Product details
Overview
SI5338M-B04751-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 Ethernet switch/router, PCIe, and FPGA clocking systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338M-B04751-GMR datasheet, SI5338M-B04751-GMR pinout, SI5338M-B04751-GMR application, or SI5338M-B04751-GMR equivalent, key selection factors 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), and support for LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL formats.
Technical Context
The SI5338M-B04751-GMR 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 each output. Each output supports programmable phase offset (<20 ps steps), frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps), and spread-spectrum control (0.5–5.0% spread, 33–63 kHz modulation).
Its functional block includes on-chip OTP NVM for configuration storage, I²C/SMBus interface with interrupt (INTR) signaling, loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal alarms, 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 (VDDO0–VDDO3) to enable mixed-voltage system interfacing.

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-D06181-GM | Higher integration: integrated crystal, lower jitter (0.35 ps RMS), supports up to 10 outputs; requires different programming flow | Targeted at ultra-low-jitter 5G infrastructure and optical transport where crystal-free design reduces BOM count | Select when crystal integration, tighter jitter, or >4 outputs are required; not drop-in compatible due to pinout and register map differences |
| ICS853S01AGI-01LFT | Fixed-frequency, non-programmable quad LVDS clock fanout buffer; 0.9 ps RMS jitter; no I²C interface or frequency synthesis | Used in cost-sensitive, static-clocking applications like legacy storage controllers or display interfaces | Select only for simple fanout where frequency flexibility and programmability are unnecessary; requires external oscillator |
