Description
CMOS VCXO
The Si515 VCXO utilizes Silicon Laboratories' advanced PLL technology to
provide any frequency from 100 kHz to 250 MHz. Unlike a traditional VCXO where
a different crystal is required for each output frequency, the Si515 uses one fixed
crystal and Silicon Labs’ proprietary synthesizer to generate any frequency across
this range. This IC-based approach allows the crystal resonator to provide
enhanced reliability, improved mechanical robustness, and excellent stability. In
addition, this solution provides superior control voltage linearity and supply noise
rejection, improving PLL stability and simplifying low jitter PLL design in noisy
environments. The Si515 is factory-configurable for a wide variety of user
specifications, including frequency, supply voltage, output format, tuning slope and
stability. Specific configurations are factory-programmed at time of shipment,
eliminating long lead times and non-recurring engineering charges associated with
custom frequency oscillators.
