The Chorus™ Automotive SiT91281 is a low jitter, automotive grade clock generator engineered for applications where reliability and environmental robustness are critical. It comes with a single clock domain, 4 configurable differential or 8 single-ended low skew outputs, and FailSafe™ technology that includes clock safety monitors and programmable alarms.
The SiT91281 integrates SiTime’s MEMS resonator, eliminating the need for an external oscillator or resonator. This integrated MEMS improves system reliability by eliminating traditional clock generators’ dependence on quartz and its associated issues like high failure rates and matching requirements.
The device is configurable in output frequency, output driver types (differential and LVCMOS) and individual output enables through the serial interface. Internal monitoring features help improve system Functional Safety metrics by using the general purpose I/O (GPIO) pins and device registers to report fault conditions to a safety manager MCU.
The SiT91281 is compliant with PCIe Generation 1-6 including configurable spread-spectrum clocking.
User-defined, pre-programmed and user-programmable non-volatile memory (NVM) enables a high degree of flexibility. Configurable GPIO pins support state changes such as individual output enable selection.
