Product details
Overview
SI5338M-B05694-GM from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-output, I²C-programmable clock generator implementing MultiSynth™ frequency synthesis with 0 ppm precision per output, 0.7 ps RMS typical phase jitter, PCIe Gen 1–4 Common Clock and Gen 3 SRNS compliance, and support for LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL outputs up to 710 MHz. It replaces multiple crystal oscillators in FPGA, processor, and high-speed serial interface timing systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338M-B05694-GM datasheet, SI5338M-B05694-GM pinout, SI5338M-B05694-GM application, or SI5338M-B05694-GM equivalent, key selection criteria include differential output jitter performance at PCIe Gen 4, independent per-output voltage (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), programmable phase/frequency step resolution (<20 ps / 1 ppm), and 4×4 mm 24-QFN package compatibility with space-constrained board layouts.
Technical Context
The SI5338M-B05694-GM integrates a dual-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability reference stage (input range 5–710 MHz) feeding a fractional-N MultiSynth™ VCO (Fvco = 3.2–4.0 GHz), followed by four independent synthesis paths each with configurable R/M/N dividers and output drivers. Each output supports integer or fractional mode operation, enabling true zero-ppm accuracy across all four clocks.
It features dedicated loss-of-signal (2.6–5 µs detection) and loss-of-lock (5–10 ms) alarms, external feedback capability for zero-delay mode, and independent spread-spectrum control (0.5–5.0% spread, 33–63 kHz modulation) on any output - all managed via I²C/SMBus interface with ClockBuilder Pro configuration software.

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-D05694-GM | Higher integration: includes integrated crystal, lower jitter (0.35 ps RMS), but limited to three outputs and no HCSL support | Preferred for compact designs where crystal integration and ultra-low jitter outweigh need for fourth output or HCSL drive | Select when footprint and jitter are prioritized over output count and HCSL compatibility |
| ICS853S02IAGLF | Fixed-frequency, non-programmable quad LVDS clock fanout buffer; no synthesis, no I²C, higher jitter (1.2 ps RMS) | Suitable only for static clock distribution, not frequency translation or flexible timing architectures | Choose only for cost-sensitive, fixed-frequency applications with no requirement for programmability or low jitter |
Compared with Si5332A-D05694-GM and ICS853S02IAGLF, the SI5338M-B05694-GM uniquely balances full I²C programmability, four independent outputs with HCSL support, and PCIe Gen 4–compliant jitter in a standard 24-QFN package - making it optimal for reconfigurable, multi-standard timing in FPGA and switch platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by SI5338M-B05694-GM in LVPECL format?
The SI5338M-B05694-GM supports LVPECL outputs up to 710 MHz. This is confirmed in Table 6 of the datasheet under "Output Clocks (Differential)" for LVPECL, LVDS, and CML formats. Operation above 350 MHz requires using Fvco/4 or Fvco/6 synthesis paths, with only two unique frequencies >350 MHz allowed simultaneously.
Does SI5338M-B05694-GM support PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock compliance?
Yes, the SI5338M-B05694-GM meets PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock jitter requirements with ≤0.45 ps RMS (12 kHz–20 MHz), as specified in Table 12 of the datasheet. It also satisfies Gen 3 SRNS and Gen 1/2/3 Common Clock specs, verified using the Skyworks PCIe Clock Jitter Tool and Intel Clock Jitter Tool v1.6.4.
Can SI5338M-B05694-GM generate different output voltages on each channel?
Yes, SI5338M-B05694-GM provides independent VDDO0–VDDO3 pins, 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 interfacing with mixed-voltage devices (e.g., 1.8 V FPGA I/O and 3.3 V legacy peripherals) without external level shifters.
What is the phase adjustment resolution and range for SI5338M-B05694-GM outputs?
The SI5338M-B05694-GM offers programmable initial phase offset from –45 ns to +45 ns per output, with <20 ps step resolution. Phase increment/decrement updates occur in ≤667 ns (for outputs >18 MHz) via pin control or I²C, enabling precise skew alignment in parallel data paths.
Is an external crystal required for SI5338M-B05694-GM operation?
No - SI5338M-B05694-GM accepts multiple reference sources: external 8–30 MHz crystal, single-ended CMOS (5–200 MHz), SSTL/HSTL (5–350 MHz), or differential clock (5–710 MHz). Crystal is optional; the device operates fully with any supported external clock input.
