Product details
Overview
SI5332DC08862-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 range, and user-configurable LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL/LVCMOS signal formats per output - deployed in Ethernet switches and server clock trees.
For engineers reviewing the SI5332DC08862-GM3R datasheet, SI5332DC08862-GM3R pinout, SI5332DC08862-GM3R application, or SI5332DC08862-GM3R equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (48-pin QFN), validated 12-differential-output architecture, confirmed I²C programmability, and real-world PCIe Gen4/SRIS-compliant timing performance - all grounded in Silicon Labs' official Si5332 Family Reference Manual and ordering guide.
Technical Context
The SI5332DC08862-GM3R implements a two-stage synthesis architecture: a wideband PLL locks to an external 16–50 MHz crystal (XA/XB pins), then feeds up to three independent MultiSynth fractional dividers and five integer dividers. Its cross-point mux routes any synthesized frequency 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 clock distribution. Output skew is adjustable in 35 ps steps (±122.5 ps), and synchronous disable prevents runt pulses - critical for hitless system reset in telecom infrastructure.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Count | 12 differential clock outputs - supports full clock tree replacement in multi-protocol systems like 10G/25G Ethernet switches. |
| Phase Jitter (RMS) | 190 fs - measured over 12 kHz–20 MHz offset; meets PCIe Gen4 SRIS requirements for high-speed SerDes. |
| Output Frequency Range | 5–333.33 MHz (differential); enables generation of CPU, memory, PHY, and PCIe reference clocks from one device. |
| Synthesis Architecture | MultiSynth™ fractional + integer dividers - achieves 0 ppm frequency error for non-integer ratios (e.g., 156.25 MHz × 1.001). |
| Input Reference | External 16–50 MHz crystal - XA/XB pins support internal CL tuning (2–30 pF) for optimal jitter with low-cost crystals. |
| Supply Voltages | VDD = 1.8/2.5/3.3 V; VDDOx = 1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V - allows independent voltage scaling per output bank for mixed-supply SoCs. |
| Interface | I²C (SCLK/SDATA) - supports in-system reconfiguration without reflashing; factory NVM holds default configuration. |
| Temp Range | –40 to +85 °C - qualified for industrial and networking equipment operating in uncontrolled ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
SI5332DC08862-GM3R uses a 6×6 mm, 48-pin QFN package (GM3 suffix), RoHS-6 compliant, with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions align with Si5332-GM3 48-QFN block diagram and pin description tables (Rev. 1.1, pp. 36–40). All 12 differential outputs are paired (OUT0/OUT0b through OUT11/OUT11b), each assigned to Bank A–D with shared VDDOx pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT0 / OUT0b | Differential clock output pair | Bank A output; configurable as LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL; driven by MultiSynth0 or INT divider via cross-point mux. |
| VDDO0 | Output bank supply | Provides 1.8/2.5/3.3 V to OUT0/OUT0b; decoupling required per Silicon Labs layout guidelines. |
| XA / XB | Crystal oscillator interface | Accepts 16–50 MHz fundamental-mode crystal; internal load capacitance selectable (2–30 pF) for jitter optimization. |
| SCLK / SDATA | I²C serial interface | Supports standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) programming; pull-up resistors required externally. |
| OEb | Output enable control | Active-low hardware pin; disables all outputs synchronously - used for power sequencing in server BMC control. |
| CLKIN_2 / CLKIN_2# | Differential input clock | Accepts 10–250 MHz LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL; enables synchronous mode when crystal is not used. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Any-frequency synthesis up to 250 MHz | Enables exact generation of non-integer ratios (e.g., 122.88 MHz for CPRI) without external VCXOs or PLLs. |
| Configurable output signal format per pin | LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL/LVCMOS selection per output - eliminates need for level-shifting buffers in mixed-interface systems. |
| Embedded multi-profile support (16 configs) | Stores multiple clock plans in NVM; enables dynamic switching between base station and fronthaul modes in small cells. |
| Adjustable differential output skew (±122.5 ps) | Compensates for PCB trace length mismatches across 12 outputs - critical for deterministic latency in packet processing ASICs. |
| Spread spectrum (down/center, 0.1–2.5%) | Reduces EMI peak amplitude by spreading energy across 30–33 kHz modulation bandwidth - certified for Class B emissions compliance. |
| Independent VDDO per output bank | Allows simultaneous 1.8 V (PHY) and 3.3 V (legacy controller) clocking from single IC - simplifies power domain partitioning. |
Applications
| Server Clock Distribution | Ethernet Switch Timing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5332DC08863-GM3R | Same 48-QFN package and 12-output architecture, but pre-programmed for embedded 50 MHz crystal (Si5332E-grade) instead of external crystal. | Eliminates external crystal placement and layout; reduces board area by ~3 mm² but increases cost and limits input flexibility. | Select when crystal sourcing, layout space, or startup time consistency outweighs need for input frequency agility. |
| LMK04832RHAT | Two-stage jitter cleaner + generator; higher integration (integrated LDOs, SPI interface), but only 14 outputs with fixed 1.8 V VDDO and no per-output format selection. | Requires external regulators and level shifters for mixed-voltage designs; better suited for ultra-low-jitter cleaning than flexible synthesis. | Select when sub-100 fs jitter cleaning is primary requirement and system already includes clean reference; avoid for any-frequency synthesis needs. |
Compared with SI5332DC08862-GM3R, the Si5332DC08863-GM3R trades external crystal flexibility for reduced BOM and layout complexity, while the LMK04832RHAT offers superior jitter cleaning at the expense of synthesis flexibility and voltage/format configurability - making SI5332DC08862-GM3R optimal for cost-sensitive, multi-protocol clock tree consolidation.

FAQ
What is the crystal frequency range supported by SI5332DC08862-GM3R?
The SI5332DC08862-GM3R supports external fundamental-mode crystals from 16 MHz to 50 MHz on its XA/XB pins. Internal load capacitance is programmable from 2 pF to 30 pF via register settings, allowing optimization for low-cost crystals without external capacitors. This range enables stable free-run operation across industrial temperature extremes while maintaining <190 fs RMS jitter.
Does SI5332DC08862-GM3R support PCIe Gen4 SRIS compliance?
Yes, SI5332DC08862-GM3R meets PCIe Gen4 SRIS (Spread Spectrum Independent Spread) requirements with 190 fs RMS phase jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) using an external crystal. Its MultiSynth™ architecture ensures 0 ppm frequency error for integer and non-integer ratios, and its configurable output skew compensates for inter-lane timing mismatches - both essential for reliable 16 GT/s link training.
Can SI5332DC08862-GM3R generate both LVDS and LVPECL outputs simultaneously?
Yes, SI5332DC08862-GM3R supports concurrent LVDS and LVPECL outputs: each of its 12 differential outputs is independently configurable as LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL, or LVCMOS via ClockBuilder Pro or I²C. For example, OUT0/OUT0b can be set to LVDS for a CPU clock while OUT6/OUT6b runs as LVPECL for a SerDes PHY - eliminating external level translators in mixed-interface systems.
How many independent frequency synthesis paths does SI5332DC08862-GM3R provide?
SI5332DC08862-GM3R provides up to three independent fractional synthesis paths (MultiSynth0–2) and five independent integer dividers (INT0–4). These paths feed a cross-point mux that routes any synthesized frequency to any output, enabling fully independent clock generation - e.g., 100 MHz for DDR, 156.25 MHz for Ethernet, and 245.76 MHz for CPRI - all from a single 25 MHz crystal reference.
Is SI5332DC08862-GM3R programmable after soldering to the PCB?
Yes, SI5332DC08862-GM3R supports full in-circuit programming via its I²C interface (SCLK/SDATA pins). While factory-programmed with a ClockBuilder Pro configuration, users can reconfigure output frequencies, formats, and skew settings post-soldering - including dynamic multi-profile switching - without requiring UV erasure or rework. The NVM retains the default configuration for power-up reliability.
