Suitable for broadband, wireless infrastructure, and broadcasting/video industries

Silicon Labs announced a new family of high-performance crystal oscillators (XO) that provide flexible frequencies with the lowest jitter in the industry.

The Si54x Ultra Series ^™ XO exhibits extremely low jitter characteristics of less than 80 femtoseconds (fs) across the entire operating range for both integer and fractional frequencies.

XO products provide best-in-class frequency flexibility and excellent jitter margins for highly demanding applications such as 100G/200G/400G line cards and optical modules, hyperscale data centers, broadband, wireless infrastructure, broadcast video, industrial, instrumentation, military, and aviation.

The Si54x Ultra Series XO is available in single, dual, and quad frequency options and is supplied in an industry-standard 3.2mm x 5mm package. It can be easily replaced with existing XO products via a drop-in method, and guarantees high reliability and very fast delivery.

James Wilson, Senior Director of Timing Product Marketing at Silicon Labs, stated, “Today’s optical networks, hyperscale data centers, and mobile fronthaul/backhaul networks are becoming increasingly faster, driving the need for ultra-low jitter timing solutions.” He added, “By adopting Silicon Labs’ Si54x Ultra Series oscillators, system designers can not only enjoy the best jitter design margins and extremely short lead times, but also realize that they are using the product with the greatest frequency flexibility in the industry.”
