The Cascade™ SiT95141 is a single-chip MEMS clock generator optimized for the highest level of clock tree integration. This clock-system-on-a-ch
ip (ClkSoC) consolidates multiple clock ICs and oscillators into a single device. Its low noise quad-PLL architecture and programmable output drivers provide up to 10 differential or 20 LVCMOS low-jitter clock outputs. It supports 4 additional clock inputs with Frac-N dividers, enabling virtually any input-to-output frequency translation configurations from 8 kHz to 2.1 GHz.
This clock generator integrates SiTime’s third-generation ApexMEMS™ resonator. This integrated MEMS approach eliminates the traditional clock dependency on crystal reference and quartz related issues, and improves system robustness:
Always accurate clock synthesis by eliminating crystal capacitive mismatch
Always reliable startup even at cold temperature and in other harsh environmental conditions
No jitter degradation because of noise coupling onto a crystal interface
No activity dips/frequency jumps inherent with quartz
10x more resistant to vibration and board bending
The SiT95141 is supported by TimeMaster™ software that simplifies clock tree design. The device can also be shipped with a user-specified, factory pre-programmed default startup configuration. The device configuration can be re-programmed twice using two banks of one-time-programmabl
e (OTP) memory during manufacturing or configured in-system via I2C/SPI for additional BOM flexibility.
