A one chip fractional-N synthesizer with on-chip digital PLL:

Don't have any inkling how it looks phase-noise wise.

Is this pretty much the same technology in, say, an Si570?

Tim,
I'm no expert but that doesn't look much like a SI570 at all.
It looks to me like you can hook an external crystal (or intermittent signal) and create a multiple of that as a stable output in a pretty limited frequency range. The SI570 requires no external clock signal looks like Pavarotti by comparison- from a range standpoint. If the price was right I'm sure there could be some applications for the CS2100.

The differences for the CS2xxx are:
- better to solder by hand
- still high, but lower resolution than Si57x
- can be phase-locked to external low-frequency signal
- expensive too
- lower max. frequency
- phase noise considerable worsen

In principle it looks like similar technique. The Si57x includes the
high-frequency quartz, here the CS2xxx have an input.

The Si57x does not have the low-frequency input.

Not quite;

1. The SI570 has a built in reference, this part does not.
2. This part has an average 70ps jitter, the SI570 .3 ps jitter

Phase noise wise it's way worse.
