Product details
Overview
SI5334C-B05946-GM from Skyworks Solutions is a pin-controlled, any-frequency quad clock generator with four independently configurable differential outputs, supporting frequencies up to 350 MHz (and select outputs to 710 MHz), 0.7 ps RMS typical phase jitter, and zero ppm frequency error via MultiSynth synthesis. It operates from 1.8/2.5/3.3 V core supply and targets PCIe 2.0/3.0, Ethernet switch/router, and FPGA clocking applications.
For engineers reviewing the SI5334C-B05946-GM datasheet, SI5334C-B05946-GM pinout, SI5334C-B05946-GM application, or SI5334C-B05946-GM equivalent, key selection criteria include independent output format support (LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL), per-output voltage control (1.5–3.3 V), glitchless 1 ppm frequency increment/decrement on CLK0A/B, and loss-of-lock/loss-of-signal alarm capability.
Technical Context
The SI5334C-B05946-GM integrates a fractional-N PLL with on-chip VCO and four independent MultiSynth dividers, enabling integer or fractional frequency synthesis per output with <20 ps phase step resolution and ±45 ns programmable initial phase offset. Input flexibility includes 8–30 MHz crystal or 5–710 MHz differential/single-ended reference clocks.
Its output stage supports mixed-signal operation: each of the four differential outputs (CLK0A/B through CLK3A/B) has dedicated VDDOx supply (1.4–3.63 V), enabling simultaneous LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, CMOS, SSTL, or HSTL signaling at different voltages and frequencies - all without I²C configuration.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5332A-D05946-GM | Higher integration: 8 outputs, integrated EEPROM, I²C programmability; 0.5 ps RMS jitter; supports JESD204B deterministic latency | Required for multi-device synchronization, JESD204B subclass 1, or field-reprogrammable configurations | Select when design requires >4 outputs, dynamic reconfiguration, or deterministic phase alignment across boards |
| ICS8430I-01T | Fixed-frequency quad LVDS generator; no frequency synthesis; 1.2 ps RMS jitter; 3.3 V only; no spread spectrum or phase control | Limited to static clock trees where all frequencies are known pre-production | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-jitter applications with fixed 100/125/156.25 MHz outputs and no tuning needs |
Compared with Si5332A-D05946-GM, SI5334C-B05946-GM offers simpler pin-control operation and lower power but lacks I²C configurability and JESD204B support; versus ICS8430I-01T, it delivers full any-frequency synthesis and per-output flexibility at higher complexity and cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by SI5334C-B05946-GM?
SI5334C-B05946-GM supports up to 350 MHz on all output formats (LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, CMOS, SSTL, HSTL) and select frequencies up to 710 MHz for LVPECL and LVDS outputs. The actual achievable frequency depends on the selected output format and VDDO supply voltage, with 710 MHz limited to LVPECL/LVDS at 3.3 V VDDO and proper load termination.
Does SI5334C-B05946-GM require I²C programming to operate?
No, SI5334C-B05946-GM does not require I²C programming. It is factory-programmed with a predefined configuration stored in one-time-programmable (OTP) memory and begins operation immediately upon power-up using pin-strapped settings. All frequency, format, and voltage configurations are set at manufacture and controlled via hardware pins.
Can SI5334C-B05946-GM generate spread spectrum clocking for EMI reduction?
Yes, SI5334C-B05946-GM supports PCIe 2.0–compliant spread spectrum on any output clock operating at exactly 100 MHz with its Rn divider set to 1. The modulation is ±0.5% deviation at 30–33 kHz, and it can be enabled independently per output without affecting other channels.
What input reference options are supported by SI5334C-B05946-GM?
SI5334C-B05946-GM accepts an 8–30 MHz fundamental-mode crystal directly, or external clock inputs including: differential (5–710 MHz), CMOS (5–200 MHz), SSTL/HSTL (5–350 MHz), and single-ended (5–200 MHz). Input slew rates must exceed 0.3 V/ns (differential) or 1.0 V/ns (single-ended) for optimal jitter performance.
How is phase alignment managed across the four outputs of SI5334C-B05946-GM?
SI5334C-B05946-GM provides independent programmable initial phase offset (±45 ns range) and real-time phase increment/decrement (20 ps steps) on each output. These adjustments are pin-controlled and do not require I²C communication, enabling deterministic inter-output skew control for timing-critical applications like SerDes lane deskew.
