Product details
Overview
SI5332BD15678-GM2R from Skyworks is a programmable 8-output clock generator using MultiSynth™ fractional synthesis, delivering 190 fs RMS phase jitter (external crystal), integer/fractional output frequencies up to 333.33 MHz, and user-configurable LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL/LVCMOS signal formats per output. It serves as a high-density clock tree synthesizer in Ethernet switches and PCIe Gen5/6 systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI5332BD15678-GM2R datasheet, SI5332BD15678-GM2R pinout, SI5332BD15678-GM2R application, or SI5332BD15678-GM2R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40-pin QFN package, dual fractional synthesis paths, independent VDDO banks, I²C programmability, and PCIe Gen1–6 compliance with SRIS support.
Technical Context
The SI5332BD15678-GM2R implements a wideband PLL paired with two independent MultiSynth™ fractional synthesis blocks and five integer dividers, enabling simultaneous generation of non-integer-related frequencies across eight differential outputs. Its cross-point mux routes any synthesized or divided frequency to any output bank.
It operates in free-run mode using an external 16–50 MHz crystal or synchronously locks to differential (10–250 MHz) or LVCMOS (10–170 MHz) inputs. Output banks A and B each share dedicated VDDO pins, supporting mixed-supply operation at 1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V for LVCMOS and 1.8/2.5/3.3 V for differential formats.

| Configurable output format per pin | Each of 8 outputs independently set to LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL, or LVCMOS-supports mixed-signal timing in multi-voltage SoC interfaces |
| Independent VDDO banks | Two dedicated VDDO pairs allow Bank A (OUT0–OUT3) and Bank B (OUT4–OUT7) to operate at different supply voltages (e.g., 1.8 V and 3.3 V simultaneously) |
| Multi-profile NVM storage | Up to 16 complete clock configurations stored in on-chip NVM; enables fast, glitchless on-the-fly switching between system operating modes |
| Spread spectrum modulation | Programmable down-spread or center-spread (0.1–2.5% in 0.01% steps at 30–33 kHz) reduces EMI without affecting timing integrity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5338A-D-GM2 | 4-output, lower channel count; 185 fs RMS jitter; no embedded crystal option; only one fractional synth path | Suitable for simpler timing trees where ≤4 outputs and relaxed jitter (<200 fs) suffice | Select when cost-sensitive designs require fewer outputs and do not need multi-profile NVM or dual fractional synthesis |
| LMK04832RHAT | 14-output, dual-loop architecture; 110 fs RMS jitter (with external VCXO); requires external loop filter; higher power | Targeted at ultra-low-jitter radar and test equipment where sub-120 fs is mandatory | Choose when system-level jitter budget demands <120 fs RMS and design can accommodate external components and higher thermal load |
Compared with Si5338A-D-GM2, SI5332BD15678-GM2R delivers 4 additional outputs, dual fractional synthesis, and multi-profile NVM-ideal for dense switch/router timing. Versus LMK04832RHAT, it trades 80 fs lower jitter for lower BOM complexity, no external filters, and integrated crystal support-better suited for space-constrained communications infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum differential output frequency supported by the SI5332BD15678-GM2R?
The SI5332BD15678-GM2R supports differential output frequencies up to 333.33 MHz, verified per the Si5332 Data Sheet Section 5 (Electrical Specifications). This capability enables direct clocking of PCIe Gen6 controllers and 12G-SDI video interfaces without external frequency multiplication. The 333.33 MHz limit applies to all differential formats (LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL) and is achievable with both integer and fractional synthesis modes in the SI5332BD15678-GM2R.
Does the SI5332BD15678-GM2R include an embedded crystal?
No, the SI5332BD15678-GM2R does not include an embedded crystal. Its part number suffix "D" indicates the external crystal variant (Si5332D grade), requiring a 16–50 MHz fundamental-mode crystal connected to XA/XB pins. Embedded crystal versions use suffixes E/F/G/H/L (e.g., SI5332EGM2R). This distinction is confirmed in the Si5332 Ordering Guide (Figure 2.1) and Functional Description section of the official datasheet.
How many independent voltage domains does the SI5332BD15678-GM2R support for its clock outputs?
The SI5332BD15678-GM2R supports two independent voltage domains for its clock outputs, implemented via separate VDDO pin pairs: VDDO0/VDDO1 for Bank A (OUT0–OUT3) and VDDO2/VDDO3 for Bank B (OUT4–OUT7). Each domain can be set to 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V for differential outputs, enabling mixed-supply operation in multi-rail systems-a feature validated in the Si5332-GM2 block diagram (Figure 3.2) and Pin Descriptions (Section 6.2).
Can the SI5332BD15678-GM2R generate PCIe Gen5 reference clocks with SRIS compliance?
Yes, the SI5332BD15678-GM2R is explicitly specified as PCIe Gen1/2/3/4/5/6 and SRIS compliant per the Si5332 Data Sheet Features List and Electrical Specifications. Its 190 fs RMS phase jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) meets the PCIe Gen5 SRIS jitter budget (≤2.0 ps RMS), and its programmable spread spectrum supports down-spread and center-spread modes required for EMI reduction in host platforms using SI5332BD15678-GM2R.
What software tool is used to configure the SI5332BD15678-GM2R, and does it assign custom part numbers?
Skyworks' ClockBuilder Pro™ software is used to configure the SI5332BD15678-GM2R. It validates frequency plans, generates register maps, and assigns unique 5-digit NVM codes (e.g., D15678 in SI5332BD15678-GM2R) for factory programming. Devices ordered with such custom part numbers are preprogrammed at no additional charge, as documented in the Si5332 Data Sheet Sections 1 (Features) and 2 (Ordering Guide).
