40G/100G Ethernet

For designers of next generation 40G / 100G Ethernet systems, high performance FPGAs typically require a variety of high performance timing solutions, including programmable XOs, jitter attenuating clocks, and clock generators. Our Si570 programmable XO is an ideal solution in this application since it offers easy I²C programming and sub picosecond reference clock generation for the Si5368/69 jitter attenuators and Si5335 clock generators.

With its programmable loop bandwidth, our Si5368/69 precision clock generators provide and ideal solution to jitter cleaning of the recovered network I/F clocks. Finally, with its sub-picosecond jitter and industry-leading PSRR performance, our Si5335 quad clock generator simplifies the PCB by replacing numerous XOs needed by the memory and high speed serial interfaces provided by the FPGA.
