Product details
Overview
SI5338H-B04835-GM 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. It replaces up to four crystal oscillators in Ethernet switch/router, PCIe, and FPGA clocking applications.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338H-B04835-GM datasheet, SI5338H-B04835-GM pinout, SI5338H-B04835-GM application, or SI5338H-B04835-GM equivalent, key selection criteria include its MultiSynth™-based any-frequency synthesis (0.16–710 MHz), independent output voltage per driver (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), spread-spectrum capability (0.5–5.0% at 33–63 kHz), loss-of-lock/loss-of-signal alarms, and 4×4 mm 24-QFN package.
Technical Context
The SI5338H-B04835-GM implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-performance integer-N PLL (Stage 1) locks to one of six input references (crystal, CMOS, SSTL/HSTL, or differential), followed by four independent MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesizers (Stage 2) generating each output. Each MultiSynth supports programmable initial phase offset (±45 ns), glitchless frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps), and <20 ps phase step resolution.
Output drivers support LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL formats with independent VDDO supplies (1.4–3.63 V), enabling mixed-voltage system clock distribution. The device operates from a single core supply (1.8/2.5/3.3 V) with 45 mA typical core current and includes I²C/SMBus interface, INTR alarm pin, and OTP NVM for factory programming.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5332A-D05889-GM | Higher integration: 8 outputs, integrated jitter cleaner, lower 0.23 ps RMS jitter; larger 5×5 mm 32-QFN package | Targeted at ultra-low-jitter 100G/400G optical modules and AI accelerator boards where jitter budget is <0.3 ps RMS | Select when system requires >4 outputs or sub-0.3 ps RMS jitter; not drop-in due to pin count, package, and register map differences |
| ICS8430I-01T | Fixed-frequency quad LVDS generator (no I²C programming); 1.2 ps RMS jitter; 3.3 V only; 32-pin TQFP | Suitable for cost-sensitive, static-clocking applications like legacy telecom line cards where frequency flexibility is unnecessary | Choose for non-programmable, high-volume deployments with fixed 100/125/156.25 MHz outputs; requires PCB redesign due to TQFP footprint and lack of I²C |
