Custom Clock Generator Configurator

Configuration and control of Silicon Labs clock generators is mainly handled through the I2C/SMBus interface. The device also provides the option of storing a user-definable clock configuration in its non-volatile memory (NVM), which becomes the default clock configuration at power-up. Changes to the default configuration can always be made through the I2C interface.

The first step in ordering a custom device is generating an NVM file which defines the input and output clock frequencies and signal formats. This is easily done using the ClockBuilder Desktop software available for download below.

This GUI based software generates an NVM file, which is used by the factory to manufacture custom parts. Each custom part is marked with a unique part number identifying the specific configuration (e.g., Si5338C-A00100-GM). Consult your local sales representative for more details on ordering custom clock generators.
