Additional Details:
The SI5335D-B08036-GM utilizes a digital PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) architecture to create precise output frequencies. The outputs are configurable through an I2C or SPI interface. The 'B08036' portion of the part number signifies a specific factory-programmed configuration. Therefore, it is critical to refer to the product datasheet for the exact frequency plan and other electrical specifications. The 'GM' suffix usually indicates package type and temperature range.
Proper power supply decoupling is essential for achieving the stated jitter performance. Careful PCB layout, including impedance control for clock traces, and minimizing trace lengths, is also important. The power supply voltage generally required is 1.8V or 3.3V, depending on the specific configuration. The datasheet will contain specific information.
