1. Scope
This Family Reference Manual is intended to provide system, PCB design, signal integrity, and software engineers
the necessary technical information to successfully use the Si5344H/42H devices in end applications. The official
device specifications can be found in the Si5344H/42H data sheets.

2. Overview
The Si5344H/42H 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. Free-run, 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.
2.1. 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.

2.3. Available Software Tools and Support
ClockBuilder Pro is a software tool that is used for the Si5344H/42H 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.

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 2.

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.

3.2. 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.

3.2.1. Fastlock Feature
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. Higher
fastlock loop bandwidth settings will enable the DSPLL to lock faster. Fastlock Loop Bandwidth settings in the
range from 100 Hz to 4 kHz are available for selection. The DSPLL will revert to its normal loop bandwidth once
lock acquisition has completed.

4.1. Reset and Initialization
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
SPI or I2C serial interface is possible once this initialization period is complete. No clocks will be generated until the
initialization is complete. There are two types of resets available: hard reset and soft reset. A hard reset is
functionally similar to a device power-up. All registers will be restored to the values stored in NVM, and all circuits
including the serial interface will be 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 lists the reset and control registers.

The Si5344H/42H 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
It is possible for a PLL to become unresponsive (i.e., lose lock indefinitely) when it is dynamically reprogrammed or
changed via the 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 can cause the VCO frequency
change by more than 250 ppm.

PXAXB
MXAXB_NUM
MXAXB_DEN

Write 0x0B24 = 0xD8
Write 0x0B25 = 0x00
2. Wait 300 ms.
3. Then perform the desired register modifications
4. Write SOFT_RST - x001C[0] = 1
5. Write the post-amble
Write 0x0B24 = 0xDB
Write 0x0B25 = 0x02
4.3. NVM Programming
The NVM is two time writable. Because it can only be written two times, it is important to configure the registers
correctly before beginning the NVM programming process. Once a new configuration has been written to NVM, the
old configuration is no longer accessible. Note: In-circuit programming is only supported over a temperature range
of 0° to 80°C.
The procedure for writing registers into NVM is as follows:
1. Write all registers as needed.
2. You may write to the user scratch space (registers 0x026B to 0x0272) to identify the content of NVM bank.
3. Write 0xC7 to NVM_WRITE register.
4. Wait until DEVICE_READY = 0x0F
5. Set NVM_READ_BANK 0x00E4[0] = “1”.
6. Wait until DEVICE_READY = 0x0F.
7. Steps 5 and 6 can be replaced by simply powering down and then powering up the device.

4.4. Free Run 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 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 low-jitter 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 Section “5.3.3. Loss of Lock Fault Monitoring” for more details on
the operation of the loss of lock circuit.
4.7. Holdover Mode
The DSPLL will automatically enter 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 Figure 6. 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 6. 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 XA/XB 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, the Fastlock bandwidth, or an artificial linear ramp rate selectable from 0.75 ppm/s up to
40 ppm/s. These options are register programmable.

5. Clock Inputs
The Si5344H/42H supports two inputs that can be used to synchronize to the internal DSPLL.
5.1. Inputs (IN0, IN1)
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 7.

5.1.1. Manual Input Switching
In manual mode, CLK_SWITCH_MODE=0x00.
Input switching can be done manually using the IN_SEL device pin from the package or through register 0x052A
IN_SEL. Bit 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. If there is no clock signal on
the selected input, the device will automatically enter free-run or holdover mode.

5.1.2. Automatic Input Selection
In automatic mode CLK_SWITCH_MODE = 0x01 (non-revertive) or 0x02 (revertive)
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 pin or IN_SEL register bit is 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.

5.2. Types of Inputs
Each of the inputs 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 7. The resistor divider values given below will work with up to 1 MHz pulsed inputs. In general,
following the “Standard AC Coupled Single Ended” arrangement shown below will give superior jitter performance.

Input clock buffers are enabled by setting the IN_EN 0x0949[1] bits appropriately for IN1 and 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 7 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[5:4] for IN1 and IN0.

5.2.1. Unused Inputs
Unused inputs can be disabled and left unconnected when not in use. Register 0x0949[1:0] defaults the input
clocks to being enabled. Clearing the unused input bits will disable them.
5.2.2. Hitless Input Switching
Hitless switching is a feature that prevents a phase transient 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, which means that they have to be exactly the same frequency. When hitless
switching is enabled (register 0x0536 bit 2 = 1), the DSPLL absorbs the phase difference between the current input
clock and the new input clock. When disabled (register 0x0536 bit 2 = 0), the phase difference between the two
inputs will propagate 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 8 kHz.

Function
Hitless switching is enabled = 1, or disabled = 0.
For the Si5344H/42H to meet the hitless switching specification, there are restrictions on the clock input
frequencies and the use of fractional P input dividers. When an input P divider is fractional, the associated input
frequency must be 300 MHz or higher to meet the hitless switching specifications.
5.2.3. 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.

Si5344H-42H-RM
5.2.4. 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 of up to 1.5 ns for a maximum
phase transient, when the switch occurs during a gap in either input clocks. Figure 8 shows a 100 MHz clock with
one cycle removed every 10 cycles, which results in a 90 MHz periodic non-gapped output clock.

5.3. Fault Monitoring
The input clocks (IN0, IN1) are monitored for loss of signal (LOS) and out-of-frequency (OOF). Note that 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 asserted when the DSPLL loses synchronization within the feedback
loop. Figure 9 shows the fault monitors for each input path going into the DSPLL, which includes the crystal input
as well as IN0/IN1.

5.3.1. Input Loss of Signal (LOS) Fault 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 when set, always stays asserted until cleared.

The precision OOF monitor circuit measures the frequency of all input clocks to within up to ±2 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 ±2 ppm to ±500 ppm in steps of 2 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 Figure 12. 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–IN1) as the 0 ppm OOF reference instead of the
XA/XB pins is available. This option is register configurable.

Table 13 lists the OOF monitoring and control registers. Because the precision OOF monitor needs to provide
1 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 ±4000 ppm.

5.3.3. Loss of Lock Fault Monitoring
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. A block diagram of the LOL monitor is shown in Figure 13.
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 Configuration
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 15. Interrupt Pin Status Flag 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. Output Clocks
Each driver has a configurable voltage swing and common mode voltage covering a wide variety of differential
signal formats including LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, and CML. In addition to supporting differential signals, any of the
outputs can be configured as single-ended LVCMOS (3.3, 2.5, or 1.8 V) providing up to 20 single-ended outputs or
any combination of differential and single-ended outputs.
6.1. Output Crosspoint Switch
A crosspoint switch allows any of the output drivers to connect with any of the MultiSynths as shown in Figure 16.
The crosspoint configuration is programmable and can be stored in NVM so that the desired output configuration is
ready at power up. Any MultiSynth output can connect to multiple output drivers.

6.2. Performance Guidelines for Outputs
Whenever a number of high frequency, fast rise time, large amplitude signals are all close to one another, the laws
of physics dictate that there will be some amount of crosstalk. The jitter of the Si5344H/42H 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
Si5344H/42H 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 Si5344H/42H 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 16.
Table 16. Example of Output Clock Frequency Sequencing Choice

Using this example, a few guidelines are illustrated:
1. 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.
2. Adjacent frequency values that are integer multiples of one another are okay and these outputs should be
grouped accordingly. Noting that because 155.52 x 4 = 622.08 and 156.25 x 4 = 625, it is okay to place these
frequency values close to one another.
3. 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
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 “ Appendix A—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 ohms. See Appendix A 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
There are two selectable differential output swing modes: Normal and High. Each output can support a 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 18 lists the registers that control the output voltage swing. The output
impedance in the Normal Swing Mode is 100  differential. Any of the terminations shown in Figure 17 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  PCB traces. Any of the
terminations shown in Figure 17 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.
Vpp_diff is 2 x Vpp_se as shown in Figure 18.

The common mode voltage (VCM) for the differential Normal and High Swing modes is programmable in 100 mV
increments from 0.7 to 2.3 V depending on the voltage available at the output's VDDO pin. Setting the common
mode voltage is useful when dc coupling the output drivers. High swing mode may also cause an increase in the
rise/fall time.

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. Each output
driver automatically detects the voltage on the VDDO pin to properly determine the correct output voltage.
6.3.7. LVCMOS Output Polarity
When a driver is configured as an LVCMOS output it generates a clock signal on both pins (OUTx and OUTx). By
default the clock on the OUTx pin is generated with the same polarity (in phase) with the clock on the OUTx 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
1. Normal or Low Power Format
2. Amplitude (sometimes called Swing)
3. Common Mode Voltage
4. Stop High or Stop Low
The normal Format setting has a 100 ohm internal resistor between the plus and minus output pins. The Low
Power Format setting removes this 100 ohm internal resistor and then the differential output resistance will be
> 500 . 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 Si5344H/42H 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 24.

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.

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 to be disabled.

6.5. Output Skew Control (t0–t3)
The Si5344H/42H uses independent MultiSynth dividers (N0–N3) to generate up to four unique frequencies to its
ten outputs through a crosspoint switch. By default all clocks are phase aligned. A delay path (t0–t3) associated
with each of these dividers is available for applications that need a specific output skew configuration. This is useful
for PCB trace length mismatch compensation or for applications that require quadrature clock generation. The
resolution of the phase adjustment is approximately 1 ps per step definable in a range of ±8.32 ns. Phase
adjustments are register configurable. An example of generating two frequencies with unique configurable path
delays is shown in Figure 20.

7. Digitally-Controlled Oscillator (DCO) Mode
The Si5344H/Si5342H supports DCO mode. In DCO mode, all outputs are controlled simultaneously. The DCO
mode can be set up using the ClockBuilder Pro setup wizard.
Alternatively, DCO mode can be setup using the steps described in this section. The equations and register writes
in Section 7.1 allow for modulation of outputs with three register writes—two divide value registers and one register
write to update frequency. Two byte divide values allow a DCO mode range of ±150 ppm and approximately 10 ppb
resolution per bit. DCO update rate is primarily limited by the SPI bus speed. Given a sufficient SPI bus rate, DCO
update rate of 200 kHz or higher can be achieved.
In jitter attenuation mode, the device operates in dual-loop mode—the inner loop referenced to a crystal or XO tied
to XA/XB pins and outer loop referenced to INx. In DCO mode, there is no INx input, and so the outer loop is
disabled. The PLL inner loop feedback divider (MXAXB) can be externally controlled to produce the desired
instantaneous output frequency. Fixing the MXAXB denominator and modulating only the numerator produces a
linear frequency change across the full DCO range.
7.1. DCO Register Writes
To configure the device in DCO mode, you must first generate a ClockBuilder Pro configuration with nominal output
frequencies.
Once the ClockBuilder Pro configuration is written to the device, the following DCO initial values must be written to
the device to instantiate DCO mode.
1. Write OUTERLOOP_DIS = 1
2. Write MXAXB_NUM[43:0] = 0x000005F58000 = 99,975,168dec
3. Write MXAXB_DEN[31:0] = ROUND {99,975,168 * FXTAL/(FVCO)}
4. Write MXAXB_FUPD = 1
Note: FVCO is listed in the ClockBuilder Pro Frequency Plan Result Design Report.
Once instantiated, MXAXB_NUM[15:0] can be incremented or decremented in 10 ppb steps per LSB (1 /
99,975,168 per LSB). For example, to change the outputs by –1 ppm, 100 steps, write MXAXB_NUM[15:0] =
0x7F9C.
7.1.1. Other DCO Step Sizes
The previous example describes a DCO setup with 10 ppb steps. Other step sizes can be achieved by replacing
MXAXB_NUM and MXAXB_DEN values with below.
As in the previous example, write the initial ClockBuilder Pro configuration into the device followed by the setup
registers below to instantiate DCO mode.
1. Write OUTERLOOP_DIS = 1
2. Write MXAXB_NUM[43:0]
a. For resolution RES set MXAXB_NUM to 1/RES rounded to the nearest 15 bits. For example, for
1.6 ppb resolution round 1/1.6E–9 to nearest 15 bits to get 624,984,064dec, or MXAXB_NUM =
0x25408000.
3. Write MXAXB_DEN[31:0] = ROUND {MXAXB_NUM * FXTAL/(FVCO)}
4. Write MXAXB_FUPD = 1
Note: FVCO is listed in the ClockBuilder Pro Frequency Plan Result Design Report.
As before, MXAXB_NUM[15:0] can be incremented or decremented with resolution RES per LSB.

8. Serial interface
Configuration and operation of the Si5344H/42H 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 Si5344H/42H 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.

The SPI_3WIRE configuration bit selects the option of
4-wire or 3-wire SPI communication. By default, the
SPI_3WIRE configuration bit is set to the 4-wire option.
In this mode, the Si5344H/42H 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.

8.1. I2C Interface
When in I2C mode, the serial interface operates in slave mode with 7-bit addressing and can operate in StandardMode (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 24. Both the
SDA and SCL pins must be connected to a supply via an external pull-up (4.7 k) as recommended by the I2C
specification as shown in Figure 22. Two address select bits (A0, A1) are provided allowing up to four Si5344H/42H
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.

8.2. SPI Interface
When in SPI mode, the serial interface operates in 4-wire or 3-wire depending on the state of the SPI_3WIRE
configuration bit. The 4-wire interface consists of a clock input (SCLK), a chip select input (CS), serial data input
(SDI), and serial data output (SDO). The 3-wire interface combines the SDI and SDO signals into a single
bidirectional data pin (SDIO). Both 4-wire and 3-wire interface connections are shown in Figure 26.

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 27 shows an example of writing three bytes of data using the write
commands. This demonstrates that the “Write Burst Data” command is the most efficient method for writing data to
sequential address locations. Figure 28 provides a similar comparison for reading data with the read commands.
Note that there is no burst read, only read increment.

To simplify design and software development of systems using the Si5344H/42H, a field programmer is available.
The ClockBuilder Pro Field Programmer supports both “in-system” programming (for devices already mounted on
a PCB), as well as “in-socket” programming of Si5344H/42H sample devices. Refer to www.silabs.com/

10. XAXB External References
10.1. 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 29. 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. Frequency offsets due to CL mismatch can be adjusted using the frequency
adjustment feature which allows frequency adjustments of ±200 ppm. The recommended crystal suppliers is
provided in Table 32 with PCB layout recommendations for the crystal to ensure optimum jitter performance.

Figure 29. Crystal Resonator and External Reference Clock Connection Options
The Si5344H/42H 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  or 50  load. For this
reason, place the TCXO as close to the Si5344H/42H as possible to minimize PCB trace length. In addition, ensure
that both the Si5344H/42H and the TCXO are both connected directly to the ground plane. Figure 30 shows the
recommended method of connecting a clipped sine wave TCXO to the Si5344H/42H. Because the Si5344H/42H
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 Si5344H/42H 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 31 illustrates the recommended method of connecting a CMOS railto-rail output to the XA/XB inputs of the Si5344H/42H. 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 Si5344H/42H XA input.
If an external oscillator is used as the XAXB reference, it is important to use a low jitter source because there is
essentially no jitter attenuation from the XAXB pins to the outputs.

The Si5344H/42H 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 Table 32. For
best jitter performance, keep the REFCLK frequency above 40 MHz.
For applications with loop BW values less than 10 Hz that require low wander output clocks, using a TCXO as the
XAXB reference source should be considered to avoid the wander of a crystal.

10.2. Recommended Crystals
There are two classes of crystals that are recommended: those that are tested over temperature for activity dips and those that are not. There is a cost
premium for testing over temperature. An activity dip is defined as when the crystal oscillation frequency changes by more than 2 ppm/C for any
temperature between –40 °C and 75 °C. It is estimated that ~0.1% of crystals that are not tested over temperature for activity dips will have an activity dip
at some temperature. Customers may contact the vendors to ask that any non-premium crystal be tested over temperature for activity dips. Similarly, any
crystal that is tested over temperature can likely be purchased for a lower cost if you prefer to not pay the higher cost for the temperature testing.
Table 32 lists the presently recommended crystals. Other vendors can also supply crystals that meet the specs in Figures 32 and 33.

In general, a crystal meeting the requirements of Figure 32 or Figure 33 and having a max power rating of at least 200 µW is guaranteed to oscillate. It is
preferred that a crystal have a CL rating of 8 pF. Crystals with CL not equal to 8 pF can be used, but the XAXB_FREQ_OFFSET register word may be
needed to compensate for oscillation frequency error.

11. Crystal and Device Circuit Layout Recommendations
The main layout issues that should be carefully considered include the following:
1. Number and size of the ground vias for the Epad
2. Output clock trace routing
3. Input clock trace routing
4. Control and Status signals to input or output clock trace coupling
5. Xtal signal coupling
6. Xtal layout (See “11.1.2. Si5342H/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 (4 and 7) 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.
11.1. 44-Pin QFN Si5344H/42 Layout Recommendations
This section details the layout recommendations for the 44-pin Si5344H and Si5342H devices using an example 6layer 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.

11.1.1. Si5342H/44 Applications without a Crystal
If the 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 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  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 XAXB 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.

11.1.2. Si5342H/44 Crystal Guidelines
Figure 35 is the second layer. The second layer implements the shield underneath the crystal. The shield extends
underneath the entire crystal and the X1 and X2 pins. There should be no less than 12 vias to connect the X1 and
X2 planes on layers 1 and 2. These vias are not shown in any other figures. All traces with signals that are not
static must be kept well away from the crystal and the X1 and X2 plane.

Si5344H-42H-RM
Figure 39 shows the bottom layer, which continues the void underneath the shield. Layer 6 and layer 1 are mainly
used for low speed CMOS control and status signals for which crosstalk is not a significant issue. PCB ground can
be placed under the XTAL Ground shield (X1/X2) as long as the PCB ground is at least 0.05 inches below it.
Figure 39. Low-Speed CMOS Control and Status Signal Layer 6 (Bottom Layer)
For any high-speed, low-jitter application, the clock signal runs should be impedance-controlled to 100 
differential or 50  single-ended. Differential signaling is preferred because of its increased immunity to commonmode noise. All clock I/O runs should be properly terminated.

12.2. Power Supply Recommendations
The power supply filtering generally is important for optimal timing performance. The Si5344H/42H devices have
multiple stages of on-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.
12.3. Power Supply Sequencing
Four classes of supply voltages exist on the Si5344H/42H:
1. VDD = 1.8 V (Core digital supply)
2. VDDA = 3.3 V (Analog supply)
3. VDDOx = 1.8/2.5/3.3 V ± 5% (Clock output supply)
4. VDDS = 1.8/3.3 V ± 5% (Digital I/O supply)
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.
12.4. 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.

13. Register Map
13.1. Base vs. Factory Preprogrammed Devices
The Si5344H/42H devices can be ordered as “base” or “factory-preprogrammed” (also known as “custom OPN”)
versions.
13.1.1. “Base” Devices (a.k.a. “Blank” Devices)
Example
“base” orderable part numbers (OPNs) are of the form “Si5344H-C-GM”.
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 XAXB 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.
Base
13.1.2. “Factory Preprogrammed” (Custom OPN) Devices
Factory
preprogammed devices use a “custom OPN”, such as Si5344H-Cxxxxx-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/clockbuilder-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" on page
15.)

13.2. Register Map Overview and Default Settings Values
The Si5344H/42H 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 regiister map
settings by accessing the part number lookup utility at:
www.silabs.com/products/clocksoscillators/clock-generator/Pages/clockbuilder-lookup.aspx
Register map settings values are listed in the datasheet addendum, which can also be accessed by using the link

The IO_VDD_SEL configuration bit selects the option of operating the serial interface voltage thresholds from the
VDD or the VDDA pin. The serial interface pins are always 3.3 V tolerant even when the device's VDD pin is
supplied from a 1.8 V source. When the I2C or SPI host is operating at 3.3 V and the Si5344H/42H at VDD = 1.8 V,
the host must write the IO_VDD_SEL configuration bit to the VDDA option. This will ensure that both the host and
the serial interface are operating at the optimum voltage thresholds.

APPENDIX A—SETTING THE DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT DRIVER TO
NON-STANDARD AMPLITUDES
In some applications it may be desirable to have larger or smaller differential amplitudes than produced by the
standard LVPECL and LVDS settings, as selected by CBPro. In these cases, the following information describes
how to implement these amplitudes by writing to the OUTx_CM and OUTx_AMPL setting names. Contact Silicon
Labs for assistance if you want your custom configured device to be programmed for any of the settings in this
appendix.
The differential output driver has a variable output amplitude capability and 2 basic formats, normal and low power
format. The difference between these two formats is that the normal format has an output impedance of ~100 ohms
differential and the low power format has an output impedance of > 500 ohms differential. Note that the rise/fall
time is slower when using the Low Power Differential Format. See the Si5344H/42H data sheet for the rise/fall time
specifications.
If the standard LVDS or LVPECL compatible output amplitudes will not work for a particular application, the variable
amplitude capability can be used to achieve higher or lower amplitudes. For example, a “CML” format is sometimes
desired for an application. However, CML is not a defined standard and hence the amplitude of a CML signal for
one receiver may be different than that of another receiver.
When the output amplitude needs to be different than standard LVDS or LVPECL, the Common Mode Voltage
settings must be set as shown in Table 51. No settings other than the ones in Table 51 are supported as the signal
integrity could be compromised. In addition the output driver should be AC coupled to the load so that the common
mode voltage of the driver is not affected by the load.
