Product details
Overview
SI5338C-B06074-GMR from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-output, I²C-programmable clock generator implementing MultiSynth™ PLL architecture to synthesize independent frequencies up to 710 MHz on four differential outputs with 0 ppm frequency accuracy, 0.7 ps RMS phase jitter (typ), and PCIe Gen 1–4 Common Clock & Gen 3 SRNS compliance. It serves as a single-chip replacement for multiple crystal oscillators in high-speed serial interface timing.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338C-B06074-GMR datasheet, SI5338C-B06074-GMR pinout, SI5338C-B06074-GMR application, or SI5338C-B06074-GMR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4× independent output format configurability (LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL), per-output voltage control (1.5–3.3 V), spread-spectrum capability (0.5–5.0% down-spread), and support for differential input references up to 710 MHz.
Technical Context
The SI5338C-B06074-GMR integrates a two-stage synthesis architecture: a primary PLL with programmable loop bandwidth (1.6 MHz typ) locks to an external reference (crystal, CMOS, or differential), while four independent MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesizers generate each output with sub-ppb resolution. Each output path includes configurable drivers, independent phase offset (<20 ps step), and glitchless frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps).
It supports flexible reference inputs - including 8–30 MHz crystals, 5–200 MHz CMOS, 5–350 MHz SSTL/HSTL, and 5–710 MHz differential - and enables zero-delay mode via external feedback. Loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal alarms provide real-time status monitoring over the I²C/SMBus interface.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-output programmable clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5332A-D06089-GM | Higher integration: 8 outputs, integrated LDOs, lower jitter (0.35 ps RMS), supports JESD204B deterministic latency | Targeted at JESD204B ADC/DAC synchronization and high-channel-count systems where output count and ultra-low jitter are critical | Select when >4 outputs or sub-0.4 ps jitter is required; not drop-in due to different pinout and power architecture |

FAQ
What is the maximum differential input frequency supported by the SI5338C-B06074-GMR?
The SI5338C-B06074-GMR supports differential input frequencies up to 710 MHz on pins IN1/IN2 and IN5/IN6. This allows direct use of high-speed reference sources such as OC-192 or 10GBASE-R clocks without external division. Input slew rate must exceed 0.3 V/ns for optimal jitter performance, and a 100 Ω external termination resistor is required per differential pair.
Does the SI5338C-B06074-GMR support PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock compliance?
Yes, the SI5338C-B06074-GMR meets PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock jitter specifications with ≤0.45 ps RMS (1.5 MHz–50 MHz band) when configured for 100 MHz HCSL outputs and using recommended layout practices. Its PLL loop bandwidth (1.6 MHz typ) and MultiSynth™ architecture are validated per PCI-SIG Base Specification 4.0 rev. 0.5 test conditions.
Can the SI5338C-B06074-GMR generate four different output frequencies simultaneously?
Yes, the SI5338C-B06074-GMR synthesizes four independent output frequencies simultaneously - each configurable from 0.16 MHz to 710 MHz depending on format (e.g., 710 MHz for LVPECL, 200 MHz for CMOS). Frequencies are generated via dedicated MultiSynth™ blocks, enabling true any-frequency synthesis with zero ppm error and sub-ppb resolution.
What output voltage levels can be set independently for each output pair on the SI5338C-B06074-GMR?
Each output pair (CLK0, CLK1, CLK2, CLK3) on the SI5338C-B06074-GMR has its own VDDOx supply pin, allowing independent configuration of output buffer voltage between 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V. This enables direct interfacing with mixed-voltage SoCs, FPGAs, and PHYs without level-shifting components.
How is the SI5338C-B06074-GMR programmed, and is factory programming available?
The SI5338C-B06074-GMR is programmed via its I²C/SMBus interface using Skyworks' ClockBuilder Pro software, which generates custom configuration files and supports in-system reprogramming. Factory programming is available through Aetrix Electronics for pre-configured devices - including OTP NVM image loading - enabling plug-and-play deployment without host firmware involvement.
