Product details
Overview
SI5338L-B06100-GMR from Skyworks Solutions is an I²C-programmable quad clock generator IC 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 from 1.8/2.5/3.3 V core supply in a 4 × 4 mm 24-QFN package. It replaces up to four crystal oscillators in high-speed serial interface timing applications.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338L-B06100-GMR datasheet, SI5338L-B06100-GMR pinout, SI5338L-B06100-GMR application, or SI5338L-B06100-GMR equivalent, key selection criteria include PCIe Gen 4 jitter compliance (0.15–0.45 ps RMS), independent output voltage per driver (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), MultiSynth™ fractional synthesis resolution (1 ppb), spread-spectrum control (0.5–5.0% deviation), and loss-of-lock/loss-of-signal alarm support.
Technical Context
The SI5338L-B06100-GMR implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability integer-N PLL for reference conditioning followed by four independent MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesizers-one per output channel-enabling true any-frequency generation with zero ppm accuracy. Each synthesizer supports programmable phase offset (<20 ps step), frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps), and spread-spectrum modulation (33–63 kHz rate).
Input flexibility includes external crystal (8–30 MHz), CMOS (5–200 MHz), SSTL/HSTL (5–350 MHz), or differential (5–710 MHz) references. Output drivers support LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL formats across 0.16–710 MHz, with independent VDDO per bank (1.4–3.63 V) and internal 22 Ω series termination on differential outputs.

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-D06100-GM | Higher integration: 8 outputs, integrated EEPROM, lower jitter (0.35 ps RMS), supports JESD204B deterministic latency | Targeted at JESD204B ADC/DAC timing and multi-ASIC synchronization where deterministic delay matters | Choose Si5332A-D06100-GM when >4 outputs, deterministic latency, or factory pre-programming are required |
| ICS8430I-01T | Fixed-frequency, non-programmable; 4 LVDS outputs; 0.9 ps RMS jitter; no I²C interface or spread spectrum | Limited to static clock trees where frequency agility and runtime tuning are unnecessary | Choose ICS8430I-01T only for cost-sensitive, fixed-frequency applications with no requirement for reconfiguration or SSC |
Compared with Si5332A-D06100-GM and ICS8430I-01T, the SI5338L-B06100-GMR uniquely balances field-programmability, PCIe Gen 4 compliance, and per-output voltage flexibility in a compact QFN-making it optimal for industrial and telecom systems requiring post-silicon clock tuning without added complexity or cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by SI5338L-B06100-GMR?
The SI5338L-B06100-GMR supports up to 710 MHz on LVPECL/LVDS/CML outputs, 250 MHz on HCSL, and 350 MHz on SSTL/HSTL. However, only two unique frequencies above 350 MHz can be simultaneously generated (Fvco/4 and Fvco/6), as specified in the functional description section of the Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.6. All outputs maintain ≤0.7 ps RMS jitter at these rates when using differential signaling and proper layout.
Does SI5338L-B06100-GMR support PCIe Gen 4 Separate Reference No Spread (SRNS) mode?
Yes, the SI5338L-B06100-GMR is compliant with PCIe Gen 4 SRNS requirements, achieving 0.11–0.32 ps RMS jitter under specified test conditions (PLL bandwidth 2–4 MHz, CDR = 10 MHz). This is verified in Table 12 of the Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.6 and confirmed using the Skyworks PCIe Clock Jitter Tool. The device supports both common clock and SRNS topologies via register configuration.
Can SI5338L-B06100-GMR generate different output voltages on each channel?
Yes, SI5338L-B06100-GMR provides independent VDDO0–VDDO3 pins, allowing each of its four output banks to operate at 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V. This enables direct interfacing with mixed-voltage devices-for example, LVDS outputs at 2.5 V, HCSL at 1.8 V, and CMOS at 3.3 V-all from a single SI5338L-B06100-GMR device without level shifters.
How is SI5338L-B06100-GMR programmed, and is external non-volatile memory required?
The SI5338L-B06100-GMR is programmed via its I²C/SMBus interface using Skyworks' ClockBuilder Pro software. It contains on-chip one-time-programmable (OTP) NVM that stores configuration; no external EEPROM is required. Factory programming or field updates are supported, and the device boots with preloaded settings within 2 ms after power-on reset.
What input reference sources does SI5338L-B06100-GMR accept?
The SI5338L-B06100-GMR accepts four types of input references: (1) 8–30 MHz fundamental-mode crystals on dedicated XTAL pins, (2) 5–200 MHz CMOS clocks on IN3/IN4, (3) 5–350 MHz SSTL/HSTL signals on IN3/IN4, and (4) 5–710 MHz differential inputs on IN1/IN2 or IN5/IN6. Input slew rate requirements (≥1.0 V/ns for CMOS, ≥0.3 V/ns for differential) must be met for optimal jitter performance.
