Product details
Overview
SI5338F-B04076-GM from Skyworks Solutions is an I²C-programmable quad clock generator with four independent differential output drivers, 0.7 ps RMS typical phase jitter, PCIe Gen 1–4 Common Clock and Gen 3 SRNS compliance, and support for LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL output formats across 0.16–710 MHz. It replaces up to four crystal oscillators in high-speed serial interface timing applications such as PCIe root complexes and Ethernet switch fabric.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338F-B04076-GM datasheet, SI5338F-B04076-GM pinout, SI5338F-B04076-GM application, or SI5338F-B04076-GM equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including MultiSynth™ synthesis resolution (1 ppb), independent per-output voltage control (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), spread-spectrum modulation (0.5–5.0% down-spread), and loss-of-lock/loss-of-signal alarm functionality - all confirmed for the exact SI5338F-B04076-GM variant.
Technical Context
The SI5338F-B04076-GM implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability reference stage (input range 5–710 MHz) feeding a fractional-N MultiSynth™ VCO stage (Fvco = 4.85–5.65 GHz), enabling independent integer/fractional synthesis on each of four outputs. Each output path includes programmable R-divider, P-divider, and M-divider stages with <20 ps phase step accuracy.
It supports external feedback for zero-delay mode, independent frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps), and configurable spread-spectrum modulation (33–63 kHz rate, 0.5–5.0% deviation). Input flexibility includes crystal (8–30 MHz), CMOS (5–200 MHz), SSTL/HSTL (5–350 MHz), and differential (5–710 MHz) references - all validated for SI5338F-B04076-GM per Rev. 1.6 datasheet.

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-B04083-GM | Same Si5338F die but factory-programmed with different default configuration; identical pinout, specs, and package | No functional difference in hardware; differs only in pre-loaded NVM settings (e.g., default output frequencies, formats) | Select Si5338A-B04083-GM if factory-default configuration matches target design; otherwise use SI5338F-B04076-GM for full field programmability |
| LMK04832ISQE/NOPB | Two PLLs (vs. one PLL + MultiSynth), higher power (125 mA vs. 45 mA), larger 48-QFN package; supports JESD204B deterministic latency | Targeted at JESD204B baseband and radar systems requiring sub-ns skew control and deterministic delay - not optimized for PCIe/ethernet cost-sensitive designs | Choose LMK04832ISQE/NOPB only when JESD204B deterministic latency or dual-loop flexibility is required; SI5338F-B04076-GM offers lower cost, smaller footprint, and PCIe-optimized jitter performance |
Compared with Si5338A-B04083-GM, SI5338F-B04076-GM provides identical silicon-level performance but retains full I²C reprogrammability; versus LMK04832ISQE/NOPB, it delivers PCIe-optimized jitter in half the footprint and 64% lower core current - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-density serial interface timing.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by SI5338F-B04076-GM?
The SI5338F-B04076-GM supports up to 710 MHz on LVPECL/LVDS/CML outputs, 350 MHz on SSTL/HSTL, 250 MHz on HCSL, and 200 MHz on CMOS. Only two unique frequencies above 350 MHz can be generated simultaneously (Fvco/4 and Fvco/6), as confirmed in Table 6 of the Rev. 1.6 datasheet for the SI5338F-B04076-GM variant.
Does SI5338F-B04076-GM support PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock compliance?
Yes, SI5338F-B04076-GM meets PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock RMS jitter requirements (≤0.45 ps, 10 kHz–50 MHz) per Table 12 of the Rev. 1.6 datasheet, measured with 100 MHz HCSL outputs and 2–4 MHz or 2–5 MHz PLL bandwidth. This compliance is validated for the SI5338F-B04076-GM part number.
Can SI5338F-B04076-GM generate four independent output frequencies simultaneously?
Yes, SI5338F-B04076-GM uses patented MultiSynth™ technology to synthesize four fully independent frequencies - each configurable from 0.16 MHz to 710 MHz with 1 ppb resolution and 0 ppm error. This capability is inherent to the Si5338F die and confirmed for SI5338F-B04076-GM in the functional description and electrical specifications.
What input reference options are supported by SI5338F-B04076-GM?
SI5338F-B04076-GM accepts external crystal (8–30 MHz), CMOS (5–200 MHz), SSTL/HSTL (5–350 MHz), and differential (5–710 MHz) inputs. All six input pins (IN1–IN6) are usable, with IN1/IN2 and IN5/IN6 supporting differential modes and IN3/IN4 supporting single-ended - as specified in Table 6 for SI5338F-B04076-GM.
Is ClockBuilder Pro software required to configure SI5338F-B04076-GM?
No, ClockBuilder Pro is optional but strongly recommended for SI5338F-B04076-GM configuration. The device supports direct I²C/SMBus programming using register maps defined in the datasheet; however, ClockBuilder Pro automates MultiSynth™ divider calculations, validates jitter performance, and generates production-ready configuration files - significantly reducing development time for SI5338F-B04076-GM implementations.
