Additional Details

The SI5335D-B04175-GMR operates from a 1.8V or 2.5V power supply. The 'B04175' portion of the part number is a factory-programmed configuration that defines the default output frequencies and other settings. The device can be programmed and controlled using the I2C interface, allowing for dynamic adjustment of output frequencies, signal levels, and other parameters. The SI5335D family is particularly known for its low jitter performance, making it well-suited for applications sensitive to timing noise and signal integrity. The ability to support multiple output formats provides flexibility when interfacing with other components. The programmable output skew allows for precise control over the timing relationships between different clock outputs, which is critical in many high-speed digital designs. This makes the SI5335D-B04175-GMR a versatile and reliable solution for demanding timing requirements.
