Si5351A/B/C
18 Preliminary Rev. 0.95
5.2. Si5351 Application Examples
The Si5351 is a versatile clock generator which serves a wide variety of applications. The following examples show
how it can be used to replace crystals, crystal oscillators, VCXOs, and PLLs.
5.3. Replacing Crystals and Crystal Oscillators
Using an inexpensive external crystal, the Si5351A can generate up to 8 different free-running clock frequencies
for replacing crystals and crystal oscillators. A 3-output version packaged in a small 10-MSOP is also available for
applications that require fewer clocks. An example is shown in Figure 13.
