OC-12/3, STM-4/1 SONET/SDH CDR IC WITH LIMITING AMPLIFIER

The SI5013 is a fully-integrated, high-performance Limiting Amplifier (LA) and Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) IC for high-speed serial Communication systems. It derives Timing information and data from a serial input at OC-12/3 and STM-4/1 rates. Use of an external reference Clock is optional. Silicon Laboratories DSPLL technology eliminates sensitive noise entry points, thus making the PLL less susceptible to board-level interaction and helping to ensure optimal jitter performance. The SI5013 represents a new standard in low jitter, low power, small size, and integration for high-speed LA/CDRs. It operates from a 3.3 V supply over the industrial temperature range (40 to 85 C).
