SI5351A-B-GM1R
Overview
The SI5351A-B-GM1R is an I2C-configurable clock generator capable of synthesizing up to 8 independent non-integer related frequencies from 8kHz to 200MHz. It functions as a crystal oscillator replacement, featuring a fractional-N synthesis architecture that allows for zero ppm frequency error. This specific variant is optimized for use with an external crystal and provides LVCMOS outputs in a compact 3x3mm 16-QFN package.
Why Choose This Part
The SI5351A eliminates the need for multiple discrete crystals, saving significant PCB space and reducing cost. It offers excellent frequency flexibility with a wide supply voltage range of 2.25V to 3.6V and a low operating current of 24mA. The I2C interface allows for dynamic frequency reconfiguration during operation, which is critical for systems requiring multiple power modes or varying data rates.
