Description
The Si5321 is a precision clock multiplier that exceeds the requirements of high-speed
communication systems, including OC-192/OC-48 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. This device
phase locks to an input clock in the 19, 39, 78, 155, 311 or 622 MHz frequency range
and generates a frequency-multiplied clock output that can be configured for operation
in the 19, 39, 78, 155, 622, 1244, or 2488 MHz frequency range. Silicon Laboratories
DSPLL® technology provides PLL functionality with unparalleled performance. It
eliminates external loop filter components, provides programmable loop parameters,
and simplifies design. FEC rates are supported by selectable forward and reverse 255/
238 (15/14), 255/237 (85/79), and 66/64 (33/32) conversion factors. The ITU-T G.709
255/237 rate and the IEEE 802.3ae 66/64 rate are supported when using a 155 MHz or
higher rate input clock. The performance and integration of Silicon Laboratories’ Si5321
clock IC provides high-level support of the latest specifications and systems. It operates
from a single 3.3 V supply.

Notes:
1. The Si5321 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 Si5321 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.

2. Functional Description
The Si5321 is a high-performance precision clock
multiplication and clock generation device. This device
accepts a clock input in the 19, 39, 78, 155, 311, or
622 MHz range, attenuates significant amounts of jitter,
and multiplies the input clock frequency to generate a
clock output in the 19, 39, 78, 155, 311, 622, 1250, or
2500 MHz range. Additional forward or reverse clock
rate scaling by a factor of 255/238, 255/237, or 66/64 is
provided. This allows systems to easily provide clocks
that are scaled for forward error correction (FEC) rates.
The 255/238 and 255/237 factors support the ITU-T
G.709 requirements for optical transport unit (OTU) OC48 and OC-192 rates. The 66/64 factor allows
conversion between XSBI and 10 GbE Base R rates.
Typical applications for the Si5321 in SONET/SDH
systems are generation and/or cleaning of 19.44, 38.88,
77.76, 155.52, 311.04, 622.08, 1244.16, or
2488.32 MHz clocks from 19.44, 38.88, 77.76, 155.52,
311.04, or 622.08 MHz clock sources.
The Si5321 employs Silicon Laboratories DSPLL®
technology to provide excellent jitter performance while
minimizing the external component count and
maximizing flexibility and ease of use. The Si5321
DSPLL phase locks to the input clock signal, attenuates
jitter, and multiplies the clock frequency to generate the
device’s SONET/SDH-compliant clock output. The
DSPLL loop bandwidth is user selectable, allowing
Si5321 jitter performance optimization for different
applications. The Si5321 can produce a clock output
with jitter generation as low as 0.3 psRMS (see Table 4
on page 10), making the device an ideal solution for
clock multiplication in SONET/SDH (including OC-48,
OC-192, and OC768), Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 GbE
systems.
The Si5321 monitors the clock input signal for loss-ofsignal and provides a loss-of-signal (LOS) alarm when it
detects missing pulses. The Si5321 provides a digital
hold capability that allows the device to continue
generation of a stable output clock when the input
reference is lost.
2.1. DSPLL®
The Si5321’s phase-locked loop (PLL) uses Silicon
Laboratories' DSPLL technology to eliminate jitter,
noise, and the need for external loop filter components
found in traditional PLL implementations. This is
achieved by using a digital signal processing (DSP)
algorithm to replace 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 voltage-
controlled oscillator (VCO). The technology produces
low phase noise clocks with less jitter than is generated
using traditional methods. See Figure 4 for an example
phase noise plot. In addition, because external loop
filter components are not required, sensitive noise entry
points are eliminated thus making the DSPLL less
susceptible to board-level noise sources. This digital
technology also provides highly-stable and consistent
operation over all process, temperature, and voltage
variations. The benefits are smaller, lower power,
cleaner, reliable, and easy-to-use clock circuits.
2.1.1. Selectable Loop Filter Bandwidth
The digital characteristics of the DSPLL loop filter allow
control of the loop filter parameters without the need to
change external components. The Si5321 provides the
user with up to eight user-selectable loop bandwidth
settings for different system requirements. The base
loop bandwidth is selected using the BWSEL[1:0] pins
along with BWBOOST = 0 pins. When the BWBOOST
is driven high, the bandwidth selected on the
BWSEL[1:0] pins is doubled. (See Table 7.)
When the BWBOOST pin is asserted, the Si5321 shows
improved jitter generation performance. The BWBOOST
function is defined only when hitless recovery and FEC
scaling are disabled. Therefore, when BWBOOST is
high, the user must also drive FXDDELAY high and
FEC[1:0] to 000 for proper operation.
2.2. Clock Input and Output Rate Selection
The Si5321 provides a 1/32x, 1/16x, 1/8x, 1/4x, 1/2x,
1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, 64x, or 128x clock frequency
multiplication function with an option for additional
frequency scaling by a factor of 255/238, 238/255, 255/
237, 237/255, 66/64, or 64/66 for FEC rate compatibility.
Output rates vary in accordance with the input clock
rate. The multiplication factor is configured by selecting
the input and output clock frequency ranges for the
device.
The Si5321 accepts an input clock in the 19, 38, 77,
155, 311, or 622 MHz frequency range. The input
frequency range is selected using the INFRQSEL[2:0]
pins. The INFRQSEL[2:0] settings and associated
output clock rates are listed in Table 8.
The Si5321’s DSPLL phase locks to the 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 a clock output in
the 19, 39, 78, 155, 311, 622, 1250, or 2500 MHz
frequency range. The clock output range is selected
using the frequency select (FRQSEL[2:0]) pins. The
FRQSEL[2:0] settings and associated output clock rates
are given in Table 9.

Si5321
The Si5321 clock input frequencies are variable within
the range specified in Table 3 on page 7. The output
rates are scaled accordingly. If a 19.44 MHz input clock
is used, the clock output frequency is 19.44, 38.88,
77.76, 155.52 MHz, etc.

2.2.1. FEC Rate Conversion
The Si5321 provides a 1/32x, 1/16x, 1/8x, 1/4x, 1/2x,
1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, 64x, or 128x clock frequency
multiplication function with an option for additional
forward or reverse frequency scaling by a factor of 255/
238 (15/14), 255/237 (85/79), or 66/64 (33/32) for FEC
rate conversion applications. The 255/237 and the 66/
64 rate conversions requires the input clock rate to be in
the 155 MHz or higher ranges. The multiplication factor
is configured by selecting the input and output clock
frequency ranges for the device. The additional
frequency scaling for FEC rate conversion is selected
using the FEC[2:0] control inputs.
For example, a 622.08 MHz output clock (a non-FEC
rate) can be generated from a 19.44 MHz input clock (a
non-FEC rate) by setting INFRQSEL[2:0] = 001
(19.44 MHz range), setting FRQSEL[2:0] = 011 (32x
multiplication) and setting FEC[2:0] = 000 (no FEC
scaling). A 666.51 MHz output clock (an FEC rate) can
be generated from a 19.44 MHz input clock (a non-FEC
rate) by setting INFRQSEL[2:0] = 001 (19.44 MHz
range), setting FRQSEL[2:0] = 011 (32x multiplication)

and setting FEC[2:0] = 001 (255/238 FEC scaling).
.
Finally, a 622.08 MHz output clock (a non-FEC rate) can
be generated from a 20.83 MHz input clock (an FEC
rate) by setting INFRQSEL[2:0] = 001 (19.44 MHz
range), setting FRQSEL[2:0] = 011 (32x multiplication)
and setting FEC[2:0] = 010 (238/255 FEC scaling).

2.3. PLL Performance

jitter transfer function with low peaking and a high
degree of jitter attenuation.

Figure 6. PLL Jitter Transfer Mask/Template
2.3.1. Jitter Generation
2.3.3. Jitter Tolerance
Jitter generation is defined as the amount of jitter
produced at the output of the device with a jitter free
input clock. Generated jitter arises from sources within
the VCO and other PLL components. Jitter generation is
a function of the PLL bandwidth setting. Higher loop
bandwidth settings may result in lower jitter generation
but may also result in less attenuation of jitter than
might be present on the input clock signal.
Jitter tolerance for the Si5321 is defined as the
maximum peak-to-peak sinusoidal jitter that can be
present on the incoming clock. The tolerance is a
function of the jitter frequency because tolerance
improves for lower input jitter frequency.
2.3.2. Jitter Transfer
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 Si5321 provides tightlycontrolled 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 and provides more consistent system level jitter
performance.
The jitter transfer characteristic is a function of the
BWSEL[1:0] setting. Lower bandwidth settings result in
more jitter attenuation of the incoming clock but may
result in higher jitter generation. Table 4 on page 10
gives the 3 dB bandwidth and peaking values for
specified BWSEL settings. Figure 6 shows the jitter
transfer curve mask.

2.4. Loss-of-Signal Alarm
The Si5321 has loss-of-signal (LOS) circuitry that
constantly monitors the CLKIN input clock for missing
pulses. The LOS circuitry sets a LOS output alarm
signal when missing pulses are detected.
The LOS circuitry operates as follows. Regardless of
the selected input clock frequency range, the LOS
circuitry divides down the input clock into the 19 MHz
range. The LOS circuitry then over-samples this divided
down input clock to search for extended periods of time
without input clock transitions. If the LOS circuitry
detects four consecutive samples of the divided down
input clock that are the same state (i.e., 1111 or 0000), a
LOS condition is declared; the Si5321 goes into digital
hold mode, and the LOS output alarm signal is set high.
The LOS sampling circuitry runs at a frequency of fO_78,
where fO_78 is the output clock frequency when the
FRQSEL[2:0] pins are set to 100. Figure 3 on page 5
and Table 3 on page 7 list the minimum and maximum
transitionless time periods required for declaring a LOS
on the input clock (tLOS).
Rev. 2.5
19
Si5321
Once the LOS alarm is asserted, 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 1 ms. When VALTIME is high, the
validation time period is about 100 ms. If another LOS
condition is detected on the input clock during the
validation time (i.e., if another set of 1111 or 0000
samples are detected), the LOS alarm remains asserted
and the validation time starts over. When the LOS alarm
is finally released, the Si5321 exits digital hold mode
and locks to the input clock. The LOS alarm is
automatically set high at power-on and at every low-tohigh transition of the RSTN/CAL pin. In these cases, the
Si5321 undergoes a self-calibration before releasing the
LOS alarm and locking to the input clock.
The Si5321 also provides an output indicating the digital
hold status of the device, DH_ACTV. The Si5321 only
enters the digital hold mode upon the loss of the input
clock. When this occurs, the LOS alarm will also be
active. Therefore, applications that require monitoring of
the status of the Si5321 need only monitor the
CAL_ACTV and either the LOS or DH_ACTV outputs to
know the state of the device.
2.5. Digital Hold of the PLL
When no valid input clock is available, the Si5321
digitally holds the internal oscillator to its last frequency
value. This provides a stable clock to the system until an
input clock is valid again. This clock maintains stable
operation in the presence of constant voltage and
temperature. The frequency accuracy specifications for
digital hold mode are given in Table 4 on page 10.
2.6. Hitless Recovery from Digital Hold
When the Si5321 device is locked to a valid input clock,
a loss of the input clock switches the device to digital
hold mode. 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 executes “phase build-out” to absorb the phase
difference between the internal VCO clock operating in
digital hold mode and the new/returned input clock. The
maximum phase step seen at the clock output during
this transition, and the maximum slope of this step, is
specified in Table 4 on page 10.
Asserting the Fixed Delay (FXDDELAY) pin disables
this feature and the output clock phase and frequency
locks with a known phase relationship to the input clock.
Consequently, abrupt phase change on the input clock
propagates through the device and the output slews at
the loop bandwidth until the phase relationship is
restored.

2.7. Reset
The Si5321 provides a Reset/Calibration pin (RSTN/
CAL) that resets the device and disables all of the
device outputs. When the RSTN/CAL pin is driven low,
the internal circuitry enters reset mode and all LVTTL
outputs are forced into a high-impedance state. Also,
the CLKOUT+ and CLKOUT– pins are connected to
VDD25 through 100  on-chip resistors. This feature is
useful for applications that employ redundant clock
sources and 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.
2.8. PLL Self-Calibration
The Si5321 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 also can be manually initiated by a low-tohigh transition on the RSTN/CAL input.
A self-calibration should be initiated after changing the
state of the FEC[2:0] inputs. Whether manually initiated
or automatically initiated at powerup, the self-calibration
process requires the presence of a valid input clock.
If the self-calibration is initiated without a valid input
clock, the device waits for a valid input clock before
executing the self-calibration. The Si5321 does not
provide an output clock while waiting for a valid input
clock or while executing its self-calibration. When the
input clock is validated, the calibration procedure
executes to completion; the device locks to the input
clock, and the output clock turns on. Subsequent losses
of the input clock do not require self-calibration. If the
input clock is lost following self-calibration, the device
enters digital hold mode with the output clock frequency
held to its last value before the LOS condition was
Rev. 2.5
Si5321
detected. When the input clock returns and is validated,
the device exits digital hold mode by re-locking to the
input clock without executing another self-calibration.
2.9. Bias Generation Circuitry
The Si5321 makes use of an external resistor to set
internal bias currents. The external resistor allows
precise generation of bias currents, which significantly
reduces power consumption and variation as 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
The Si5321 provides a differential input for the clock
input, CLKIN. This input is internally-biased to a voltage
of VICM (see Table 2 on page 6) and may be driven by a
differential or single-ended driver circuit. For
transmission line termination, the termination resistor is
connected externally as shown.
2.11. Differential Output Circuitry
The Si5321 utilizes a current mode logic (CML)
architecture to drive the differential clock output,
CLKOUT.
For single-ended output operation simply connect to
either CLKOUT+ or CLKOUT– and leave the unused
signal unconnected.
2.12. Power Supply Connections
The Si5321 incorporates an on-chip voltage regulator to
power the device from a 3.3 V supply. The voltage
regulator requires an external compensation circuit of
one resistor and one capacitor to ensure stability over
all operating conditions.
Internally, the Si5321 VDD33 pins are connected to the
on-chip voltage regulator input and to the device’s
LVTTL I/O circuitry. The VDD25 pins supply power to the
core DSPLL circuitry, and are also used for connection
of the external compensation circuit.
The regulator’s compensation circuit is a resistor and a
capacitor in series between the VDD25 node and ground.
Typically, the resistor is incorporated into the capacitor’s
equivalent series resistance (ESR). The target RC time
constant for this combination is 15 to 50 s. The
capacitor used in the Si5321 evaluation board is a 33 f
tantalum capacitor with an ESR of 0.8 . This gives an
RC time constant of 26.4 s. The Venkel part number
TA6R3TCR336KBR is an example of a capacitor that
meets these specifications. (See Figure 5.)
To get optimal performance from the Si5321 device, the
power supply noise spectrum must comply with the plot
in Figure 9. This plot shows the power supply noise
tolerance mask for the Si5321. 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 Si5321, consider the following:





22
Power the device from 3.3 V since the internal
regulator provides >40 dB of isolation to the VDD25
pins (which power the PLL circuitry).
When powering the device from 3.3 V, 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 highfrequency harmonics.

that require a known or constant input-to-output

When this pin is high, hitless switching from digital
hold mode back to a valid clock input is disabled.
When switching from digital hold mode to a valid
clock input with FXDDELAY high, the clock output
changes as necessary to re-establish the initial/
default input-to-output phase relationship that is
established after powerup or reset. The rate of
change is determined by the setting of BWSEL[1:0].
When this pin is low, hitless switching from Digital
Hold mode back to a valid clock input is enabled.
When switching from digital hold mode to a valid
clock input with FXDDELAY low, the device enables
“phase build out” to absorb the phase difference
between the clock output and the clock input so that
the phase change at the clock output is minimized.
In this case, the input-to-output phase relationship
following the transition out of digital hold mode is
determined by the phase relationship at the time
that switching occurs.
Note: FXDDELAY should remain at a static high or static
low level during normal operation. Transitions on
this pin are allowed only when the RSTN/CAL pin
is low. FXDDELAY must be set high when
BWBOOST is set high.
