Product details
Overview
SI5338K-B10419-GM from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-output, I²C-programmable clock generator implementing MultiSynth™ frequency synthesis with 0 ppm precision per output. It delivers four independent differential or single-ended clocks (LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL) across 0.16–710 MHz, supports PCIe Gen 1–4 common-clock and SRNS compliance, and operates from 1.8/2.5/3.3 V core supply in a 4 × 4 mm 24-QFN package for FPGA, processor, and Ethernet switch timing.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338K-B10419-GM datasheet, SI5338K-B10419-GM pinout, SI5338K-B10419-GM application, or SI5338K-B10419-GM equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, jitter performance (0.7 ps RMS typ), pin-level circuit roles, PCIe Gen 4 SRNS validation, and real-world alternative selection guidance - all derived from Skyworks Rev. 1.6 documentation and official ordering data.
Technical Context
The SI5338K-B10419-GM integrates two-stage PLL synthesis: a high-stability reference PLL (loop bandwidth 1.6 MHz) followed by four independent MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesizers, each capable of integer or fractional mode operation. Input flexibility includes crystal (8–30 MHz), CMOS (5–200 MHz), SSTL/HSTL (5–350 MHz), or differential (5–710 MHz) references.
Each of the four output drivers supports independent voltage (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), format (LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL), phase offset (±45 ns, <20 ps step), and spread-spectrum control (0.5–5.0% spread, 33–63 kHz modulation). Loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal alarms are implemented with dedicated INTR pin reporting.

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-D08589-GM | Higher integration: 8 outputs, integrated LDOs, lower jitter (0.35 ps RMS), but larger 5 × 5 mm 32-QFN package | Targeted at dense, multi-domain systems requiring >4 clocks (e.g., AI accelerators, 5G baseband units) | Select when needing ≥8 outputs or tighter jitter; avoid if space-constrained or cost-sensitive for 4-output use cases |
| ICS853S02AGT | Fixed-frequency, non-programmable quad LVDS clock buffer; no synthesis, no I²C, 1.2 ps RMS jitter | Used where only fanout and level translation are required (e.g., legacy backplanes with fixed clock trees) | Select only for static, low-cost fanout; not suitable for frequency translation, PCIe SRNS, or dynamic reconfiguration |
Compared with Si5332A-D08589-GM and ICS853S02AGT, the SI5338K-B10419-GM uniquely balances programmability, PCIe Gen 4 compliance, and compact 4 × 4 mm footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-protocol designs requiring field-upgradable timing without layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by the SI5338K-B10419-GM?
The SI5338K-B10419-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. However, only two unique frequencies above 350 MHz can be generated simultaneously - specifically Fvco/4 and Fvco/6 - as confirmed in Table 6 Note 6 of the Skyworks Rev. 1.6 datasheet. All outputs maintain 0 ppm synthesis accuracy within these ranges.
Does the SI5338K-B10419-GM meet PCIe Gen 4 Separate Reference No Spread (SRNS) specifications?
Yes, the SI5338K-B10419-GM is explicitly validated for PCIe Gen 4 SRNS compliance with 0.11–0.32 ps RMS jitter (Table 12), measured using a PLL bandwidth of 2–5 MHz and CDR = 10 MHz. This meets PCI Express Base Specification 4.0 rev. 0.5 requirements and is confirmed in the "Features" and "Electrical Specifications" sections of the Skyworks Rev. 1.6 datasheet.
How is the SI5338K-B10419-GM programmed, and what tools are required?
The SI5338K-B10419-GM is programmed via its I²C/SMBus-compatible interface (SCL/SDA pins) using Skyworks' ClockBuilder Pro software - a free, GUI-based tool that generates configuration files and supports real-time register editing. The device includes one-time-programmable (OTP) NVM for storing boot-up settings, eliminating external EEPROM dependency for most applications.
What are the thermal design considerations for the SI5338K-B10419-GM in continuous operation?
The SI5338K-B10419-GM has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 37 °C/W and requires connection of all eight GND pins plus the exposed thermal pad to a solid PCB copper plane. At 45 mA core current and 3.3 V supply, power dissipation is ~149 mW; maintaining ambient ≤85 °C requires ≥2 cm² of 2-oz copper under the package per Skyworks AN937 guidelines.
Can the SI5338K-B10419-GM generate different output formats simultaneously (e.g., LVDS + CMOS)?
Yes, the SI5338K-B10419-GM supports mixed-format outputs: any combination of LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, CMOS, SSTL, or HSTL across its four outputs. Each output driver is independently configurable for format, voltage (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), and termination, enabling direct interfacing with heterogeneous logic families without external level shifters.
