Product details
Overview
SI5338B-B09791-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 across –40 to +85 °C in a 4 × 4 mm 24-QFN package. It replaces up to four crystal oscillators in Ethernet switch/router, FPGA/processor clocking, and broadcast video timing systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338B-B09791-GMR datasheet, SI5338B-B09791-GMR pinout, SI5338B-B09791-GMR application, or SI5338B-B09791-GMR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed PCIe and Ethernet timing compliance, and real-world application context for high-speed serial interface clocking, frequency translation, and multi-voltage level translation.
Technical Context
The SI5338B-B09791-GMR integrates a fractional-N PLL with patented MultiSynth™ synthesis stages per output, enabling independent integer/fractional frequency generation from 0.16 MHz to 710 MHz. Each output driver supports LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL formats with programmable VDDO (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V) and sub-20 ps phase step resolution.
It accepts flexible reference inputs: 8–30 MHz crystal, 5–200 MHz CMOS, 5–350 MHz SSTL/HSTL, or 5–710 MHz differential. Loss-of-signal and loss-of-lock alarms, I²C/SMBus interface, and external feedback mode support zero-delay operation and system-level fault monitoring.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5338A-B09791-GMR | Same pinout and register map; differs only in factory-programmed NVM configuration (A vs B variant) | Identical electrical performance; B-variant includes pre-loaded PCIe Gen 4 timing profile | Select SI5338B-B09791-GMR when PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock compliance is required out-of-box |
| LMK04832ISQE/NOPB | Two PLLs, eight outputs, higher power (120 mA); no integrated crystal drive; requires external VCXO | Targeted at ultra-low-jitter RF and instrumentation; lacks built-in crystal oscillator support | Choose LMK04832 for sub-0.1 ps RMS jitter needs or when dual-loop jitter cleaning is required |
Compared with Si5338A-B09791-GMR, the SI5338B-B09791-GMR delivers identical hardware but ships with PCIe Gen 4-optimized firmware; versus LMK04832, it offers lower power, integrated crystal support, and simpler I²C programming at the cost of fewer outputs and higher integrated jitter floor.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SI5338B-B09791-GMR in a PCIe Gen 4 system?
The SI5338B-B09791-GMR serves as the Common Clock source for PCIe Gen 4 endpoints and root complexes, delivering 100 MHz HCSL clocks with ≤0.45 ps RMS jitter (measured per Intel Clock Jitter Tool v1.6.4). Its factory-programmed B-variant configuration ensures immediate compliance with PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock and Gen 3 SRNS requirements without custom register tuning.
Does the SI5338B-B09791-GMR support crystal oscillator input?
Yes, the SI5338B-B09791-GMR supports 8–30 MHz fundamental-mode crystals directly connected to IN1/IN2 pins. Internal load capacitance is configurable (11–13 pF supported, 17–19 pF recommended), and drive level is limited to 100 µW to ensure crystal reliability across temperature and aging.
How many independent output frequencies can the SI5338B-B09791-GMR generate simultaneously?
The SI5338B-B09791-GMR can generate four independent output frequencies simultaneously - one per output pair (CLK0A/B through CLK3A/B). Two frequencies above 350 MHz (e.g., Fvco/4 and Fvco/6) may be active concurrently, but higher-frequency outputs share the same VCO stage and require integer-related synthesis.
What output voltage levels does the SI5338B-B09791-GMR support per channel?
The SI5338B-B09791-GMR supports independent output supply voltages per channel: VDDO0 through VDDO3 each accept 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V. This enables simultaneous LVDS (1.8 V), HCSL (3.3 V), and CMOS (2.5 V) outputs without external level shifters - critical for mixed-interface FPGA designs.
Is ClockBuilder Pro software required to configure the SI5338B-B09791-GMR?
No, ClockBuilder Pro is optional but strongly recommended. The SI5338B-B09791-GMR is fully programmable via standard I²C/SMBus commands; however, ClockBuilder Pro provides GUI-based configuration, PCIe/Ethernet timing validation, and one-click firmware export - significantly reducing bring-up time versus manual register writes.
