Product details
Overview
SI5332BD15716-GM2 from Skyworks is an 8-output, 40-pin QFN programmable clock generator using MultiSynth™ fractional synthesis to deliver up to 333.33 MHz differential outputs with 190 fs RMS phase jitter (external crystal), PCIe Gen1–6 compliance, and independent per-output signal format selection (LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL/LVCMOS). It serves as a single-chip clock tree solution in Ethernet switches and storage controllers.
For engineers reviewing the SI5332BD15716-GM2 datasheet, SI5332BD15716-GM2 pinout, SI5332BD15716-GM2 application, or SI5332BD15716-GM2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-differential-output capability, 40-QFN package with six VDDO supply pins, factory-programmable NVM configuration via ClockBuilder Pro, and support for mixed-voltage output banks (1.8/2.5/3.3 V).
Technical Context
The SI5332BD15716-GM2 implements a wideband PLL paired with two independent MultiSynth™ fractional synthesis paths 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 (XA/XB) or synchronous mode using differential (10–250 MHz) or LVCMOS (10–170 MHz) inputs. Output banks A and B each share one VDDO pin, while OUT0–OUT3 have dedicated VDDO0–VDDO3; all outputs support configurable skew, enable/disable, and spread spectrum (0.1–2.5% down/center).

| OUT0–OUT7, OUT0b–OUT7b | Differential clock outputs | Eight fully configurable differential pairs; OUT0–OUT3 have dedicated VDDO; OUT4–OUT7 grouped in Bank A (VDDO4) and Bank B (VDDO5) |
| VDDO0–VDDO5 | Output driver supply | Independent power rails per output or bank; enables mixed-voltage interface (e.g., 1.8 V CPU + 3.3 V PHY) |
| SCLK, SDATA | I²C serial interface | Configures device at power-up or runtime; supports ClockBuilder Pro field programming and multi-profile switching |
| IN1–IN7 | Universal hardware inputs | Programmable in ClockBuilder Pro as OE, spread-spectrum enable, input select, or I²C address pins |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MultiSynth™ fractional synthesis | Enables zero-ppm error generation of arbitrary frequencies up to 250 MHz on any output, eliminating discrete oscillators |
| Cross-point mux architecture | Routes any MultiSynth or integer-divided clock to any output bank, enabling flexible clock tree mapping without redesign |
| Per-output signal format control | Each of eight outputs independently set to LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL, or LVCMOS-reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| Embedded multi-profile NVM | Stores up to 16 configurations; enables glitchless on-the-fly frequency changes for dynamic system reconfiguration |
| Adjustable output-output delay | Programmable skew per output pair; aligns clock edges across heterogeneous interfaces (e.g., DDR + PCIe) |
| Spread spectrum modulation | Down or center spread (0.1–2.5% at 30–33 kHz); reduces EMI peak emissions 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5332BD15717-GM2 | Same 8-output 40-QFN package but with embedded 50 MHz crystal (lower jitter: 175 fs RMS) | Preferred where board space prohibits external crystal layout or ultra-low jitter is critical (e.g., test equipment) | Select when crystal placement constraints exist or jitter budget is tighter than 190 fs |
| LMK04832RHAT | 14-output, dual-loop PLL with integrated LDOs; higher power, larger 40-QFN footprint; 115 fs jitter | Used in radar and instrumentation requiring ultra-low jitter and deterministic latency; lacks per-output format flexibility | Choose for applications needing <120 fs jitter and deterministic delay, accepting higher cost and power |
Compared with SI5332BD15716-GM2, Si5332BD15717-GM2 offers lower jitter via embedded crystal but forfeits external crystal tuning range; LMK04832RHAT provides superior jitter and latency control but lacks per-output signal format configurability and increases BOM complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum differential output frequency supported by the SI5332BD15716-GM2?
The SI5332BD15716-GM2 supports differential output frequencies up to 333.33 MHz. This enables direct generation of PCIe Gen6 reference clocks (325 MHz), 100G KR4 SerDes references (156.25 MHz × 2), and OTN OTU4 clocks (159.5125 GHz base rate divided down). The device maintains 190 fs RMS phase jitter across this full range when using an external crystal.
Does the SI5332BD15716-GM2 require an external crystal to operate?
Yes, the SI5332BD15716-GM2 requires an external 16–50 MHz fundamental-mode crystal connected to XA/XB pins for free-run operation. Unlike embedded-crystal variants (e.g., Si5332E/F/G/H/L), it does not contain an integrated resonator. The crystal's load capacitance is programmable from 2.5 pF to 21.5 pF via internal registers.
How many independent voltage domains does the SI5332BD15716-GM2 support for its clock outputs?
The SI5332BD15716-GM2 supports six independent output supply domains via VDDO0–VDDO5. Outputs OUT0–OUT3 each have dedicated VDDO pins; OUT4–OUT5 share VDDO4 (Bank A); OUT6–OUT7 share VDDO5 (Bank B). This enables mixed-supply operation-e.g., 1.8 V for CPU interfaces and 3.3 V for legacy PHYs-without level shifters.
Can the SI5332BD15716-GM2 generate both integer and non-integer output frequencies simultaneously?
Yes, the SI5332BD15716-GM2 integrates two independent MultiSynth™ fractional synthesis paths and five integer dividers. This allows concurrent generation of non-integer-related frequencies (e.g., 156.25 MHz + 122.88 MHz) and integer multiples (e.g., 100 MHz + 200 MHz) across its eight outputs, all with zero ppm synthesis error.
What interface is used to configure the SI5332BD15716-GM2, and is factory programming available?
The SI5332BD15716-GM2 uses a standard I²C interface (SCLK/SDATA) for runtime configuration. Skyworks' ClockBuilder Pro software generates custom part numbers and factory-programs the device's NVM free of charge. Once programmed, SI5332BD15716-GM2 boots with the stored configuration without host intervention.
