Si5351 Clock Generator

Post by tripalreno4 »

Hi: I have an Si5351 on order.
I simply want to generate 1MHz clock pulses.
Questions:
1. Do I need an Arduino to set up or remain connected to the Si5351?
2. If not, please advise how to set up the Si5351 to generate 1 MHz pulses.
Your help much appreciated.
Best regards.

You will need an MCU. The factory loaded defaults can not be updated. So the MCU is needed to change to your desired settings after power on. SI has something called a ClockBuilder app, which you can use for coming up with these settings. But you still need the MCU to actually set them.
