Product details
Overview
SI5334K-B04338-GMR from Skyworks Solutions is a pin-controlled, quad-output any-frequency clock generator with four independently configurable differential clock outputs, 0.7 ps RMS typical phase jitter, 350 MHz maximum integer-output frequency (up to 710 MHz at select frequencies), and support for LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL output formats in telecom, PCIe 2.0/3.0, and FPGA clocking applications.
For engineers reviewing the SI5334K-B04338-GMR datasheet, SI5334K-B04338-GMR pinout, SI5334K-B04338-GMR application, or SI5334K-B04338-GMR equivalent, key selection considerations include its factory-programmed configuration, 4×4 mm 24-QFN package, 1.8/2.5/3.3 V core supply compatibility, spread-spectrum capability on 100 MHz outputs, and loss-of-signal/loss-of-lock alarm functionality.
Technical Context
The SI5334K-B04338-GMR implements a fractional-N PLL with integrated VCO and four independent MultiSynth synthesis stages, each driving one of four differential output channels. Input flexibility includes crystal (8–30 MHz) or differential/single-ended clock inputs (5–710 MHz), with zero ppm frequency error across all outputs via patented MultiSynth technology.
Each output supports independent voltage rail selection (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), format selection, and phase adjustment (<20 ps step resolution over ±45 ns range). The K variant specifically enables PCI Express 2.0-compliant spread spectrum on any or all 100 MHz outputs and supports glitchless 1 ppm frequency increment/decrement on CLK0A/B only.

Pinout & Package
SI5334K-B04338-GMR is housed in a 24-lead QFN package (4 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin assignments follow Skyworks' standard Si5334 pinout: dual differential input pairs (IN1/IN2, IN5/IN6), single-ended inputs (IN3, IN4), four differential output pairs (CLK0A/CLK0B through CLK3A/CLK3B), dedicated control pins (OEB, LOSLOL), and multiple VDD/VDDO rails.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1 / IN2 | Differential reference input | Accepts 5–710 MHz AC-coupled differential clock; internal 100 Ω termination enables direct connection to LVDS/HCSL sources |
| IN3 / IN4 | Single-ended reference input | Supports CMOS/SSTL/HSTL clocks (5–350 MHz); VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VDD for robust logic-level compatibility |
| CLK0A / CLK0B – CLK3A / CLK3B | Differential clock outputs | Four independent outputs; each configurable for LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL with per-output VDDO rail |
| OEB | Output enable bar | Active-low global output disable; synchronous assertion prevents glitches during power sequencing or fault conditions |
| LOSLOL | Loss-of-signal/loss-of-lock indicator | Open-drain output asserts low on input clock failure or PLL unlock; supports system-level fault monitoring without MCU polling |
| VDD, VDDO0–VDDO3 | Power supply terminals | Separate core (VDD) and per-output buffer (VDDOx) supplies allow mixed-voltage operation and noise isolation between domains |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SI5334K-B04338-GMR in a system?
The SI5334K-B04338-GMR serves as a quad-output, any-frequency clock generator that synthesizes four independent, low-jitter differential clock signals from a single reference input. Its core function is to replace multiple discrete oscillators and fanout buffers in systems requiring precise, flexible timing - such as PCIe root complexes, Ethernet switches, and FPGA-based platforms - while maintaining 0 ppm frequency accuracy and sub-1 ps RMS jitter. SI5334K-B04338-GMR achieves this using Skyworks' patented MultiSynth architecture with integrated fractional-N PLL and four synthesis stages.
Does the SI5334K-B04338-GMR support spread spectrum clocking, and under what conditions?
Yes, the SI5334K-B04338-GMR supports PCI Express 2.0-compliant spread spectrum clocking (SSC) on any or all output clocks, but only when the output frequency is exactly 100 MHz and the corresponding Rn divider is set to 1. This capability is specific to the "K" variant (as indicated in the part number suffix) and is implemented entirely in hardware - no I²C or firmware control is required. SI5334K-B04338-GMR delivers ±0.5% frequency deviation at 30–33 kHz modulation rate, reducing EMI peak emissions without affecting system timing margins.
Can the SI5334K-B04338-GMR generate frequencies above 350 MHz, and if so, how?
Yes, the SI5334K-B04338-GMR can generate output frequencies up to 710 MHz, but only at select frequencies determined by the underlying VCO and MultiSynth architecture - specifically, outputs at Fvco/4 and Fvco/6 (e.g., 367–473.33 MHz and 550–710 MHz ranges). These higher frequencies require operation in fractional synthesis mode and are subject to the constraint that no more than two unique frequencies above Fvco/8 may be simultaneously active. SI5334K-B04338-GMR maintains 0 ppm accuracy and low jitter across all supported bands, verified per JEDEC JESD65 cycle-cycle jitter measurements.
How is the SI5334K-B04338-GMR configured - via pins or serial interface?
The SI5334K-B04338-GMR is a pin-controlled device with factory-programmed non-volatile memory (OTP), meaning its configuration - including output frequencies, formats, voltage levels, and spread spectrum settings - is permanently stored during manufacturing and requires no external programming at power-up. Configuration is selected using hardware pins (e.g., REFCLKSE, FDBKSE, SSPB) at boot; there is no I²C, SPI, or other serial interface. SI5334K-B04338-GMR begins generating valid clocks within 2 ms of POR, enabling truly plug-and-play timing without host processor involvement.
What thermal and reliability specifications apply to the SI5334K-B04338-GMR?
The SI5334K-B04338-GMR is rated for operation from –40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature, with thermal resistance θJA = 37 °C/W (still air) and θJC = 25 °C/W. It complies with JEDEC JESD78 latch-up immunity and features HBM ESD tolerance of 2.5 kV. Absolute maximum ratings include VDD = –0.5 to 3.8 V and junction temperature ≤150 °C. SI5334K-B04338-GMR is qualified per industry standards for telecom and industrial applications, with guaranteed performance across voltage and temperature extremes as specified in Tables 1–3 of the official datasheet Rev. 1.3.
