Product details
Overview
SI5338M-B05693-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 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 Ethernet switch/router and FPGA clocking systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338M-B05693-GMR datasheet, SI5338M-B05693-GMR pinout, SI5338M-B05693-GMR application, or SI5338M-B05693-GMR equivalent, key selection considerations include its MultiSynth™-based any-frequency synthesis (0.16–710 MHz per output), independent output voltage per driver (1.5–3.3 V), spread-spectrum capability (0.5–5.0% down-spread), loss-of-lock/loss-of-signal alarms, and I²C/SMBus programmability.
Technical Context
The SI5338M-B05693-GMR implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability input stage with programmable R-divider followed by a fractional-N MultiSynth™ synthesis stage per output path. Each of the four output drivers supports independent format selection (LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL) and voltage rail (VDDO0–VDDO3).
It features independent phase adjustment (<20 ps step resolution), frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps), and configurable spread-spectrum modulation (33–63 kHz rate, 0.5–5.0% deviation) on any output. External feedback mode enables zero-delay operation, while dedicated INTR pin reports loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal events.

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-D05693-GM | Higher integration: 8 outputs, lower jitter (0.35 ps RMS), supports JESD204B deterministic latency | Targeted at high-speed data converters and radar systems requiring sub-100 fs jitter and deterministic delay | Select when >4 outputs or JESD204B deterministic latency is required; not drop-in compatible due to different pinout and register map |
| ICS8430I-01T | Fixed-frequency quad LVDS generator (no I²C programming); 1.2 ps RMS jitter; 3.3 V only | Cost-sensitive applications with static clock trees (e.g., legacy telecom line cards) | Select only for fixed-frequency, non-programmable use cases; lacks spread spectrum, phase adjustment, and multi-voltage outputs |
Compared with Si5332A-D05693-GM and ICS8430I-01T, SI5338M-B05693-GMR uniquely balances field-programmability, PCIe Gen 4 compliance, and mixed-voltage output flexibility in a compact 4×4 mm footprint-making it optimal for mid-complexity FPGA, switch, and broadcast platforms where reconfiguration and BOM consolidation are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by SI5338M-B05693-GMR in LVPECL mode?
The SI5338M-B05693-GMR supports LVPECL output frequencies up to 710 MHz, as specified in Table 6 of the Skyworks Rev. 1.6 datasheet. This capability applies when using differential outputs with appropriate termination and layout practices to maintain signal integrity and sub-ps jitter performance. The device achieves this using its MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesis engine with Fvco/4 and Fvco/6 output paths enabled for frequencies above 350 MHz.
Does SI5338M-B05693-GMR support PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock compliance?
Yes, SI5338M-B05693-GMR meets PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock total jitter specification of ≤33.6 ps pk-pk and RMS jitter of ≤0.45 ps (10 kHz–50 MHz) per Table 12 in the Skyworks Rev. 1.6 datasheet. It achieves this with a PLL loop bandwidth of 2–5 MHz and is validated using the Skyworks PCIe Clock Jitter Tool and Intel Clock Jitter Tool v1.6.4 under HCSL 100 MHz output conditions.
Can SI5338M-B05693-GMR generate four different output voltages simultaneously?
Yes, SI5338M-B05693-GMR supports independent output voltage rails via VDDO0, VDDO1, VDDO2, and VDDO3 pins, enabling simultaneous 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V outputs. Each output driver bank is powered separately, allowing direct interfacing with mixed-voltage components such as 1.2 V FPGAs, 1.8 V SerDes, 2.5 V PHYs, and 3.3 V microcontrollers without level shifters.
How is spread-spectrum clocking configured on SI5338M-B05693-GMR?
Spread-spectrum clocking on SI5338M-B05693-GMR is configured per-output via I²C registers controlling modulation rate (33–63 kHz), spread percentage (0.5–5.0%), and direction (down-spread only). Default settings are ~31.5 kHz rate and 0.5% down-spread. Configuration requires ClockBuilder Pro software or direct register writes; hardware pin control is not supported for SSC parameters.
What reference clock sources are compatible with SI5338M-B05693-GMR?
SI5338M-B05693-GMR accepts multiple reference types: external crystals (8–30 MHz), CMOS single-ended inputs (5–200 MHz), SSTL/HSTL inputs (5–350 MHz), and differential inputs (5–710 MHz). Crystal support includes on-chip load capacitance tuning (11–13 pF) and drive-level limiting (≤100 µW), verified per Tables 8–11 in the Skyworks Rev. 1.6 datasheet.
