Crystal oscillators offer lowest jitter performance

“These XOs provide much greater frequency flexibility and excellent jitter margin for demanding applications, including 100G/200G/400G line cards and optical modules, hyperscale data centres, wireless infrastructure and military/aerospace,” said James Wilson, senior marketing director for timing products.

Available with single, dual and quad frequency options in an industry-standard 3.2 x 5mm package, the Si54x offers drop-in compatibility with traditional XOs and supports all popular output formats, including LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL, CML, CMOS and dual CMOS. Devices can be factory-programmed to any frequency in the range from 200kHz to 1.5GHz.
