ClockBuilder Pro Software

Customized Clocking Has Never Been Easier

ClockBuilder Pro is a user-friendly software tool that simplifies clock tree design, providing system designers with the ability to customize Silicon Labs’ Clock Generators, Jitter Attenuators, Buffers and Oscillator products. The tool’s graphical user interface guides users through a step-by-step process to enter the reference clock parameters specific to each design, which results in a configuration file. ClockBuilder Pro also provides users with real time feedback on key performance parameters, offering suggestions to optimize power consumption and RMS phase jitter performance. Once a configuration file is complete, the tool can generate a custom part number and provide a corresponding datasheet addendum. ClockBuilder Pro is also used as the primary interface to communicate with Silicon Labs with evaluation boards as well as the Field Programmer Tool.
