Product details
Overview
SI5332AC08967-GM1 from Silicon Labs is a 6-output, 32-pin QFN programmable clock generator using MultiSynth™ fractional synthesis to deliver any-frequency outputs up to 333.33 MHz with 190 fs RMS phase jitter (external crystal). It supports LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL/LVCMOS per-output signal formatting and operates across –40 to +85 °C for Ethernet switch timing and server clock tree consolidation.
For engineers reviewing the SI5332AC08967-GM1 datasheet, SI5332AC08967-GM1 pinout, SI5332AC08967-GM1 application, or SI5332AC08967-GM1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6-differential-output capability, external 16–50 MHz crystal interface, independent VDDO per output bank, I²C programmability, and PCIe Gen1–4/SRIS compliance - all in a compact 5×5 mm QFN package.
Technical Context
The SI5332AC08967-GM1 implements a two-stage synthesis architecture: a wideband PLL locks to an external 16–50 MHz crystal (XA/XB), then feeds up to three independent MultiSynth fractional dividers and five integer dividers. Its cross-point mux routes any synthesized or divided frequency to any of six differential outputs.
Each output supports user-configurable format (LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL/LVCMOS), skew adjustment (±122.5 ps in 35 ps steps), and synchronous enable/disable. Input selection is configurable via register or two universal hardware pins (CLKIN_SEL[1:0]), and spread spectrum (down/center, 0.1–2.5%) is supported per MultiSynth path.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5332BC08967-GM1 | Same 32-QFN package and pinout; Si5332B variant supports max 200 MHz output (vs. 333.33 MHz for Si5332A) | Limited to lower-speed protocols (e.g., 1G/2.5G Ethernet, SATA); not suitable for PCIe Gen4 or 25G+ SerDes | Select only if output frequencies ≤200 MHz and cost sensitivity outweighs future-proofing needs. |
| Si5338AC08967-GM1 | 4-output, 24-QFN device; uses older MultiSynth architecture with higher jitter (250 fs RMS) and no spread spectrum | Lower channel count and reduced feature set; lacks PCIe/SRIS compliance and per-output format control | Consider only for legacy designs where footprint and cost are critical and 190 fs jitter is not required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by the SI5332AC08967-GM1?
The SI5332AC08967-GM1 supports differential output frequencies up to 333.33 MHz and LVCMOS outputs up to 170 MHz. This capability is enabled by its MultiSynth™ fractional synthesis architecture and applies specifically to the Si5332A variant (external crystal), which the SI5332AC08967-GM1 belongs to. Higher frequencies require verification against the specific ClockBuilder Pro configuration and layout constraints.
Does the SI5332AC08967-GM1 include an embedded crystal?
No, the SI5332AC08967-GM1 does not include an embedded crystal. It is a Si5332A variant, which requires an external 16–50 MHz fundamental-mode crystal connected to the XA/XB pins. Embedded crystal versions (e.g., Si5332E/F/G/H) use a factory-integrated 50 MHz MEMS resonator and are designated with different suffixes.
How many universal hardware input pins does the SI5332AC08967-GM1 have?
The SI5332AC08967-GM1 has five user-configurable universal hardware input pins (Input1–Input5), as confirmed in the Si5332-GM1 block diagram (Figure 3.3) and datasheet Section 3.3. These pins can be assigned in ClockBuilder Pro to functions including output enable (OE#), spread spectrum enable, input clock selection (CLKIN_SEL), or I²C address select.
Is the SI53332AC08967-GM1 pin-compatible with other Si5332 variants in the same package?
Yes, the SI5332AC08967-GM1 shares identical pinout and package (32-pin QFN, 5×5 mm) with all other Si5332-GM1 variants (e.g., Si5332BC08967-GM1, Si5332CC08967-GM1). Pin compatibility is maintained across Si5332A/B/C/D grades in the GM1 package, enabling drop-in substitution when frequency and jitter requirements align.
What clock protocols does the SI5332AC08967-GM1 officially support?
The SI5332AC08967-GM1 is explicitly documented as PCIe Gen1/2/3/4 and SRIS compliant in the datasheet Features List. Its 190 fs RMS jitter performance, programmable spread spectrum, and output format flexibility meet the timing requirements of these protocols without external cleanup circuits.
