2. SI52147-A01A Core Technology Highlights
Multi-Generation PCIe Compatibility for Future-Proofing
Full-Generation Support: Fully compatible with PCIe Gen 1 (2.5 GT/s), Gen 2 (5.0 GT/s), and Gen 3 (8.0 GT/s) standards.
SRNS Support: Supports Gen 3 SRNS (Separate Reference Clock with No SSC) architecture to meet the latest motherboard and peripheral interoperability requirements.
Forward-Looking Design: Select configurations adapt to PCIe Gen 4 common clock specifications, protecting customer investments and extending product lifecycles.
Nine Outputs, Flexible Configuration
High-Density Output: Single chip delivers 9 differential clock outputs (HCSL level), directly driving CPUs, GPUs, chipsets, NVMe SSD controllers, and PCIe switches.
Independent Enable: Features 6 hardware output enable pins, allowing system software to dynamically activate or deactivate specific output channels, significantly reducing system power consumption and simplifying power management.
Zero-delay buffering: Select output groups support zero-delay buffering mode, ensuring strict synchronization between multiple clocks.
Exceptional signal quality and interference resistance
Ultra-low jitter: Utilizes Skyworks' patented DSPLL™ technology to deliver extremely low root mean square (RMS) phase jitter, minimizing bit error rate (BER) for high-speed data transmission.
Spread Spectrum Clock (SSC): Built-in programmable spread spectrum functionality effectively reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI), helping systems easily pass stringent EMC certifications like FCC/CE.
High Stability: Industrial-grade temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) adapts to complex, harsh environments such as data centers and outdoor base stations.
Minimalist Design & Low Power
Single Crystal Oscillator Drive: Operates with just one low-cost 25 MHz crystal, significantly reducing BOM costs and PCB footprint.
Compact Package: Utilizes a space-saving QFN-48 (6x6 mm) package to conserve valuable board space.
Low-Power Operation: Features extremely low typical operating current and independent output enable control for enhanced system power efficiency.
