Product details
Overview
SI5338L-B05814-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 FPGA clock trees.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338L-B05814-GM datasheet, SI5338L-B05814-GM pinout, SI5338L-B05814-GM application, or SI5338L-B05814-GM equivalent, key selection criteria include its MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesis architecture, per-output voltage control (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), independent phase/frequency adjustment (±45 ns / 1 ppm steps), and 24-pin 4×4 mm QFN package with integrated loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal monitoring.
Technical Context
The SI5338L-B05814-GM implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability reference stage (input range 5–710 MHz) feeding a programmable VCO, followed by four independent MultiSynth™ fractional-N dividers per output. Each output path includes configurable output drivers, selectable termination, and per-channel supply voltage control (VDDO0–VDDO3).
It supports both free-running synthesis and external feedback (zero-delay mode), with real-time frequency increment/decrement via dedicated pins or I²C, and <20 ps step phase adjustment. The device operates across –40 to +85 °C with core supply options of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V and delivers 45 mA typical core current at 100 MHz on all outputs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-output clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5332A-D05814-GM | Higher integration: 8 outputs, dual-loop architecture, lower jitter (0.35 ps RMS), supports JESD204B deterministic latency. | Targeted at JESD204B ADC/DAC synchronization and 5G wireless infrastructure requiring sub-100 fs jitter. | Select when >4 outputs, tighter jitter, or deterministic delay control are required; higher cost and larger 32-QFN package. |
| ICS843002AGI-01LFT | Fixed-frequency quad LVDS generator (no I²C programming); 1.2 ps RMS jitter; 3.3 V only; no spread spectrum or phase adjustment. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, static-clock applications like legacy storage controllers where frequency flexibility is unnecessary. | Select only for fixed-frequency, non-reprogrammable use cases; lacks Si5338L-B05814-GM's any-frequency synthesis and hardware tuning features. |
