Product details
Overview
SI5338L-B05947-GMR 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 high-speed serial interface timing applications such as PCIe root complexes and FPGA clock trees.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338L-B05947-GMR datasheet, SI5338L-B05947-GMR pinout, SI5338L-B05947-GMR application, or SI5338L-B05947-GMR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MultiSynth™-based any-frequency synthesis (0.16–710 MHz per output), independent output voltage support (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), spread-spectrum capability (0.5–5.0% down-spread), and 24-QFN package compatibility with space-constrained board layouts.
Technical Context
The SI5338L-B05947-GMR implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability reference PLL (Stage 1) locks to one of six input sources (crystal, CMOS, SSTL/HSTL, or differential), followed by four independent MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesizers (Stage 2) generating each output. Each synthesizer supports integer or fractional mode, enabling true zero-ppm frequency accuracy and <20 ps programmable phase step resolution.
Its output stage provides per-driver configurability for LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL formats, with independent VDDO supplies and on-chip termination. The device supports glitchless frequency increment/decrement via dedicated pins or I²C, and includes loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal alarms for system-level fault monitoring.

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-D05947-GM | Higher integration: 8 outputs, integrated LDOs, lower jitter (0.35 ps RMS), supports JESD204B deterministic latency | Targeted at JESD204B-compliant data converters and high-end FPGA designs requiring deterministic delay control | Choose when needing >4 outputs, tighter jitter, or deterministic latency; requires different PCB layout and power design |
| ICS8430I-01T | Fixed-frequency, non-programmable quad LVDS clock generator; 0.9 ps RMS jitter; no I²C interface or spread spectrum | Used in cost-sensitive, stable-frequency applications where reconfiguration is unnecessary (e.g., legacy telecom line cards) | Choose only if frequency plan is static and I²C programming is not required; lacks flexibility and PCIe SRNS compliance |
Compared with SI5338L-B05947-GMR, the Si5332A offers superior jitter and deterministic features but increases complexity and cost, while the ICS8430I-01T sacrifices programmability and compliance for simplicity and lower unit price-making SI5338L-B05947-GMR the optimal balance of flexibility, performance, and industrial qualification.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SI5338L-B05947-GMR in a PCIe Gen 4 system?
The SI5338L-B05947-GMR serves as a quad-output clock generator that delivers compliant 100 MHz reference clocks to PCIe Gen 4 root complexes and endpoints. Its 0.15–0.45 ps RMS jitter meets PCIe Gen 4 common clock specifications, and its spread-spectrum capability helps reduce electromagnetic interference without violating jitter limits. SI5338L-B05947-GMR enables consolidation of multiple oscillators into a single, programmable device.
Does the SI5338L-B05947-GMR support both differential and single-ended output formats simultaneously?
Yes, the SI5338L-B05947-GMR supports mixed-mode outputs: it can drive up to four differential pairs (e.g., LVDS) and up to eight single-ended signals (e.g., CMOS) simultaneously-or any combination thereof-using its four independent output drivers. Each driver is individually configurable for format, voltage, and termination, allowing SI5338L-B05947-GMR to interface directly with diverse logic families on the same board.
How is the SI5338L-B05947-GMR programmed, and what tools are required?
The SI5338L-B05947-GMR is programmed via its I²C/SMBus-compatible interface using Skyworks' ClockBuilder Pro software, which generates custom configuration files based on user-defined frequency plans and output settings. The device also supports hardware pin control for real-time phase/frequency adjustments. SI5338L-B05947-GMR does not require external programming hardware-standard I²C host controllers suffice for initialization and runtime updates.
What is the maximum output frequency supported by the SI5338L-B05947-GMR, and are there limitations?
The SI5338L-B05947-GMR supports output frequencies up to 710 MHz for LVPECL/LVDS/CML, 350 MHz for SSTL/HSTL, 250 MHz for HCSL, and 200 MHz for CMOS. However, only two unique frequencies above 350 MHz can be generated simultaneously-specifically Fvco/4 and Fvco/6-due to VCO architecture constraints. This limitation is explicitly defined in the datasheet and applies to SI5338L-B05947-GMR regardless of output format selection.
Is the SI5338L-B05947-GMR qualified for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the SI5338L-B05947-GMR is fully specified and tested for operation across –40 to +85 °C ambient temperature, meeting industrial-grade reliability standards. All electrical parameters-including jitter, supply current, and phase noise-are guaranteed over this full range, and the device uses a thermally enhanced 24-QFN package with exposed pad to maintain junction temperature within safe limits under continuous load.
