Si5351A/B/C
Preliminary Rev. 0.95 19
5.4. Replacing Crystals, Crystal Oscillators, and VCXOs
The Si5351B combines free-running clock generation and a VCXO in a single package for cost sensitive video
applications. An example is shown in Figure 14.

5.5. Replacing Crystals, Crystal Oscillators, and PLLs
The Si5350C generates synchronous clocks for applications that require a fully integrated PLL instead of a VCXO.
Because of its dual PLL architecture, the Si5351C is capable of generating both synchronous and free-running
clocks. An example is shown in Figure 15.
