Product details
Overview
SI5332BD15678-GM2 from Skyworks is an 8-output, programmable clock generator based on MultiSynth™ fractional synthesis technology, delivering 190 fs RMS phase jitter with external crystal reference. It supports up to eight differential outputs (LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL/LVCMOS), independent per-output signal format configuration, and operates across –40 to +85 °C. Used in Ethernet switches and PCIe Gen5/6 timing subsystems requiring low-jitter, multi-frequency clock trees.
For engineers reviewing the SI5332BD15678-GM2 datasheet, SI5332BD15678-GM2 pinout, SI5332BD15678-GM2 application, or SI5332BD15678-GM2 equivalent, key selection factors include its 40-pin QFN package, dual MultiSynth fractional synthesis paths, six VDDO supply pins for mixed-voltage output banks, I²C programmability, and factory preprogrammed NVM configuration support.
Technical Context
The SI5332BD15678-GM2 implements a wideband PLL locked to a 16–50 MHz external crystal (XA/XB) or differential input clock, feeding two independent MultiSynth fractional synthesis paths and five integer dividers. Its cross-point mux routes any synthesized or divided frequency to any of eight differential outputs.
Each output bank (A/B) shares a dedicated VDDO supply (1.8/2.5/3.3 V), enabling mixed-signal voltage operation. Hardware input pins are user-configurable via ClockBuilder Pro for functions including OE, spread spectrum enable, or input clock selection - without register-level firmware changes.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5332BD15678-GM3 | 48-pin QFN, supports 12 outputs and four VDDO banks vs. GM2's 8 outputs and two banks | Required when >8 outputs or >4 independent supply domains needed | Select GM3 only if additional outputs or finer VDDO segmentation justify larger footprint and cost |
| Si5341-B-GM2 | Higher integration: includes integrated 50 MHz crystal, lower 175 fs RMS jitter, but fixed 8-output pinout | Better for space-constrained designs where embedded crystal eliminates XTAL layout complexity | Choose Si5341-B-GM2 when board area is critical and 50 MHz crystal integration simplifies design validation |
Compared with SI5332BD15678-GM2, the GM3 offers higher output density at the cost of PCB area, while the Si5341-B-GM2 trades external crystal flexibility for lower jitter and smaller layout footprint - both require distinct clock tree planning due to non-identical pinouts and register maps.

FAQ
What is the maximum differential output frequency supported by SI5332BD15678-GM2?
The SI5332BD15678-GM2 supports differential output frequencies from 5 MHz to 333.33 MHz. This range applies to all supported formats - LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL, and LVCMOS - and is achievable using either the MultiSynth fractional synthesis paths or integer dividers. The upper limit is validated under standard operating conditions (–40 to +85 °C, nominal VDD/VDDO).
Does SI5332BD15678-GM2 include an embedded crystal?
No, SI5332BD15678-GM2 does not include an embedded crystal. It belongs to the Si5332A/B/C/D series, which requires an external 16–50 MHz fundamental-mode crystal connected to XA/XB pins. Embedded crystal variants (e.g., Si5332E/F/G/H/L) use the "E" through "L" suffix and are physically distinct parts with different ordering codes and package markings.
How many independent output supply domains does SI5332BD15678-GM2 support?
The SI5332BD15678-GM2 supports six independent VDDO supply pins (VDDO0–VDDO5), grouped to serve four dedicated outputs (OUT0–OUT3) and two output banks (Bank A: OUT4/OUT4b; Bank B: OUT5/OUT5b/OUT6/OUT6b/OUT7/OUT7b). This allows concurrent operation at different voltage levels - for example, 1.8 V LVDS and 3.3 V HCSL - without level-shifting circuitry.
Can SI5332BD15678-GM2 be configured without ClockBuilder Pro software?
Yes, SI5332BD15678-GM2 can be configured via its I²C interface using custom firmware or host processor code. ClockBuilder Pro is optional and used primarily for GUI-based configuration, NVM programming, and custom part number assignment. All register-level control is documented in the Si5332 Register Map (Rev 206453A), enabling full in-system programmability without proprietary tools.
Is SI5332BD15678-GM2 compliant with PCIe Gen6 reference clock specifications?
Yes, SI5332BD15678-GM2 meets PCIe Gen6 reference clock requirements, including jitter (≤1.0 ps RMS, 12 kHz–20 MHz), slew rate, and spectral mask compliance. Its 190 fs RMS phase jitter (measured with external crystal) provides substantial margin below the Gen6 specification, and spread spectrum functionality supports SRIS mode for enhanced EMI reduction in high-speed link environments.
