I didn't find a simple table. But I have found a Silicon Labs web page that is linked to a database. You enter the part number and it displays the chip information including the start-up frequency. Go to URL:- http://www.silabs.com/products/clocksoscillators/Pages/Utilityintro.aspx Use Option 1. Then use default sub-option of "Oscillator". Enter you Si570 part number starting with 570. For Thomas's chip above you would enter:- 570CAC000141 Press to "Go" button which looks like a right arrow. Results returned tell us that it was a custom ordered chip with a start up frequency of 56.32 MHz.
