Product details
Overview
SI5338L-B05675-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 systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338L-B05675-GM datasheet, SI5338L-B05675-GM pinout, SI5338L-B05675-GM application, or SI5338L-B05675-GM equivalent, key selection considerations include its MultiSynth™-based any-frequency synthesis (0.16–710 MHz per output), independent output voltage per driver (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), spread-spectrum capability (0.5–5.0% down-spread), and 24-pin 4×4 mm QFN package with I²C/SMBus interface.
Technical Context
The SI5338L-B05675-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 synthesis blocks (Stage 2) generating precise output frequencies. Each output supports programmable format (LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL), voltage (1.5–3.3 V), phase offset (±45 ns), and spread-spectrum modulation (33–63 kHz rate, 0.5–5.0% deviation).
It features loss-of-signal and loss-of-lock alarms, glitchless frequency increment/decrement in 1 ppm steps via dedicated pins or I²C, and external feedback mode for zero-delay operation. Core supply operates at 1.8/2.5/3.3 V with 45 mA typical current draw; output buffers are powered separately (VDDOx) to support mixed-voltage system timing.
