Product details
Overview
SI5338M-B05075-GM 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 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 SI5338M-B05075-GM datasheet, SI5338M-B05075-GM pinout, SI5338M-B05075-GM application, or SI5338M-B05075-GM equivalent, key selection criteria include its MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesis architecture, independent output voltage per driver (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), spread-spectrum capability (0.5–5.0% down-spread), and support for differential input frequencies up to 710 MHz.
Technical Context
The SI5338M-B05075-GM implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability integer-N Phase-Locked Loop (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 step resolution) and glitchless frequency increment/decrement in 1 ppm steps.
It features on-chip OTP NVM for factory programming, I²C/SMBus-compatible configuration interface, loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal alarms, and external feedback mode enabling zero-delay operation. The device operates from a single 1.8/2.5/3.3 V core supply with 45 mA typical core current and supports flexible output formats including LVPECL (0.16–710 MHz), LVDS (0.16–350 MHz), HCSL (0.16–250 MHz), CMOS (0.16–200 MHz), and SSTL/HSTL (0.16–350 MHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Phase Jitter (RMS) | 0.7 ps - meets PCIe Gen 4 common clock RMS jitter requirement (≤0.45 ps RMS) under optimized conditions and enables low-bit-error-rate serial link timing. |
| Output Count & Flexibility | 4 independent outputs - supports up to four differential clocks, eight single-ended clocks, or mixed configurations without external logic. |
| Input Frequency Range | 5–710 MHz differential - accepts PCIe reference, SerDes recovered clocks, or high-frequency crystals directly into IN1/IN2/IN5/IN6 pins. |
| Output Voltage Per Driver | 1.5 / 1.8 / 2.5 / 3.3 V - allows direct interfacing with mixed-voltage SoCs, FPGAs, and PHYs without level-shifting components. |
| Spread Spectrum | 0.5–5.0% down-spread, 33–63 kHz modulation - reduces EMI peak emissions in dense PCB layouts while maintaining timing margin. |
| Temperature Range | –40 to +85 °C - qualified for industrial and telecom line card environments with no derating required. |
| Core Supply Current | 45 mA typ at 100 MHz on all outputs - enables low-power system-level clock distribution in thermally constrained designs. |
Pinout & Package
SI5338M-B05075-GM is housed in a 4 × 4 mm, 24-lead QFN package with exposed thermal pad. Pin assignments are fixed per the Si5338 family and validated for this variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1, IN2, IN5, IN6 | Differential clock inputs | Accept AC-coupled LVPECL/LVDS/CML references up to 710 MHz; require external 100 Ω termination. |
| IN3, IN4 | Single-ended clock inputs | Support CMOS/SSTL/HSTL signals from 5–350 MHz; internally biased; no external pull-up needed. |
| CLK0A–CLK3B | Differential output pairs | Four fully independent output drivers; each pair configurable as LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CML with dedicated VDDOx supply. |
| VDDO0–VDDO3 | Output buffer supplies | Independent 1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V supplies per output bank - enables mixed-signal voltage domain interfacing. |
| SCL, SDA, INTR | I²C control interface | Standard SMBus-compatible 3.3 V-tolerant bus; INTR asserts open-drain interrupt on LOS/LOL events. |
| VDD | Core supply | Single 1.8/2.5/3.3 V supply powering PLL, synthesizers, and control logic; PSRR >60 dB. |
| GND, RSVD_GND | Ground terminals | Multiple GND pins and reserved ground pad minimize ground bounce and improve jitter performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesis | Enables true zero-ppm frequency accuracy on all four outputs simultaneously, eliminating need for multiple crystals or trimming. |
| Independent output phase adjustment | ±45 ns range with <20 ps step resolution - supports precise skew alignment across multi-lane interfaces like PCIe x16 or DDR memory channels. |
| Glitchless frequency increment/decrement | 1 ppm step size with hardware pin control (PINC/FDEC) - enables dynamic frequency scaling without clock interruption in adaptive systems. |
| PCIe Gen 1–4 and SRNS compliance | Validated against PCIe Base Spec 4.0 for common clock and Gen 3 separate reference modes - reduces qualification effort for server and storage platforms. |
| External feedback mode | Allows zero-delay clock forwarding by routing CLKOUT back to INx - essential for low-latency clock distribution in repeater or fanout applications. |

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-D05089-GM | Higher integration: includes integrated crystal, lower jitter (0.35 ps RMS), but fixed 4-output LVDS-only; no HCSL or CMOS support. | Targeted at space-constrained, ultra-low-jitter PCIe Gen 5 applications; lacks flexible output format mixing. | Select when board area and jitter are critical, and all loads accept LVDS; avoid if HCSL or mixed-voltage outputs are required. |
| ICS853S02AGT | Non-programmable, fixed-frequency 4-output LVDS clock fanout buffer; no synthesis, no I²C, no spread spectrum. | Used only as a passive clock distributor after primary synthesis; requires upstream clock source. | Select only for simple fanout where frequency and format are static and pre-defined; not a functional replacement for SI5338M-B05075-GM's synthesis capability. |
Compared with Si5332A-D05089-GM and ICS853S02AGT, SI5338M-B05075-GM uniquely combines full I²C programmability, multi-format output flexibility, and PCIe Gen 4 compliance in a single 4×4 mm QFN-making it the only option for field-upgradable, multi-standard timing in heterogeneous compute platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum differential input frequency supported by the SI5338M-B05075-GM?
The SI5338M-B05075-GM supports differential input frequencies up to 710 MHz on pins IN1/IN2 and IN5/IN6. This enables direct connection to high-speed SerDes recovered clocks or OC-192/STM-64 references without prescaling. Operation above 350 MHz is limited to two unique frequencies simultaneously (Fvco/4 and Fvco/6), as specified in the Synthesis Stages section of the datasheet.
Does the SI5338M-B05075-GM support PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock compliance?
Yes, the SI5338M-B05075-GM is explicitly validated for PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock compliance with ≤0.45 ps RMS jitter (10 kHz–50 MHz) when configured per Skyworks AN562 guidelines. Its MultiSynth™ architecture and low-noise PLL design meet the PCI-SIG Base Specification 4.0 jitter mask for 100 MHz HCSL outputs.
Can the SI5338M-B05075-GM generate different output voltages on each channel?
Yes, the SI5338M-B05075-GM provides independent VDDO0–VDDO3 supplies, allowing each of its four output banks to be powered at 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V. This enables direct interface with mixed-voltage devices-for example, 1.8 V FPGA I/O banks and 3.3 V legacy PHYs-without external level shifters.
How is the SI5338M-B05075-GM programmed, and is factory programming available?
The SI5338M-B05075-GM is programmed via its I²C/SMBus interface using Skyworks' ClockBuilder Pro software. Factory programming is supported through OTP NVM; the "B05075" suffix indicates a pre-configured variant with specific frequency and format settings stored in on-chip memory, reducing boot-time initialization overhead.
What is the thermal performance of the SI5338M-B05075-GM in continuous operation?
The SI5338M-B05075-GM has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 37 °C/W in still air. At 45 mA core current and 3.3 V supply, power dissipation remains below 150 mW, keeping junction temperature within safe limits (<100 °C) even at +85 °C ambient-provided the exposed thermal pad is soldered to a minimum 100 mm² copper pour.
