Product details
Overview
SI5338A-B01343-GMR from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-output, I²C-programmable clock generator with MultiSynth™ frequency synthesis, delivering four independent low-jitter clocks (0.7 ps RMS typ), PCIe Gen 1–4 compliance, and support for LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS outputs up to 710 MHz. It replaces multiple crystal oscillators in high-speed networking and FPGA timing applications.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338A-B01343-GMR datasheet, SI5338A-B01343-GMR pinout, SI5338A-B01343-GMR application, or SI5338A-B01343-GMR equivalent, key selection criteria include differential output jitter performance (0.7 ps RMS), PCIe Gen 4 SRNS compliance, independent per-output voltage control (1.5–3.3 V), and 24-QFN package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SI5338A-B01343-GMR implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability reference stage followed by four independent MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesizers, each driving a configurable output buffer. This enables true zero-ppm frequency accuracy across all four outputs without shared dividers or frequency coupling.
It supports flexible input references-including 8–30 MHz crystals, 5–200 MHz CMOS, and 5–710 MHz differential inputs-and provides independent phase adjustment (<20 ps steps), glitchless frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps), and programmable spread spectrum on any output (0.5–5.0% spread, 33–63 kHz modulation).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Phase Jitter (RMS) | 0.7 ps typical over 12 kHz–20 MHz - meets PCIe Gen 4 common clock and SRNS requirements |
| Output Count & Type | 4 differential outputs (CLK0A/B through CLK3A/B) - supports LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, CML, SSTL, HSTL, CMOS |
| Frequency Range | 0.16–710 MHz per output - covers PCIe 100 MHz, Ethernet 125/156.25 MHz, and Fibre Channel 1.0625 GHz (via /2) |
| Supply Voltages | VDD = 1.8/2.5/3.3 V; VDDOx = 1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V - enables mixed-voltage system interfacing without level shifters |
| Package | 24-pin QFN, 4 × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and IPC-7351B land pattern |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial and telecom line card environments |
| I²C Interface | SMBus-compatible, 100/400 kHz - enables in-system configuration and dynamic frequency tuning during operation |
Pinout & Package
SI5338A-B01343-GMR is housed in a 24-lead, 4 × 4 mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad (GND). Pin assignments are fixed per the Si5338 family and validated for this variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1, IN2, IN5, IN6 | Differential Input Pairs | Accept 5–710 MHz AC-coupled differential clocks; require external 100 Ω termination |
| IN3, IN4 | Single-Ended Inputs | Support 5–200 MHz CMOS-level clocks; VIH = 0.7×VDD, VIL = 0.3×VDD |
| CLK0A–CLK3B | Differential Output Pairs | Four independent output drivers; each configurable for format, voltage, and enable |
| VDDO0–VDDO3 | Output Buffer Supplies | Independent 1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V rails per output bank - eliminates level-shifting ICs |
| SCL, SDA, INTR | I²C Control Interface | Standard bidirectional I²C bus with interrupt flag for loss-of-lock/loss-of-signal detection |
| VDD, GND, RSVD_GND | Core Power & Ground | 1.8/2.5/3.3 V core supply; dedicated ground pins reduce noise coupling between analog/digital sections |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MultiSynth™ Synthesis | Four independent fractional-N synthesizers enabling simultaneous, unrelated frequencies (e.g., 100 MHz PCIe + 125 MHz Ethernet + 156.25 MHz SerDes + 200 MHz processor clock) |
| PCIe Gen 4 Compliance | 0.15–0.45 ps RMS jitter in Common Clock mode and SRNS mode - verified per PCI-SIG Base Spec 4.0 rev 0.5 |
| Per-Output Voltage Control | Each of four output banks powered by separate VDDOx rail (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V) - simplifies multi-voltage SoC/FPGA interface design |
| Glitchless Frequency Tuning | Hardware-supported ±1 ppm frequency step via PINC/FDEC pins - enables real-time clock margining without software intervention |
| Programmable Phase Offset | ±45 ns initial phase offset per output with <20 ps resolution - critical for skew-sensitive parallel interfaces (e.g., DDR memory, JESD204B) |
| Spread Spectrum Support | Configurable on any output: 0.5–5.0% down-spread, 33–63 kHz modulation rate - reduces EMI peak emissions in dense PCB layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-output clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5332A-D07189-GM | Higher integration: 8 outputs, integrated crystal, lower jitter (0.35 ps RMS), but larger 32-QFN package and higher cost | Preferred for new designs requiring >4 outputs or crystal-less operation; not drop-in due to pin count and footprint change | Select when needing ≥8 outputs or eliminating external crystal; avoid if constrained to 24-QFN footprint or cost-sensitive. |
| ICS8430I-01T | Fixed-frequency, non-programmable quad LVDS clock buffer; no synthesis capability; jitter = 0.9 ps RMS | Only suitable for static clock fanout-not frequency translation or multi-format generation | Choose only for simple clock distribution where frequencies are fixed and I²C programming is unnecessary. |
Compared with SI5338A-B01343-GMR, Si5332A-D07189-GM offers superior jitter and integration but requires PCB redesign, while ICS8430I-01T lacks programmability and synthesis-making SI5338A-B01343-GMR the optimal balance of flexibility, performance, and 24-QFN compatibility for mid-complexity timing systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by the SI5338A-B01343-GMR?
The SI5338A-B01343-GMR supports up to 710 MHz on LVPECL/LVDS/CML outputs, 250 MHz on HCSL, and 200 MHz on CMOS. Frequencies above 350 MHz are limited to two unique values simultaneously (Fvco/4 and Fvco/6) due to VCO architecture constraints. All outputs maintain 0.7 ps RMS jitter at 100 MHz and meet PCIe Gen 4 specifications.
Does the SI5338A-B01343-GMR support spread spectrum clocking (SSC)?
Yes, the SI5338A-B01343-GMR supports fully programmable spread spectrum on any output: spread range 0.5–5.0%, modulation rate 33–63 kHz, and selectable up/down-center spread. SSC is configured independently per output via I²C registers and does not affect other outputs' stability or jitter performance.
Can the SI5338A-B01343-GMR operate without an external crystal?
Yes - the SI5338A-B01343-GMR accepts multiple reference inputs: external 8–30 MHz crystal (on IN1/IN2), 5–200 MHz CMOS clock (on IN3/IN4), or 5–710 MHz differential clock (on IN1/IN2 or IN5/IN6). Crystal operation requires no additional components beyond load capacitors; no internal oscillator is present.
How is output voltage configured for each clock bank on the SI5338A-B01343-GMR?
Each of the four output banks (CLK0, CLK1, CLK2, CLK3) has its own dedicated VDDOx supply pin (VDDO0–VDDO3), allowing independent selection of 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V per bank. This eliminates external level shifters when driving mixed-voltage devices like 1.8 V FPGAs and 3.3 V legacy peripherals from a single SI5338A-B01343-GMR.
Is the SI5338A-B01343-GMR pin-compatible with other Si5338 variants?
Yes - all Si5338 variants (including SI5338A-B01343-GMR) share identical 24-QFN pinout, package dimensions, and thermal pad layout. Firmware and register maps are also consistent across the family; only factory-programmed NVM content (e.g., default frequency plan) differs between part numbers.
