Product details
Overview
SI52111-B3-GM2R from Skyworks Solutions is a PCIe Gen 1/Gen 2–compliant single-output clock generator with HCSL differential output, 100 MHz frequency, 3.3 V supply, and 10-pin TDFN (3×3 mm) package. It accepts 25 MHz crystal or clock input and delivers ultra-low jitter (28 ps typical cycle-to-cycle, 1.35 ps RMS phase jitter for Gen 2), targeting PCIe root complex and endpoint timing in space-constrained embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI52111-B3-GM2R datasheet, SI52111-B3-GM2R pinout, SI52111-B3-GM2R application, or SI52111-B3-GM2R equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, PCIe Gen 2 timing compliance data, spread-spectrum exclusion confirmation, and validated alternative options for consumer and industrial clocking designs.
Technical Context
The SI52111-B3-GM2R integrates a PLL-based clock synthesis architecture with a fixed 4× multiplication ratio to generate 100 MHz from a 25 MHz reference. Its output stage uses a low-power HCSL driver with 0.7 V common-mode voltage and no external termination required.
It operates across –40 °C to +85 °C with 3.3 V ±10% supply, draws ≤13 mA active current, and supports both crystal (XIN/XOUT) and single-ended clock (CLKIN) inputs. Unlike the B4 variant, the B3 version has no spread-spectrum capability-confirmed by explicit datasheet statement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 100 MHz - precisely meets PCIe Gen 1/2 reference clock requirement. |
| Output Type | HCSL differential - enables direct interface to PCIe receivers without external resistors or level-shifting. |
| Jitter (Cycle-to-Cycle) | 28 ps typical - ensures robust setup/hold margins in high-speed serial links. |
| Jitter (PCIe Gen 2 Phase, 10 kHz–1.5 MHz) | 1.35 ps RMS - satisfies PCIe Gen 2 specification limit of ≤3.0 ps. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±10% - compatible with standard I/O rail; no auxiliary supplies needed. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for extended industrial and consumer ambient conditions. |
| Package | 10-pin TDFN, 3×3 mm - enables compact PCB layout in dense server, storage, and networking boards. |
Pinout & Package
SI52111-B3-GM2R uses a 10-pin TDFN package (3×3 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is top-left corner (marking dot adjacent), pins numbered counter-clockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 10 | VDD | 3.3 V power supply inputs - dual VDD pins reduce IR drop and improve PSRR. |
| 2 | XOUT | Crystal oscillator output - must be left floating when using CLKIN-only mode. |
| 3 | XIN/CLKIN | 25 MHz crystal or clock input - accepts either parallel-resonant crystal or CMOS-level 25 MHz signal. |
| 4, 5 | VSS | Dedicated ground pins - separate return paths minimize noise coupling into sensitive analog PLL section. |
| 6, 7 | DIFF1 | Differential 100 MHz HCSL output - complementary pair (DIFF1+, DIFF1–) with 0.7 V common-mode voltage. |
| 8, 9 | NC | No-connect terminals - must remain unconnected; not internally bonded. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PCIe Gen 1 & Gen 2 compliance | Validated 100 MHz output with <3.0 ps RMS phase jitter (10 kHz–1.5 MHz) and <86 ps pk-pk jitter - meets PCI-SIG electrical requirements. |
| Integrated HCSL driver | 0.7 V common-mode, 300–550 mV swing, no external termination - eliminates four 50 Ω resistors per output, saving board area and BOM cost. |
| Low power operation | ≤13 mA supply current at 3.3 V - reduces thermal load in fanless or thermally constrained enclosures. |
| Crystal or clock input flexibility | Single pin (XIN/CLKIN) accepts either 25 MHz crystal (with XOUT) or buffered 25 MHz clock - simplifies design reuse across reference clock source options. |
| Extended temperature range | –40 °C to +85 °C operation - supports deployment in network-attached storage, routers, and industrial edge gateways. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PCIe Gen 2 clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si52111-B4-GM2R | Identical pinout and specs, but adds –0.5% down-spread spectrum (31.5 kHz modulation); B3 lacks spread capability. | Required where EMI reduction mandates spread-spectrum clocking; unsuitable if deterministic jitter profile is mandatory. | Select B4 only if system-level EMI testing fails with B3; otherwise B3 offers simpler timing analysis. |
| ICS843001AGI-01LFT | 8-pin SOIC package, 100 MHz HCSL output, PCIe Gen 2 compliant, but higher 18 mA supply current and larger 5×5.5 mm footprint. | Better suited for prototyping or legacy layouts where TDFN reflow is unavailable; less optimal for high-density routing. | Choose only when board assembly process cannot support 3×3 mm TDFN or when SOIC handling is preferred. |
Compared with SI52111-B3-GM2R, the B4 variant adds EMI-reducing spread spectrum at identical performance and footprint, while the ICS843001AGI-01LFT trades size and power efficiency for through-hole/SOIC compatibility-making SI52111-B3-GM2R optimal for new compact, low-power PCIe designs.

FAQ
Does SI52111-B3-GM2R support spread-spectrum clocking?
No, SI52111-B3-GM2R does not support spread-spectrum outputs. The "B3" suffix explicitly denotes absence of spread-spectrum capability, unlike the B4 variant which provides –0.5% down-spread. This makes SI52111-B3-GM2R appropriate for applications requiring deterministic jitter profiles and strict phase-noise control.
What is the maximum allowable input clock duty cycle for SI52111-B3-GM2R?
The SI52111-B3-GM2R accepts a 25 MHz input clock with a duty cycle between 45% and 55%, as specified in Table 3 of the datasheet. Deviations outside this range may impact internal PLL lock stability and increase output jitter beyond guaranteed limits.
Can SI52111-B3-GM2R drive two PCIe slots simultaneously?
No, SI52111-B3-GM2R provides only one differential HCSL output (DIFF1). It is designed for single-lane PCIe timing; driving multiple slots requires either a clock fanout buffer or a multi-output generator such as the Si5330x family.
Is external termination required for the DIFF1 output of SI52111-B3-GM2R?
No, SI52111-B3-GM2R's HCSL output driver is internally terminated. The datasheet confirms "no termination resistors required," enabling direct connection to PCIe receiver inputs with 50 Ω AC-coupled differential traces-reducing BOM count and layout complexity.
What is the recommended crystal load capacitance for SI52111-B3-GM2R?
The SI52111-B3-GM2R requires a 25 MHz parallel-resonant AT-cut crystal with 12–15 pF load capacitance, as specified in Table 6. Using crystals outside this range may degrade long-term accuracy beyond the 250 ppm max spec or cause startup failure.
