Product details
Overview
SI5332AC09628-GM3 from Silicon Labs is a 12-output, factory-programmed any-frequency clock generator with MultiSynth™ fractional synthesis, delivering 190 fs RMS phase jitter (external crystal), 5–333.33 MHz differential output range, and user-configurable LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL/LVCMOS signal formats per output. It serves as a single-chip clock tree solution in high-speed Ethernet switches and PCIe Gen4-compliant server timing systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI5332AC09628-GM3 datasheet, SI5332AC09628-GM3 pinout, SI5332AC09628-GM3 application, or SI5332AC09628-GM3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 48-pin QFN package, embedded 50 MHz crystal option (C-grade), 12-differential-output capability, –40 to +85 °C industrial temperature rating, and I²C programmability for multi-profile configuration.
Technical Context
The SI5332AC09628-GM3 implements a two-stage synthesis architecture: a wideband PLL locks to either an external 16–50 MHz crystal or an embedded 50 MHz crystal, then feeds up to three independent MultiSynth fractional dividers and five integer dividers. Its cross-point mux routes any synthesized frequency to any of twelve differential outputs.
Each output bank (A–D) shares a dedicated VDDO supply (1.8/2.5/3.3 V), enabling mixed-voltage operation; output skew is adjustable in 35 ps steps; and spread spectrum (down/center, 0.1–2.5%) is supported per MultiSynth path without external components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar any-frequency clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5332BC09628-GM3 | Same 48-QFN package and 12-output architecture, but B-grade: max 200 MHz output frequency (vs. 333.33 MHz), integer-only synthesis mode | Limited to lower-frequency applications (e.g., 1G/2.5G Ethernet, SATA), not suitable for PCIe Gen4 or 100G Ethernet | Select only if output frequencies ≤200 MHz and fractional synthesis is unnecessary |
| Si5332DC09628-GM3 | D-grade variant: identical 333.33 MHz capability and fractional synthesis, but requires external crystal (no embedded crystal option) | Requires external 50 MHz crystal and load caps; adds PCB area and layout sensitivity vs. C-grade's integrated crystal | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs board space constraints and crystal placement risk |
Compared with SI5332AC09628-GM3, the B-grade alternative sacrifices high-frequency support and synthesis flexibility, while the D-grade retains full performance but increases design complexity with external crystal integration-making the C-grade optimal for compact, high-performance, turnkey timing solutions.

The SI5332AC09628-GM3 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 engine and is validated for integer and fractional modes-making SI5332AC09628-GM3 suitable for PCIe Gen4 (100 MHz ref + 333.33 MHz derived), 100G Ethernet (250 MHz), and broadcast video (297 MHz) applications.
Does SI5332AC09628-GM3 include an embedded crystal?
Yes, SI5332AC09628-GM3 is a C-grade device featuring a factory-integrated 50 MHz crystal, eliminating the need for external crystal components, load capacitors, or crystal layout optimization. This embedded crystal option reduces PCB area, improves jitter stability over temperature, and simplifies qualification-distinct from A/B/D-grade variants that require external crystals.
How many independent power domains does SI5332AC09628-GM3 support for its outputs?
SI5332AC09628-GM3 supports six independent VDDO supply pins, grouped across four output banks (A–D), allowing each bank to operate at 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V. This enables simultaneous driving of mixed-voltage interfaces-such as 1.8 V SerDes PHYs, 2.5 V MACs, and 3.3 V management MCUs-from a single SI5332AC09628-GM3 device without external level shifters.
Can SI5332AC09628-GM3 be reprogrammed after deployment?
Yes, SI5332AC09628-GM3 supports full in-system programming via its I²C interface (SCLK/SDATA pins). While factory-programmed with a ClockBuilder Pro configuration, users can update frequency plans, output formats, spread spectrum settings, or multi-profile selections in the field-enabling design iteration, firmware-based timing adaptation, and post-deployment calibration without hardware changes to SI5332AC09628-GM3.
What jitter performance does SI5332AC09628-GM3 deliver with its embedded crystal?
SI5332AC09628-GM3 achieves 190 fs RMS phase jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz integration bandwidth) when using its embedded 50 MHz crystal reference. This meets stringent requirements for PCIe Gen4 SRIS, 100G Ethernet IEEE 802.3bs, and SMPTE ST 2059-2 grandmaster clocks-validated per the official Si5332 Data Sheet Rev. 1.1 and confirmed in Silicon Labs' published jitter reports for C-grade devices.
