Description
The Si5364 is a complete solution for ultra-low jitter high-speed clock generation and
distribution in precision clocking applications, such as OC-192/OC-48 SONET/SDH line/
port cards. This device phase locks to one of three reference inputs in the range of
19.44 MHz and generates four synchronous clock outputs that can be independently
configured for operation in the 19, 155, or 622 MHz range (1, 8, and 32x input clock).
Silicon Laboratories DSPLL™ technology delivers phase-locked loop (PLL) functionality
with unparalleled performance while eliminating external loop filter components,
providing programmable loop parameters, and simplifying design. The on-chip reference
monitoring and clock switching functions support Stratum 3/3E and SMC compatible
clock switching with excellent output phase transient characteristics. FEC rates are
supported with selectable 255/238 or 238/255 scaling of the clock multiplication ratios.
The Si5364 establishes a new standard in performance and integration for ultra-low jitter
clock generation. It operates from a single 3.3 V supply.

Notes:
1. The Si5364 device provides weak 1.5 V internal biasing that enables ac-coupled operation.
2. Clock inputs may be driven differentially or single-endedly. When driven single-endedly, the unused input should be accoupled to ground.
3. Transmission line termination, when required, must be provided externally.
4. Although the Si5364 device can operate with input clock swings as high as 1500 mVPP, Silicon Laboratories recommends
maintaining the input clock amplitude below 500 mVPP for optimal performance.

Notes:
1. Higher PLL bandwidth settings provide smaller clock output wander with temperature gradient.
2. For reliable device operation, temperature gradients should be limited to 10 °C/min.
3. Telcordia GR-1244-CORE requirements specify maximum phase transient slope during clock rearrangement in terms
of nanoseconds per millisecond. The equivalent ps/s unit is used here since the maximum phase transient magnitude
for the Si5364 (tPT_MTIE) never reaches one nanosecond.

2. Functional Description
The Si5364 is a high-performance precision clock
switching and clock generation device. The Si5364
accepts up to three clock inputs in the 19 MHz range,
selects one of these clocks as the active clock input,
and generates up to four high-quality clock outputs that
are individually-programmable to be 1, 8, or 32x the
input clock frequency. Additional optional scaling by a
factor of 255/238 or 238/255 provides compatibility with
systems that provide or require clocks that are scaled
for forward error correction (FEC) rates. A typical
application for the Si5364 in SONET/SDH systems is
the generation of multiple low-jitter 19.44, 155.52, or
622.08 MHz clock outputs from a single or multiple
(redundant) 19.44 MHz reference clock sources.
The Si5364 employs Silicon Laboratories’ DSPLL
technology to provide excellent jitter performance,
minimize the external component count, and maximize
flexibility and ease of use. The Si5364’s DSPLL phase
locks to the selected clock input signal, attenuates
significant amounts of jitter, and multiplies the clock
frequency to generate the device’s SONET/SDHcompatible clock outputs. The DSPLL loop bandwidth is
selectable, allowing the Si5364’s jitter performance to
be optimized for different applications. The Si5364 can
produce clock outputs with jitter generation as low as
0.30 psRMS (see Table 4 on page 9), making the device
an ideal solution for port card clocking in SONET/SDH
(including OC-48 and OC-192) and Gigabit Ethernet
systems.
Input clock selection and switching occurs manually or
automatically. Automatic switching is revertive or nonrevertive. The Si5364 monitors the clock input signals for
frequency accuracy and loss-of-signal and provides
frequency offset (FOS) and loss-of-signal (LOS) alarms
that are the basis for manual or automatic clock selection
decisions. Input clock switching in the Si5364 uses
Silicon Laboratories’ switching technology to minimize
the clock output phase transients normally associated
with clock rearrangement (switching). The resulting
Maximum Time Interval Error (MTIE) associated with
switching in the Si5364 is well below the limits specified
in Telcordia Technologies GR-1244-CORE for Stratum 2
and 3E clocks or Stratum 3 and 4E clocks.
The Si5364’s PLL utilizes Silicon Laboratories' DSPLL
technology to eliminate jitter, noise, and the need for
external loop filter components found in traditional PLL
implementations. A digital signal processing (DSP)
algorithm replaces the loop filter commonly found in
analog PLL designs. This algorithm processes the
phase detector error term and generates a digital
control value to adjust the frequency of the voltagecontrolled oscillator (VCO). The technology produces
low phase noise clocks with less jitter than is generated
using traditional methods. See Figure 6 for an example
phase noise plot. In addition, because external loop
filter components are not required, sensitive noise entry
points are eliminated, and the DSPLL is less susceptible
to board-level noise sources. Digital technology
provides highly-stable and consistent operation over all
process, temperature, and voltage variations. The
benefits are smaller, lower power, cleaner, more
reliable, and easier-to-use clock circuits.
2.0.1. Selectable Loop Filter Bandwidth
The digital nature of the DSPLL loop filter gives control
of the loop parameters without changing external
components. The Si5364 provides four selectable loop
bandwidth settings (800, 1600, 3200, or 6400 Hz) for
different system requirements. The loop bandwidth is
selected using the BWSEL[1:0] pins. The BWSEL[1:0]
settings and associated loop bandwidths are listed in
Table 7.

2.1. Clock Output Rate Selection
The Si5364’s DSPLL phase locks to the selected clock
input signal to generate an internal VCO frequency that
is a multiple of the input clock frequency. The internal
VCO frequency is divided down to produce four clock
outputs at 1, 8, or 32x the frequency of the clock input
signal. The clock rate for each clock output is selected
using the Frequency Select (FRQSEL[1:0]) pins
associated with that output. The FRQSEL[1:0] settings
and associated clock rates are listed in Table 8.
The input frequency ranges for the Si5364 are specified
in Table 3 on page 8. The output rates scale
accordingly. When a 19.44 MHz input clock is used, the
clock outputs are programmable to run at 19.44, 155.52,
or 622.08 MHz.

2.1.1. FEC Rate Conversion
Conversion from non-FEC to FEC rates and from FEC
to non-FEC rates is supported with selectable 238/255
or 255/238 scaling of the Si5364’s clock output
multiplication ratios.
Input
Jitter
Am plitude
The multiplication ratios and associated frequency
ranges for the Si5364 clock outputs are set by the
FRQSEL[1:0] pins associated with each clock output.
Additional frequency scaling of active clock outputs by a
factor of either 238/255 or 255/238 is selected using the
FEC[1:0] control inputs.
10 ns
For example, a 622.08 MHz output clock (a non-FEC
rate) is generated from a 19.44 MHz input clock (a nonFEC rate) by setting FRQSEL[1:0] = 11 (32x
multiplication) and setting FEC[1:0] = 00 (no FEC
scaling). A 666.51 MHz output clock (a FEC rate) is
generated from a 19.44 MHz input clock (a non-FEC
rate) by setting FRQSEL[1:0] = 11 (32x multiplication)
and setting FEC[1:0] = 01 (255/238 FEC scaling).
Finally, a 622.08 MHz output clock (a non-FEC rate) is
generated from a 20.83 MHz input clock (a FEC rate) by
setting FRQSEL [1:0] = 11 (32x multiplication) and
setting FEC[1:0] = 10 (238/255 FEC scaling). The
FEC[1:0] settings and associated scaling factors are
listed in Table 9.

2.2. PLL Performance
The Si5364 PLL provides extremely low jitter
generation, high jitter tolerance, and a well-controlled
jitter transfer function with low peaking and a high
degree of jitter attenuation. Each of these key
performance parameters is described in the following
sections.
2.2.1. Jitter Tolerance
Jitter tolerance for the Si5364 is defined as the
maximum peak-to-peak sinusoidal jitter that can be
present on the incoming clock. Tolerance is a function of
the input jitter frequency and improves for lower input
jitter frequency.
16
–20 dB/dec.
Jitter transfer is defined as the ratio of output signal jitter
to input signal jitter for a specified jitter frequency. The
jitter transfer characteristic determines the amount of
input clock jitter that passes to the outputs. The DSPLL
technology used in the Si5364 provides tightly
controlled jitter transfer curves because the PLL gain
parameters are determined by digital circuits that do not
vary over supply voltage, process, and temperature. In
a system application, a well-controlled transfer curve
minimizes the output clock jitter variation from board to
board for consistent system-level jitter performance.
The jitter transfer characteristic is a function of the
BWSEL[1:0] setting. Lower bandwidth selection results
in more jitter attenuation of the incoming clock but might
result in higher jitter generation. Table 4 on page 9 gives
the 3 dB bandwidth and peaking values for specified
BWSEL[1:0] settings. Figure 9 shows the jitter transfer
curve mask.
2.2.3. Jitter Generation
Jitter generation is defined as the amount of jitter
produced at the output of the device with a jitter-free
input clock. Jitter is generated from sources within the
VCO and other PLL components. Jitter generation is a
function of the PLL bandwidth setting.
Rev. 2.5
Si5364
2.3. Frequency Offset and Loss-of-Signal
Alarms
The Si5364 monitors the input clock signals and
provides alarm output signals for frequency offset and
loss-of-signal that is the basis for manual or automatic
clock input switching decisions.
The frequency offset alarms indicate if the CLKIN_A
and CLKIN_B input clocks are within a specified
frequency precision relative to the frequency of the
REF/CLKIN_F input. The REF/CLKIN_F input can also
be utilized as a third clock input for the DSPLL. The
frequency offset monitoring circuitry compares the
frequency of the CLKIN_A and CLKIN_B input clocks
with the frequency of the supplied reference clock (REF/
CLKIN_F). If the frequency offset of an input clock
exceeds a preset frequency offset threshold, a
frequency offset alarm (FOS) is declared for that clock
input. The frequency offset threshold is selectable for
compatibility with either SONET minimum clock (SMC)
or Stratum 3/3E requirements using the SMC/S3N
control input. Frequency offset threshold values are
indicated in Table 3 on page 8.
2.4. Loss-of-Signal
The Si5364 loss-of-signal (LOS) circuitry constantly
monitors the CLKIN_A, CLKIN_B, and REF/CLKIN_F
input clocks for missing pulses. It over-samples the
input clocks to search for extended periods of time
without clock transitions. If the LOS circuitry detects four
consecutive samples of an input clock that are the same
state (i.e., 1111 or 0000), an LOS is declared for that
input clock. The LOS circuitry runs at a frequency of
f0_622/8, where f0_622 is the output clock frequency when
the FRQSEL[1:0] pins are set to 11. Figure 4 on page 6
and Table 3 on page 8 list the minimum and maximum
transitionless time periods required for declaring an
LOS on an input clock.
Once an LOS flag is asserted on one of the input clocks,
it is held high until the input clock is validated over a
time period designated by the VALTIME pin. When
VALTIME is low, the validation time period is about
100 ms. When VALTIME is high, the validation time
period is about 13 s. If another LOS condition on the
same input clock is detected during the validation time
(i.e., if another set of 1111 or 0000 samples are
detected), the LOS flag remains asserted, and the
validation time starts over.
An LOS alarm on the REF/CLKIN_F clock input
automatically disables the FOS_A and FOS_B
frequency offset alarms (frequency offset alarms are
automatically disabled in applications that do not supply
a REF/CLKIN_F input to the Si5364). The FOS_A and
FOS_B frequency offset alarms can be disabled
manually with the DSBLFOS control input.
2.5. Input Clock Select Functions
The Si5364 provides hitless switching between clock
input sources. Switching is controlled automatically or
manually. The criteria for automatic switching are
described below. Automatic switching can be revertive
(returns to the original clock when the alarm condition
clears) or non-revertive. When in manual mode, the
device selects the clock specified by the value of the
MANCNTRL[1:0] inputs.
2.5.1. Hitless Switching
Silicon Laboratories switching technology performs
“phase build-out” to minimize the propagation of phase
transients to the clock outputs during input clock
switching. Many of the problems associated with clock
switching using traditional analog solutions are
eliminated. In the Si5364, all switching between input
clocks occurs within the input multiplexor and DSPLL
phase detector circuitry. The phase detector circuitry
continually monitors the phase difference between each
input clock and the DSPLL VCO clock output. The
phase detector circuitry can lock to a clock signal at a
specified phase offset relative to the VCO output so that
the phase offset is maintained by the DSPLL circuitry. At
the time a clock switch occurs, the phase detector
circuitry knows both the input-to-output phase
relationship for the original input clock and of the new
input clock. The phase detector circuitry locks to the
new input clock at the new clock's phase offset so that
the phase of the output clock is not disturbed. That is,
the phase difference between the two input clocks is
absorbed in the phase detector's offset value, rather
than being propagated to the clock output.
The switching technology virtually eliminates the output
clock phase transients traditionally associated with
clock rearrangement (input clock switching). SONET/
SDH specifications allow transients of up to 150 ns of
maximum time interval error (MTIE) to occur during a
Stratum 2/3E clock switch. This specification, which is
sometimes
difficult
to
meet
with
analog
implementations, allows for up to 1500 bit periods of slip
to occur in an OC192 data stream. Silicon Laboratories’
switching eliminates these bit slips and the limitations
imposed by analog methods (such as low bandwidth
loops on the port cards) to meet the SONET/SDH
requirements. The MTIE and maximum slope for clock
output phase transients during clock switching with the
Si5364 are given in Table 4 on page 9. These values fall
significantly below the limits specified in the Telcordia
GR-1244-CORE Requirements.
The characteristic of the phase transient specification is
defined in Figure 10. The clock output phase step
Rev. 2.5
17
Si5364
(tPT_MTIE) is the steady-state offset between preswitching and post-switching output phases. This
specification applies to both the manual and automatic
switch modes. The clock output phase step slope (Mpt)
is defined as the rate of change of the output clock
phase during transition. Its magnitude depends on the
setting of the BWSEL[1:0] pins and whether the
switching is triggered manually by users or
automatically by Si5364 due to the changed input
clocks. The maximum transient phase deviation
(tPT_MTIE_MAX) only applies to an automatic switch and
is defined as the maximum transient phase disturbance
on the output clock. This transient only occurs in the
automatic mode due to the delay between the actual
loss of the clock and when the LOS detection circuitry
detects the loss. During the delay, the phase detector
measures the phase change of the “lost” clock, and the
DSPLL moves the output clock’s phase accordingly.
When the LOS circuitry flags the loss of the clock,
Si5364 switches the reference to the alternate clock.
Since the internal phase monitor circuitry preserves the
phase difference before the event (loss of the original
clock), the output phase is restored, and no excessive
phase deviation is present.

2.5.2. Automatic Switching
The Si5364 provides automatic and manual control over
which input clock drives the DSPLL. Automatic
switching is selected when the AUTOSEL input is high.
Automatic switching is either revertive (return to the
default input after alarm conditions clear) or nonrevertive (remain with selected input until an alarm
condition exists on the selected input).
The prioritization of clock inputs for automatic switching
is CLKA, followed by CLKB, REF/CLKIN_F, and finally,
digital hold mode. Automatic switching mode defaults to
CLKIN_A at powerup, reset, or when in revertive mode
with no alarms present on CLKIN_A. If a LOS or FOS
alarm occurs on CLKIN_A and there are no active
alarms on CLKIN_B, the device switches to CLKIN_B. If
both CLKIN-A and CLKIN_B are alarmed and REF/
CLKIN_F is present and alarm-free, the device switches
to REF/CLKN_F. If no REF/CLKIN_F is present and
CLKIN_A and CLKIN_B are alarmed, the internal
oscillator digitally holds its last value. If automatic mode
is selected and DSBLFOS is active, automatic switching
is not initiated in response to FOS alarms.
2.5.3. Revertive/Non-Revertive Switching
In automatic switching mode, an alarm condition on the
selected input clock causes an automatic switch to the
highest priority non-alarmed input available. Automatic
switching is revertive or non-revertive, depending on the
state of the RVRT input. In revertive mode, if an alarm
condition on the currently-selected input clock causes a
switch to a lower priority input clock, the Si5364
switches to the original clock input when the alarm
condition is cleared. In revertive mode, the highest
priority reference source that is valid is selected as the
DSPLL input. In non-revertive mode, the current clock
selection remains as long as the selected clock is valid
even if alarms are cleared on a higher priority clock.
Figure 11 provides state diagrams for revertive mode
switching and for non-revertive mode switching.

When operating in manual switching mode with the
Si5364 locked to the selected input clock signal, a loss
of the input clock causes the device to automatically
switch to digital hold mode. If the MANCNTRL[1:0] pins
remain stable (the lost clock is still selected), when the
input clock signal returns, the device performs a hitless
transition from digital hold mode back to the selected
input clock. That is, the device performs “phase buildout” to absorb the phase difference between the internal
VCO clock operating in digital hold mode and the new/
returned input clock.

The hitless recovery feature can be disabled by

is high, the output clock is phase and frequency locked
with a fixed-phase relationship to the input clock.
Consequently, abrupt phase changes on the input clock
will propagate through the device and cause the output
to slew at the selected loop bandwidth until the original
phase relationship is restored.

2.5.7. Clock Input to Clock Output Delay Adjustment
The INCDELAY and DECDELAY pins adjust the phase
of the Si5364 clock outputs. Adjustment is
accomplished by driving a pulse (a transition from low to
high and then back to low) into one of these pins as the
other pin is held at a logic low level.
[1,1,0]
Notes:
Criteria to determine input switch: [A_fail, B_fail,
LOS_F] where: A_fail = LOS_A or [FOS_A and
(not LOS_F)], B_fail = LOS_B or [FOS_B and (not
LOS_F)]
When entering the DH_ACTV state, the previously
asserted A_ACTV, B_ACTV, or F_ACTV flag
remains asserted.
Each pulse on the INCDELAY pin adds a fixed delay to
the Si5364’s clock outputs. The amount of delay time is
equal to twice the period of the 622 MHz output clock
(tDELAY = 2/fO_622).
Figure 11. Si5364 State Diagram for Input
Switching
2.5.4. Manual Switching
Manual switching is selected when the AUTOSEL input
is low and is controlled by the MANCNTRL[1:0] inputs.
When these inputs are set to manually select an input
reference, the DSPLL circuitry locks to the selected
clock. If the selected input is in a LOS alarm state, the
PLL goes into digital hold mode. FOS alarms are
declared according to device specifications but have no
automatic effect on clock selection in manual mode. The
MANCNTRL inputs are ignored when the AUTOSEL
input is high.
2.5.5. Digital Hold of the PLL
In digital hold mode, the Si5364 digitally holds the
internal oscillator at its last frequency value to provide a
stable clock output frequency until an input clock is
again valid. The clock maintains very stable operation in
the presence of constant voltage and temperature. The
Each pulse on the DECDELAY pin removes a fixed
amount of delay from the Si5364’s clock outputs. The
fixed delay time is equal to twice the period of the
622 MHz output clock (tDELAY = 2/fO_622).
The frequency of the 622 MHz output clock (fO_622) is
nominally 32x the frequency of the input clock. The
frequency of the 622 MHz output clock (fO_622) is scaled
according to the setting of the FEC[1:0] pins.
When the phase of the Si5364 clock outputs is adjusted
using the INCDELAY and/or DECDELAY pins, the
output clock moves to its new phase setting at a rate of
change that is determined by the setting of the
BWSEL[1:0] pins.
Note: INCDELAY and DECDELAY are ignored when the
Si5364 operates in digital hold (DH) mode.

2.6. 8 kHz Frame Sync
high transition on the RSTN/CAL input.
The Si5364 FSYNC output provides a sync pulse output
stream at an 8 kHz nominal rate. The frequency is
derived by dividing down the VCO clock output
frequency. The FSYNC output pulse stream is time
aligned by providing a rising edge on the SYNCIN input
pin. See Figure 3 on page 6. The FSYNC output is
disabled when 255/238 FEC scaling of the clock output
frequencies is selected or when the DSBLFSYNC input
is active.
Self-calibration should be manually initiated after
changing the state of the FEC[1:0] inputs. Whether
manually initiated or automatically initiated at powerup,
the self-calibration process requires the presence of a
valid input clock.
2.7. Reset
The Si5364 provides a Reset/Calibration pin, RSTN/
CAL, which resets the device and disables the outputs.
When the RSTN/CAL pin is driven low, the internal
circuitry enters into the reset mode, and all LVTTL
outputs are forced into a high impedance state. Also,
the CLKOUT_n+ and CLKOUT_n– pins are forced to a
nominal CML logic LOW and HIGH respectively (See
Figure 12). The FRQSEL_n[1:0] setting must be set to
01, 10, or 11 to enable this mode. This feature is useful
for in-circuit test applications. A low-to-high transition on
RSTN/CAL initializes all digital logic to a known
condition and initiates self-calibration of the DSPLL. At
the completion of self-calibration, the DSPLL begins to
lock to the clock input signal.
VDD 2.5 V
100 
If the self-calibration is initiated without a valid clock
present, the device waits for a valid clock before
completing the self-calibration. The Si5364 clock output
is set to the lower end of the operating frequency range
while the device waits for a valid clock. After the clock
input is validated, the calibration process runs to
completion, the device locks to the clock input, and the
clock output shifts to its target frequency. Subsequent
losses of the input clock signal do not require recalibration. If the clock input is lost following selfcalibration, the device enters digital hold mode. When
the input clock returns, the device re-locks to the input
clock without performing a self-calibration. During the
calibration process, the output clock frequency is
indeterminate and may jump as high as 5% above the
final locked value.
2.9. Bias Generation Circuitry
The Si5364 uses an external resistor to set internal bias
currents. The external resistor generates precise bias
currents that significantly reduce power consumption
and variation compared with traditional implementations
that use an internal resistor. The bias generation
circuitry requires a 10 k (1%) resistor connected
between REXT and GND.
2.10. Differential Input Circuitry
100 
CLKOUT_n–
CLKOUT_n+
15 mA
The Si5364 provides differential inputs for the CLKIN_A,
CLKIN_B, and REF/CLKIN_F clock inputs. These inputs
are internally biased to a voltage of VICM (see Table 2
on page 7) and are driven by differential or single-ended
driver circuits. The termination resistor is connected
externally as shown.
2.11. Differential Output Circuitry
The Si5364 uses current mode logic (CML) output
drivers to provide the clock outputs CLKOUT[3:0]. For
single-ended operation, leave one CLKOUT line
unconnected.

2.12. Power Supply Connections
2.8. PLL Self-Calibration
The Si5364 achieves optimal jitter performance by
using self-calibration circuitry to set the VCO center
frequency and loop gain parameters within the DSPLL.
Internal circuitry generates self calibration automatically
on powerup or after a loss-of-power condition. Selfcalibration can also be manually initiated by a low-to-
20
The Si5364 incorporates an on-chip voltage regulator.
The
voltage
regulator
requires
an
external
compensation circuit of one resistor and one capacitor
to ensure stability in all operating conditions.
Internally, the Si5364 VDD33 pins are connected to the
on-chip voltage regulator input, and the VDD33 pins also
supply power to the device’s LVTTL I/O circuitry. The
VDD25 pins supply power to the core DSPLL circuitry
Rev. 2.5
Si5364
and are also used for connection of the external
compensation circuit.
The compensation circuit for the internal voltage
regulator consists of a resistor and a capacitor in series
between the VDD25 node and ground. In practice, if a
capacitor is selected with an appropriate equivalent
series resistance (ESR), the discrete series resistor can
be eliminated. The target RC time constant for this
combination is 15 to 50 µs. The capacitor used in the
Si5364 evaluation board is a 33 µF tantalum capacitor
with an ESR of 0.8 . This gives an RC time constant of
26.4 µs and no discrete resistor is required. (See
Figure 7 on page 14.) The Venkel part number,
TA6R3TCR336KBR, is an example of a capacitor that
meets these specifications.
To get optimal performance from the Si5364 device, the
power supply noise spectrum must comply with the plot
in Figure 13. This plot shows the power supply noise
tolerance mask for the Si5364. The customer should
provide a 3.3 V supply that does not have noise density
in excess of the amount shown in the diagram.
However, the diagram cannot be used as spur criteria
for a power supply that contains single tone noise.
2.13. Design and Layout Guidelines
Precision clock circuits are susceptible to board noise
and EMI. To take precautions against unacceptable
levels of board noise and EMI affecting performance of
the Si5364, consider the following:

Use an isolated, local plane to connect the VDD25
pins. Avoid running signal traces over or below this
plane without a ground plane in between.
 Route all I/O traces between ground planes as much
as possible
 Maintain an input clock amplitude in the 200 mVPP to
500 mVPP differential range.
Excessive high-frequency harmonics of the input clock
should be minimized. The use of filters on the input
clock signal can be used to remove high-frequency
harmonics.

AC Coupled Frequency Reference/Backup Clock Input.
200–500 mVPPD Used by the DSPLL as a frequency reference for
(See Table 2) determining the frequency accuracy of the CLKIN_A
and CLKIN_B inputs. If the frequency offset of either
the CLKIN_A or the CLKIN_B inputs relative to REF/
CLKIN_F exceeds the selected frequency offset
threshold, the corresponding Frequency Offset error
flag (FOS_A or FOS_B) is asserted. The frequency
offset threshold is selected with the SMC/S3N input.
In automatic switching mode, Frequency Offset
errors can cause switching of the input clock selection. (See AUTOSEL pin description.) If the REF/
CLKIN_F signal is not present, the FOS_A and
FOS_B error flags are generated, along with the
LOS_F Loss-of-Signal error flag. The FOS_A and
FOS_B error flags are ignored for the purposes of
automatic switching in the presence of the LOS_F
flag.
The REF/CLKIN_F input can also be utilized as a
third clock input that can be selected by the DSPLL
in the generation of the SONET/SDH compliant clock
outputs. When REF/CLKIN_F is input to the DSPLL
rather than as a frequency accuracy reference for
CLKIN_A and CLKIN_B, the FOS_A or FOS_B frequency offset error outputs can be disabled with the
DSBLFOS control input.
The frequencies of the Si5364 clock outputs are
each a 1, 8, or 32x multiple of the frequency of the
selected clock input. The multiplication ratio is
selected using Frequency Select (FRQSEL) control

INCDELAY
I*
LVTTL
Description
Increment Output Phase Delay.
The INCDELAY and DECDELAY pins can adjust the
phase of the Si5364 clock outputs. Adjustment is
accomplished by driving a pulse (a transition from
low to high and then back to low) into one of the pins
while the other pin is held at a logic low level.
Each pulse on the INCDELAY pin adds a fixed delay
to the Si5364’s clock outputs. The fixed delay time is
equal to twice the period of the 622 MHz output clock
(tDELAY = 2/fo_622). The frequency of the 622 MHz
output clock (fo_622) is nominally 32x the frequency of
the input clock. The frequency of the 622 MHz output
clock (fo_622) is scaled additionally according to the
setting of the FEC[1:0] pins.
When the phase of the Si5364 clock outputs is
adjusted using the INCDELAY and/or DECDELAY
pins, the output clock moves to its new phase setting
at a rate of change that is determined by the setting
of the BWSEL[1:0] pins.
Note: INCDELAY is ignored when the Si5364 is operating
in digital hold (DH) mode.
C4
DECDELAY
I*
LVTTL
Decrement Output Phase Delay.
The INCDELAY and DECDELAY pins can adjust the
phase of the Si5364 clock outputs. Adjustment is
accomplished by driving a pulse (a transition from
low to high and then back to low) into one of the pins
while the other pin is held at a logic low level.
Each pulse on the DECDELAY pin removes a fixed
delay from the Si5364’s clock outputs. The fixed
delay time is equal to twice the period of the 622
MHz output clock (tDELAY = 2/fo_622). The frequency
of the 622 MHz output clock (fo_622) is nominally 32x
the frequency of the input clock. The frequency of the
622 MHz output clock (fo_622) is scaled additionally
according to the setting of the FEC[1:0] pins.
When the phase of the Si5364 clock outputs is
adjusted using the INCDELAY and/or DECDELAY
pins, the output clock moves to its new phase setting
at a rate of change that is determined by the setting
of the BWSEL[1:0] pins.
Note: INCDELAY is ignored when the Si5364 is operating
in digital hold (DH) mode.
*Note: The LVTTL inputs on the Si5364 device have an internal pulldown mechanism that causes the input to default to a logic
low state if the input is not driven from an external source.

FXDDELAY
I*
LVTTL
Description
Fixed Delay Control.
Active high input that fixes the clock input to clock
output phase relationship to a constant value. When
this pin is high and the device is operating in manual
select mode (AUTOSEL = 0), hitless recovery from
digital hold is disabled, and the input to output phase
relationship will remain fixed as long as the
MANCNTRL[1:0] pins remain unchanged.
This feature is useful in applications that utilize a
single clock source and require a known input-tooutput phase relationship. The FXDDELAY input is
ignored when AUTOSEL is high.
*Note: The LVTTL inputs on the Si5364 device have an internal pulldown mechanism that causes the input to default to a logic
low state if the input is not driven from an external source.
