Si5371/5372 and Si5342H/5344H Coherent Optical Clocks
The Silicon Labs coherent optical clocks are purpose-built to address the needs of coherent optical communications applications. Each of the low jitter outputs can be configured as a high speed output (up to 2.75 GHz) or a general clock output (up to 717.5 MHz). The Si5371/5372/5344H/5342H leverages 4th generation DSPLL® technology to clean recovered clocks, DCO mode for coherent DSP control via a fast SPI interface, and integrated MultiSynth fractional synthesis to support eye-diagram monitors, FEC, and MUX/DEMUX clock requirements. Such single-chip integration enables designers to meet the stringent performance, form-factor, and power requirements demanded in 100G/200G/400G line cards and modules.

Evaluate Coherent Optical Clocks
The easiest way to begin development with the Coherent Optical Clocks family is with an EVB kit. The development kit make it easy to move from ClockBuilder Pro device configuration to hands-on performance evaluation.
