitter attenuation and any-frequency multiplication of the selected input frequency without the
need for (external) VCXOs and loop filters. Input switching is controlled manually or automatically using an internal state machine.
The external oscillator provides a frequency reference which determines output frequency stability and accuracy while the device is in
free-run or holdover mode. The high-performance MultiSynthdividers (N) 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. Additional integer
division (R) determines the final output frequency. Further, the DSPLL is specially calibrated for ultra-low phase noise when configured
for CPRI frequencies with JESD204B outputs. This integration provides a clock-tree-on-a-chip solution for applications that need a mix
of 4G/CPRI, Ethernet, and general-purpose frequencies.
3.1 Frequency Configuration
The frequency configuration of the DSPLL is programmable through the serial interface and can also be stored in non-volatile memory.
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 with very low-phase
noise suitable for wireless applications when synthesizing CPRI frequencies. All divider values for a specific frequency plan are easily
determined using the ClockBuilder Pro utility.
3.2 DSPLL Loop Bandwidth
The DSPLL loop bandwidth determines the amount of input clock jitter attenuation. Register configurable DSPLL loop bandwidth
settings in the range of 20 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.
3.3 Fastlock Feature
Selecting a low DSPLL loop bandwidth (e.g., 20 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. Higher fastlock loop bandwidth settings will
enable the DSPLLs to lock faster. Fastlock Loop Bandwidth settings of in the range of 20 Hz to 4 kHz are available for selection. The
DSPLL will revert to its normal loop bandwidth once lock acquisition has completed.
3.4 Modes of Operation
Once initialization is complete the DSPLL operates in one of five modes: Free-run Mode, VCO Freeze Mode, Lock Acquisition Mode,
Locked Mode, or Holdover Mode. A state diagram showing the modes of operation is shown in Figure 3.1 Modes of Operation on page
7. The following sections describe each of these modes in greater detail.

Si5386 Data Sheet • Functional Description
3.4.1 Initialization and Reset
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 are generated until the 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 is restored to their initial state. A hard reset is initiated using the RSTb pin or by asserting the hard reset register bit.
A soft reset bypasses the NVM download. It is simply used to initiate register configuration changes.

3.4.2 Freerun Mode
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 reference clock on the
XA/XB pins. For example, if the oscillator stability is ±50 ppm, then all the output clocks will be generated at their configured frequency
with ±50 ppm stability in freerun mode. Any drift of the oscillator frequency is tracked at the output clock frequencies. Free run mode is
maintained as long as no input clocks are valid.
3.4.3 Lock Acquisition Mode
The device monitors all inputs for a valid clock. If at least one valid clock is available for synchronization, the DSPLL automatically starts
the lock acquisition process. If the fast lock feature is enabled, the DSPLL acquires 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 output generates a
clock that follows the VCO frequency change as it pulls in to the input clock frequency.
3.4.4 Locked Mode
Once locked, the DSPLL generates output clocks that are both frequency and phase locked to their selected input clocks. At this point,
any oscillator frequency drift does not affect the output frequency. A loss of lock pin (LOL) and status bit indicate when lock is achieved.
See 3.7.4 LOL Detection for more details on the operation of the loss-of-lock circuit.

3.4.5 Holdover Mode
If holdover history is valid, the DSPLL automatically enters holdover mode when the selected input clock becomes invalid and no other
valid input clocks are available for selection. The DSPLL 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 for the
DSPLL 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. The delay value
allows ignoring frequency data that may be corrupt just before the input clock failure.

Figure 3.2. Programmable Holdover Window
When entering holdover, the DSPLL pulls its output clock frequency to the calculated averaged holdover frequency. While in holdover,
the output frequency drift is entirely dependent on the external reference clock connected to the XA/XB pins. If the clock input becomes
valid, the DSPLL automatically exits the holdover mode and re-acquires 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 or the Fastlock bandwidth.
The DSPLL output frequency when exiting holdover can be ramped (recommended). Just before the exit is initiated, the difference
between the current holdover frequency and the new desired frequency is measured. Using the calculated difference and a user-selectable ramp rate, the output is linearly ramped to the new frequency. The ramp rate can be 0.2 ppm/s, 40,000 ppm/s, or any of about 40
values in between. The DSPLL loop BW does not limit or affect ramp rate selections (and vice versa). CBPro defaults to ramped exit
from holdover. The same ramp rate settings are used for both exit from holdover and ramped input switching. For more information on
ramped input switching, see 3.6.4 Ramped Input Switching.
Note: If ramped holdover exit is not selected, the holdover exit is governed either by (1) the DSPLL loop BW or (2) a user-selectable
holdover exit BW.
3.4.6 VCO Freeze Mode
If holdover history is not valid, the DSPLL automatically enters VCO Freeze mode when the selected input clock becomes invalid and
no other valid input clocks are available for selection. The DSPLL uses the last measured input frequency to set the output frequencies
in the VCO Freeze mode. If an input clock becomes valid, the DSPLL automatically exits the VCO Freeze mode and re-acquires lock to
the new input clock.

3.5 External Reference (XA/XB)
An external crystal oscillator (XO) is required to set the reference for the Si5386. Only a 54 MHz XO is used as the reference to the
wireless jitter attenuator. For the jitter and phase noise performance that is specified in this data sheet, the only XO's that can be used
are the 54 MHz XO's recommended for the Si5381/82/86 in the Si534x/8x Jitter Attenuators Recommended Crystal, TCXO and OCXOs
Reference Manual.
Place the XO as close to the XaXb pins as possible. See figure below for guidelines on how to connect the XO to the XaXb input. C1
increases the slew rate to the Xa input, which is needed to get the jitter and phase noise performance that is specifed in this data sheet.

3.6 Inputs (IN0, IN1, IN2, IN3)
There are four inputs that can be used to synchronize the DSPLL. The inputs accept both differential and single-ended clocks. Input
selection can be manual (pin or register controlled) or automatic with user definable priorities. See the Si5386 Rev. E Family Reference
Manual for details and input termination requirements.
3.6.1 Manual Input Switching (IN0, IN1, IN2, IN3)
Input clock selection can be made manually using the IN_SEL[1:0] pins or through a register. A register bit determines input selection
as pin selectable or register selectable. The IN_SEL pins are selected by default. If there is no clock signal on the selected input, the
device automatically enters free-run or holdover mode. When the zero delay mode is enabled, IN3 becomes the feedback input (FB_IN)
and is not available for selection as a clock input.

Si5386 Data Sheet • Functional Description
3.6.2 Automatic Input Selection (IN0, IN1, IN2, IN3)
An automatic input selection state machine is available in addition to the manual switching option. In automatic mode, the selection
criteria is based on input clock qualification, input priority, and the revertive option. Only input clocks that are valid can be selected
by the automatic clock selection state machine. 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 is initiated. With non-revertive switching, the active input always remains
selected while it is valid. If it becomes invalid an automatic switchover to a valid input with the highest priority is initiated.
3.6.3 Hitless Input Switching
Hitless switching is a feature that prevents a phase offset from propagating to the output when switching between two clock inputs that
have a fixed phase relationship. A hitless switch can only occur when the two input frequencies are frequency locked meaning that they
have to be exactly at the same frequency, or at a fractional frequency relationship to each other. When hitless switching is enabled, the
DSPLL simply absorbs the phase difference between the two input clocks during a input switch. When disabled, the phase difference
between the two inputs is propagated to the output at a rate determined by the DSPLL Loop Bandwidth. The hitless switching feature
supports clock frequencies down to the minimum input frequency of 7.68 MHz.
3.6.4 Ramped Input Switching
When switching between two plesiochronous input clocks (i.e., the frequencies are "almost the same" but not quite), ramped input
switching should be enabled to ensure a smooth transition between the two inputs. Ramped input switching avoids frequency transients
and overshoot when switching between frequencies and so is the default switching mode in CBPro. The feature should be turned off
when switching between input clocks that are always frequency locked (i.e., are always the same exact frequency). The same ramp
rate settings are used for both holdover exit and clock switching. For more information on ramped exit from holdover see 3.4.5 Holdover
Mode.
3.6.5 Glitchless Input Switching
The DSPLL has the ability of switching between two input clock frequencies that are up to 40 ppm apart. The DSPLL will pull-in to the
new frequency using the DSPLL Loop Bandwidth or using the Fastlock Loop Bandwidth if enabled. The loss of lock (LOL) indicator
will assert while the DSPLL is pulling-in to the new clock frequency. There will be no abrupt phase change at the output during the
transition.
3.7 Fault Monitoring
All four input clocks (IN0, IN1, IN2, IN3/FB_IN) are monitored for loss of signal (LOS) and out-of-frequency (OOF) as shown in the
figure below. The reference at the XA/XB pins is also monitored for LOS since it provides a critical reference clock for the DSPLL. There
is also a Loss Of Lock (LOL) indicator which is asserted when the DSPLL loses synchronization.

3.7.1 Input LOS Detection
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 always stays asserted until cleared. An option to disable any of the LOS monitors is also available.

3.7.2 Reference Clock LOS Detection
A LOS monitor is available to ensure that the external reference oscillator is valid. By default the output clocks are disabled when
XAXB_LOS is detected. This feature can be disabled such that the device will continue to produce output clocks when XAXB_LOS is
detected.
3.7.3 OOF Detection
Each input clock is monitored for frequency accuracy with respect to a OOF reference which it considers as its “0_ppm” reference. This
OOF reference can be selected as either:
• The XA/XB reference
• 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 the figure
below. 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.

3.7.3.1 Precision OOF Monitor
The precision OOF monitor circuit measures the frequency of all input clocks to within ±1 ppm accuracy with respect to the selected
OOF frequency reference. A valid input clock frequency is one that remains within the OOF frequency range which is register
configurable up to 511 ppm in steps of 1/16 ppm. If the Xa input is chosen as the frequency reference, then the minimum OOF assert
threshold should be 60 ppm or greater to account for the ±50 ppm error from the recommended XO at the Xa input. 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 ±60 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 external XO reference is available. This option
is register configurable.

Figure 3.7. Example of Precise OOF Monitor Assertion and Deassertion Triggers
3.7.3.2 Fast OOF Monitor
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 monitor asserts OOF on an input clock frequency that has changed by greater
than ±1,000 ppm to ±16,000 ppm. This threshold can be configured in CBPro.
3.7.4 LOL Detection
The Loss Of Lock (LOL) monitor asserts a LOL register bit when the DSPLL has lost synchronization with its selected input clock.
There 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 two LOL frequency monitors, one that sets the LOL
indicator (LOL Set) and another that clears the indicator (LOL Clear). An optional timer is available to delay clearing of the LOL indicator
to allow additional time for the DSPLL to completely lock to the input clock. The timer is also useful to prevent the LOL indicator from
toggling or chattering as the DSPLL completes lock acquisition. A block diagram of the LOL monitor is shown in the figure below. 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.

An optional timer is available to delay clearing of the LOL indicator to allow additional time for the DSPLL to completely lock to the input

configurable delay value depends on frequency configuration and loop bandwidth of the DSPLL and is automatically calculated using
the ClockBuilder Pro utility.
3.7.5 Interrupt Pin (INTRb)
An interrupt pin (INTRb) indicates a change in state of the status indicators (LOS, OOF, LOL, HOLD). Any of the status indicators are
maskable to prevent assertion of the interrupt pin. The state of the INTRb pin is reset by clearing the status register that caused the
interrupt.
3.8 Outputs
The Si5386 supports up to twelve differential output drivers. Each driver has a configurable voltage swing and common mode voltage
covering a wide variety of differential signal formats. In addition to supporting differential signals, any of the outputs can be configured
as single-ended LVCMOS (3.3 V, 2.5 V, or 1.8 V) providing up to 24 single-ended outputs, or any combination of differential and
single-ended outputs.

3.8.5 LVCMOS Output Impedance and Drive Strength Selection
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 options as shown in the table below.

Note: Use of the lowest impedance setting is recommended for all supply voltages for best edge rates.
3.8.6 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.
3.8.7 LVCMOS Output Polarity
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) as the clock on the OUTxb pin. The polarity of these clocks is
configurable, enabling complementary clock generation and/or inverted polarity with respect to other output drivers.
3.8.8 Output Enable/Disable
The OEb pin provides a convenient method of disabling or enabling all of the output drivers at the same time. When the OEb pin is held
high all outputs will be disabled. When held low, the outputs will all be enabled. Outputs in the enabled state can still be individually
disabled through register control.
3.8.9 Output Disable During LOL
By default, a DSPLL that is out of lock will generate either free-running clocks or generate clocks in holdover mode. There is an option
to disable the outputs when a DSPLL is LOL. This option can be useful to force a downstream PLL into holdover.
3.8.10 Output Disable During Reference LOS
The external XA/XB reference provides a critical function for the operation of the DSPLLs. In the event of the XO failure, the device
will assert an XAXB_LOS alarm. By default, all outputs will be disabled during assertion of the XAXB_LOS alarm. There is an option
to leave the outputs enabled during an XAXB_LOS alarm, but the frequency accuracy and stability is indeterminate during this fault
condition.
3.8.11 Output Driver State When Disabled
The disabled state of an output driver is configurable as disable low or disable high.

Si5386 Data Sheet • Functional Description
3.8.12 Synchronous Output Disable Feature
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.
3.8.13 Static Output Skew Control
The static phase adjust will allow a programmable phase offset between outputs on different N dividers. The resolution of the static
phase adjustment is 68 ps with up to ±1 ms of total range. This feature is intended for use in JESD204B subclass 1 applications
to adjust the phase of SYSREF signals with respect to DCLK. See the family Reference Manual and Application Note AN1165:
Configuring Si538x Devices for JESD204B/C Wireless Applications for more details.
3.8.14 Dynamic Output Skew Control
The dynamic phase adjust will allow the device to dynamically and glitchlessly change the outputs phase using register writes while
the device remains locked. The resolution of the dynamic phase adjustment is 68 ps step size with up to ±1 ms of total range. See the
family Reference Manual for more details.
3.8.15 Zero Delay Mode
Zero delay mode is configured by opening the internal feedback loop through software configuration and closing the loop externally
around as shown in the figure below. This helps to cancel out the internal delay introduced by the dividers, the crosspoint, the input,
and the output drivers. Any output can be fed back to the IN3/FB_IN pins, although using the output driver that achieves the shortest
trace length will help to minimize the input-to-output delay. The OUT9A and IN3/FB_IN pins are recommended for the external feedback
connection. 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. The order of the OUT9A and FB_IN polarities is such that they may be routed on
the device side of the PCB without requiring vias or needing to cross each other.

Si5386 Data Sheet • Functional Description
3.8.16 Output Divider (R) Synchronization
All the output R dividers are reset to a known state during the power-up initialization period. This ensures consistent and repeatable
phase alignment across all output drivers. Resetting the device using the RSTb pin or asserting the hard reset bit will have the same
result.
3.9 Power Management
Unused inputs and output drivers can be powered down when unused. Consult the Reference Manual and ClockBuilder Pro configuration utility for details.
3.10 In-Circuit Programming
The Si5386 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 and VDDA pins. The NVM is two time writable. Once a new configuration has been written to NVM, the old
configuration is no longer accessible. Refer to the Reference Manual for a detailed procedure for writing registers to NVM.
3.11 Serial Interface
Configuration and operation of the Si5386 is controlled by reading and writing registers using the I2C or SPI interface. The I2C_SEL
pin selects I2C or SPI operation. Communication with both 3.3 V and 1.8 V host is supported. The SPI mode operates in either 4-wire
or 3-wire. The SCLK in SPI mode does not need to be present when CSb is high. See the timing diagram for SPI and the Reference
Manual for details.
3.12 Custom Factory Preprogrammed Parts
For applications where a serial interface is not available for programming the device, custom pre-programmed parts can be ordered
with a specific configuration written into NVM. A factory preprogrammed part will generate clocks at power-up. Custom, factory-preprogrammed devices are available. The ClockBuilder Pro custom part number wizard can be used to quickly and easily generate a custom
part number for your configuration.
In less than three minutes, you will be able to generate a custom part number with a detailed data sheet addendum matching your
design’s configuration. Once you receive the confirmation email with the data sheet addendum, simply place an order with your local
Skyworks sales representative. Samples of your preprogrammed device will typically ship in about two weeks.
3.13 Enabling Features and/or Configuration Settings Unavailable in ClockBuilder Pro for Factory Preprogrammed Devices
As with essentially all modern software utilities, ClockBuilder Pro is continually being updated and enhanced. This update process
will ultimately enable ClockBuilder Pro users to access all features and register setting values documented in this data sheet and the
Reference Manual.
However, if you must enable or access a feature or register setting value so that the device starts up with this feature or a register
setting, but the feature or register setting is not yet available in CBPro, you must contact a Skyworks applications engineer for
assistance. One example of this type of feature or custom setting is the customizable output amplitude and common voltages for the
clock outputs. After careful review of your project file and requirements, the Skyworks applications engineer will email back your CBPro
project file with your specific features and register settings enabled using what's referred to as the manual "settings override" feature of
CBPro. "Override" settings to match your request(s) will be listed in your design report file. Examples of setting "overrides" in a CBPro
design report are shown in the following table.

Si5386 Data Sheet • Register Map
4. Register Map
The register map is divided into multiple pages where each page has 256 addressable registers. Page 0 contains frequently accessible
registers, such as alarm status, resets, device identification, etc. Other pages contain registers that need less frequent access such
as frequency configuration, and general device settings. A high level map of the registers is shown in “6.2. High-Level Register
Map” . Refer to the Reference Manual for a complete list of register descriptions and settings. Skyworks strongly recommends using
ClockBuilder Pro to create and manage register settings.
4.1 Addressing Scheme
The device registers are accessible using a 16-bit address that consists of an 8-bit page address plus an 8-bit register address. By
default, the page address is set to 0x00. Changing to another page is accomplished by writing to the "Set Page Address" byte located
at address 0x01 of each page.

3. Rise and fall times can be estimated using the following simplified equation: tr/tf80-20 = ((0.8 – 0.2) x VIN_Vpp_se) / SR.
4. Standard, Non-standard and Pulsed CMOS refer to different formats of CMOS each with a voltage swing of 1.8V, 2.5V or 3.3V
+/-5%.
• Standard CMOS refers to the industry standard LVCMOS signal.
• Non-standard CMOS refers to a signal that has been attenuated/level-shifted in order to comply with the specified non-standard VIL and VIH specifications.
• Pulsed CMOS refers to a signal that has been attenuated/level-shifted and has a low/high duty cycle and must be dc coupled.
A typical application example is a low-frequency video frame sync pulse.
Refer to the Si5386 Reference Manual for the recommended connections/termination for the different modes.
5. CMOS signals that exceed 3.3 V + 5% can be used as inputs as long as a resistive attenuation network is used to guarantee
that the input voltage at the pin does not violate the device's input ratings. Please refer to the Si5386 Reference Manual for the
recommended connections/termination for this mode.
6. Refer to the Si534x/8x Jitter Attenuators Recommended Crystal, TCXO and OCXOs Reference Manual for recommended 54
MHz XOs.
7. Includes aging and temperature affects.
8. Activity dip is also called frequency perturbation.

Note:
1. Output amplitude and common mode voltage are programmable through register settings and can be stored in NVM. Each output
driver can be programmed independently. The typical normal mode (or low power mode) LVDS maximum is 100 mV (or 80 mV)
higher than the TIA/EIA-644 maximum. Refer to the Si5386 Reference Manual for recommended output settings.
2. Not all combinations of voltage amplitude and common mode voltages settings are possible.
3. Measured for 156.25 MHz carrier frequency. Sinewave noise added to VDDO (1.8 V = 50 mVpp, 2.5 V/3.3 V = 100 mVpp) and
noise spur amplitude measured.
4. Measured across two adjacent outputs, both in LVDS mode, with the victim running at 122.88 MHz and the aggressor at
156.25 MHz. Refer to application note, "AN862: Optimizing Si534x Jitter Performance in Next Generation Internet Infrastructure
Systems”, guidance on crosstalk minimization. Note that all active outputs must be terminated when measuring crosstalk.
