Si5332-AM1/2/3 Automotive Grade Device
Reference Manual
The Si5332-AM1/2/3 is a family of high-performance, low-jitter clock generators capable
of synthesizing five independent banks of user-programmable clock frequencies up to
333.33 MHz, while providing up to 12 differential or 24 single-ended output clocks. The
Si5332 supports free run operation using an external crystal as well as lock to an exter-
nal clock signal. The output drivers are configurable to support common signal formats,
such as LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, and LVCMOS. Separate output supply pins allow supply
voltages of 3.3 V, 2.5 V, 1.8 V and 1.5 V (CMOS only) to power the multi-format output
drivers. The core voltage supply (VDD) accepts 3.3 V, 2.5 V, or 1.8 V and is independent
from the output supplies (VDDOs). Using its two-stage synthesis architecture and paten-
ted high-resolution Multisynth technology, the Si5332 can generate three fully independ-
ent/non-harmonically-related bank frequencies from a single input frequency.
