Product details
Overview
SI5332G-D-GM3 from Skyworks is a 12-output, embedded-crystal clock generator delivering any-frequency synthesis up to 333.33 MHz with 175 fs RMS phase jitter, PCIe Gen1–6 compliance, and independent per-output signal format (LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL/LVCMOS) - used in high-speed server clock trees and multi-supply Ethernet switch timing systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI5332G-D-GM3 datasheet, SI5332G-D-GM3 pinout, SI5332G-D-GM3 application, or SI5332G-D-GM3 equivalent, key selection factors include its factory-programmed NVM configuration, 48-pin LGA package with six VDDO banks, embedded 50 MHz crystal, and support for hitless frequency switching across 16 stored profiles.
Technical Context
The SI5332G-D-GM3 implements a wideband PLL paired with two independent MultiSynth™ fractional synthesis paths and five integer dividers, enabling simultaneous generation of non-integer-related frequencies on all 12 differential outputs. Its architecture includes a cross-point mux routing any synthesized or divided source to any output bank.
It operates in free-run mode using its integrated 50 MHz crystal or synchronizes to external differential/LVCMOS clocks (10–250 MHz). Each of four output banks (A–D) has shared VDDO supply pins supporting 1.8/2.5/3.3 V, while two dedicated outputs (OUT0/OUT0b, OUT1/OUT1b) feature individual VDDO control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output count | 12 differential clock outputs (or 24 LVCMOS), organized in four voltage-banked groups (A–D) plus two individually powered outputs. |
| Jitter (RMS) | 175 fs RMS - measured at 12 kHz–20 MHz offset; enables PCIe Gen5/6 reference clock compliance without external cleanup. |
| Frequency range | 5–333.33 MHz differential; supports integer and fractional synthesis with 0 ppm error - eliminates need for multiple fixed-frequency oscillators. |
| Reference source | Embedded 50 MHz crystal - no external XTAL required; reduces BOM count and PCB layout complexity for timing-critical systems. |
| Supply flexibility | VDD core: 1.8/2.5/3.3 V; VDDO banks: 1.8/2.5/3.3 V (differential), 1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V (LVCMOS) - supports mixed-voltage SoC interfaces. |
| Configuration interface | I²C (up to 400 kHz); factory-programmed NVM stores full configuration - powers up ready-to-use without host initialization. |
| Compliance | PCIe Gen1/2/3/4/5/6 and SRIS compliant - meets stringent jitter and spread-spectrum requirements for data center interconnects. |
Pinout & Package
SI5332G-D-GM3 uses a 6×6 mm, 48-pin LGA package (per Skyworks Doc 206453A, Section 7.4) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are defined in the Si5332 Family Reference Manual and validated for the G-grade embedded-crystal variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT0 / OUT0b | Differential clock output pair | Individually powered (VDDO0); configurable as LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL/LVCMOS; routed via cross-point mux from MultiSynth0/1 or INT divider. |
| OUT1 / OUT1b | Differential clock output pair | Individually powered (VDDO1); independent format/voltage control; supports glitchless on-the-fly frequency change. |
| OUT2–OUT11 / OUT2b–OUT11b | Differential clock output pairs | Grouped into Banks A–D (each with shared VDDO2–VDDO5); each bank selectable from same synthesis sources with per-bank voltage and format. |
| VDDO0–VDDO5 | Output driver supply pins | VDDO0/VDDO1 power OUT0/OUT1 individually; VDDO2–VDDO5 each serve one bank (A–D) of two or three output pairs - enables mixed-supply clock distribution. |
| XTAL_IN / XTAL_OUT | Crystal oscillator interface | No connection required - internal 50 MHz crystal used; pins are NC for SI5332G-D-GM3 (embedded crystal variant). |
| SCLK / SDATA | I²C serial interface | Supports configuration read/write at power-up or runtime; compatible with standard I²C controllers; pull-up resistors required externally. |
| IN0–IN6 | Universal hardware input pins | Configurable in ClockBuilder Pro as OE, spread-spectrum enable, input select, or profile select - enables board-level control without firmware. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Embedded 50 MHz crystal | Eliminates external crystal, load caps, and layout-sensitive XTAL routing - improves jitter stability and reduces component count by ≥3 parts. |
| Multi-profile NVM storage | Up to 16 complete clock configurations stored in on-chip NVM - enables single-device support for boot, idle, performance, and low-power modes. |
| Per-output signal format | Each of 12 outputs independently set to LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL, or LVCMOS - interfaces directly to diverse SerDes, PHYs, and FPGAs without level-shifting. |
| Adjustable output skew | Programmable delay per differential pair (±500 ps in 10-ps steps) - enables precise timing alignment across multi-lane interfaces like PCIe or DDR. |
| Synchronous output disable | Glitch-free enable/disable per output bank via hardware pin or register - supports dynamic power gating in multi-rail systems without clock glitches. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5332D-D-GM3 | External crystal input only (no embedded crystal); identical 12-output LGA package and pinout; same MultiSynth architecture and jitter (190 fs RMS). | Requires external 16–50 MHz crystal and load capacitors; less suitable for space-constrained or ultra-low-jitter designs where crystal placement affects performance. | Select when crystal selection flexibility or cost sensitivity outweighs jitter margin and BOM simplification benefits of embedded crystal. |
| Si5341-A-EVB | 10-output, higher-frequency (up to 750 MHz) clock generator with integrated EEPROM; 195 fs RMS jitter; uses external crystal only. | Targets RF and high-speed ADC/DAC applications requiring >333 MHz outputs; lacks embedded crystal and per-output LVCMOS support. | Choose for >333 MHz frequency needs or when evaluation flexibility (field reprogramming) is prioritized over production-ready NVM preprogramming. |
Compared with SI5332D-D-GM3, the SI5332G-D-GM3 delivers 15 fs lower jitter and eliminates crystal layout dependencies; versus Si5341-A-EVB, it trades maximum frequency for embedded-crystal reliability and broader LVCMOS compatibility in infrastructure timing.

FAQ
What is the default configuration behavior of the SI5332G-D-GM3 at power-up?
The SI5332G-D-GM3 powers up with its factory-programmed NVM configuration active - no I²C initialization is required. All 12 outputs begin generating their assigned frequencies immediately after the ~10 ms internal initialization period completes, provided valid VDD and VDDO supplies are present. This behavior makes SI5332G-D-GM3 ideal for systems requiring deterministic timing at boot.
Does the SI5332G-D-GM3 support PCIe Gen6 reference clock requirements?
Yes, the SI5332G-D-GM3 meets PCIe Gen6 reference clock specifications: it delivers ≤175 fs RMS phase jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz), supports spread spectrum (center/down modulation), and provides differential output formats (LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL) compliant with PCIe Gen6 electrical standards. Its embedded crystal eliminates external XTAL-induced jitter contributors that could compromise Gen6 compliance.
Can the SI5332G-D-GM3 generate both LVDS and LVPECL outputs simultaneously?
Yes, the SI5332G-D-GM3 supports concurrent LVDS and LVPECL outputs: each of the 12 differential pairs is independently configurable for signal format and output voltage. For example, Bank A (OUT2/OUT2b–OUT5/OUT5b) can be set to LVDS at 2.5 V while Bank C (OUT6/OUT6b–OUT9/OUT9b) runs LVPECL at 3.3 V - enabling direct interfacing to heterogeneous ASICs on the same board.
How many independent voltage domains does the SI5332G-D-GM3 support for its clock outputs?
The SI5332G-D-GM3 supports six independent output voltage domains: VDDO0 and VDDO1 power OUT0/OUT0b and OUT1/OUT1b individually, while VDDO2–VDDO5 each supply one of four output banks (A–D). This allows mixing 1.8 V LVDS, 2.5 V LVPECL, and 3.3 V HCSL outputs simultaneously - critical for modern multi-voltage SoC timing architectures.
Is external programming hardware required to configure the SI5332G-D-GM3 in-system?
No, external programming hardware is not required for standard operation: SI5332G-D-GM3 ships preprogrammed with its custom ClockBuilder Pro configuration stored in NVM. In-system updates are possible via its standard I²C interface using any microcontroller or host processor - no dedicated field programmer is needed unless performing advanced OTP rewrites or debug-level register access.
