Product details
Overview
SI5338A-B10382-GMR from Skyworks Solutions is an I²C-programmable quad clock generator with four independently configurable differential or single-ended outputs, 0.7 ps RMS typical phase jitter, PCIe Gen 1–4 Common Clock and Gen 3 SRNS compliance, and operation from 1.8/2.5/3.3 V core supply in a 4 × 4 mm 24-QFN package. It replaces up to four crystal oscillators in Ethernet switch timing, FPGA clocking, and PCIe Gen 4 reference distribution.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338A-B10382-GMR datasheet, SI5338A-B10382-GMR pinout, SI5338A-B10382-GMR application, or SI5338A-B10382-GMR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MultiSynth™-based any-frequency synthesis (0.16–710 MHz per output), independent output voltage per driver (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), spread-spectrum control (0.5–5.0% down-spread), and I²C/SMBus programmability with ClockBuilder Pro support.
Technical Context
The SI5338A-B10382-GMR implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability input stage with programmable R-divider followed by a fractional-N MultiSynth™ synthesis stage per output, enabling independent frequency generation with <1 ppb resolution. Its output stage supports mixed signal formats-LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, CMOS, SSTL, HSTL-each with dedicated VDDO supply and configurable slew rate.
It features loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal alarms, independent phase adjustment (<20 ps steps), glitchless frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps), and external feedback mode for zero-delay operation. Input flexibility includes 8–30 MHz crystal, 5–200 MHz CMOS, 5–350 MHz SSTL/HSTL, or 5–710 MHz differential references.
