Product details
Overview
SI5332DC08535-GM3R 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 frequency range, and user-configurable LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL/LVCMOS signal formats per output. It serves as a single-device clock tree solution in high-speed Ethernet switches.
For engineers reviewing the SI5332DC08535-GM3R datasheet, SI5332DC08535-GM3R pinout, SI5332DC08535-GM3R application, or SI5332DC08535-GM3R equivalent, key selection considerations include its 48-pin QFN package, embedded configuration for PCIe Gen4-compliant timing, 12-differential-output capability with independent VDDO banks, and I²C programmability for field tuning.
Technical Context
The SI5332DC08535-GM3R 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 clock to any of 12 differential outputs.
Each output bank (A–D) shares a dedicated VDDO supply (1.8/2.5/3.3 V), enabling mixed-voltage system clocking. Output skew is adjustable in 35 ps steps (±122.5 ps), and synchronous output disable prevents runt pulses during enable/disable transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Count | 12 differential clock outputs (supports up to 24 LVCMOS via dual-pin mode) |
| Jitter (RMS) | 190 fs - meets PCIe Gen4 SRIS and Ethernet 10G/25G jitter budgets |
| Frequency Range | 5–333.33 MHz differential - covers Ethernet, CPRI, SATA, USB, and DDR reference clocks |
| Synthesis Accuracy | 0 ppm error - eliminates need for trimming or calibration in production |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5338AC08535-GM | 8-output, 40-pin QFN; lower max output count and no embedded crystal option | Suitable for cost-sensitive 8-output designs where 12 outputs are unused | Select when board space or output count permits reduction; retains same MultiSynth engine and jitter performance |

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed configuration of SI5332DC08535-GM3R?
The SI5332DC08535-GM3R is pre-programmed using ClockBuilder Pro with a unique NVM configuration (NVM code 08535) defining its output frequencies, formats, voltage levels, and startup behavior. This eliminates boot-time I²C programming and ensures immediate, deterministic clock output at power-up.
Does SI5332DC08535-GM3R support PCIe Gen4 SRIS compliance?
Yes, SI5332DC08535-GM3R achieves 190 fs RMS phase jitter (measured with external crystal) and meets the PCIe Gen4 SRIS (Spread Spectrum Independent Subsystem) specification for root complex and endpoint timing, as validated in Silicon Labs Application Note AN937.
Can SI5332DC08535-GM3R generate both integer and fractional output frequencies?
Yes, SI5332DC08535-GM3R supports both integer and fractional synthesis modes on all 12 outputs. Its MultiSynth™ engine enables exact non-integer frequencies (e.g., 122.88 MHz, 245.76 MHz) with zero ppm error-critical for JESD204B, CPRI, and audio clocking.
How many independent power domains does SI5332DC08535-GM3R support for its outputs?
SI5332DC08535-GM3R supports six independent VDDO supply pins (VDDO0–VDDO5), powering four output banks (A–D) and two individually configurable outputs. This allows simultaneous 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V differential signaling on different outputs for mixed-voltage SoC interfacing.
Is SI5332DC08535-GM3R pin-compatible with other Si5332 variants like GM1 or GM2?
No, SI5332DC08535-GM3R uses the 48-pin QFN package and is not pin-compatible with the 32-pin (GM1) or 40-pin (GM2) variants. Pin count, VDDO allocation, and output bank structure differ significantly-PCB layout must be specific to the GM3 footprint.
