Product details
Overview
SI5338M-B05695-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-B05695-GMR datasheet, SI5338M-B05695-GMR pinout, SI5338M-B05695-GMR application, or SI5338M-B05695-GMR equivalent, key selection factors include its MultiSynth™-based any-frequency synthesis (0.16–710 MHz per output), independent output voltage control (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), spread-spectrum capability (0.5–5.0% down-spread), and 24-pin 4×4 mm QFN package with I²C/SMBus interface.
Technical Context
The SI5338M-B05695-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 with true zero-ppm accuracy. Each output supports programmable format (LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL), voltage (1.5–3.3 V), phase offset (±45 ns in <20 ps steps), and frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps).
It features loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal alarms, external feedback mode for zero-delay operation, and independent spread-spectrum modulation (33–63 kHz rate, 0.5–5.0% spread) on any output. The device operates from a single 1.8/2.5/3.3 V core supply with 45 mA typical current draw and integrates OTP NVM for factory or field programming via I²C.

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-D05689-GM | Higher integration: includes integrated crystal, lower jitter (0.35 ps RMS), but fixed 4-output LVDS-only; no HCSL/CMOS support | Best for space-constrained, ultra-low-jitter LVDS-only systems; not suitable for mixed-format or crystal-less designs | Select when board space is critical and all loads accept LVDS; avoid if HCSL, CMOS, or external crystal flexibility is required. |
| ICS853S02IAGLF | Non-programmable, fixed-frequency quad LVDS buffer; no synthesis, no I²C, higher jitter (1.2 ps RMS) | Only usable where exact pre-defined frequencies are needed; no frequency agility or spread-spectrum capability | Choose only for cost-sensitive, static-clock applications with no requirement for reconfiguration or jitter optimization. |
Compared with Si5332A-D05689-GM and ICS853S02IAGLF, the SI5338M-B05695-GMR uniquely balances full I²C programmability, multi-format output flexibility, PCIe Gen 4 compliance, and external crystal support - making it the only option among the three that supports dynamic frequency changes, mixed-voltage interfaces, and custom spread-spectrum profiles in production systems.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SI5338M-B05695-GMR in a system?
The SI5338M-B05695-GMR serves as a fully programmable quad clock generator that synthesizes up to four independent, low-jitter output clocks from a single input reference. Its core function is to replace multiple discrete oscillators in complex systems like PCIe-based servers or Ethernet switches, delivering precise, configurable timing with 0.7 ps RMS jitter and PCIe Gen 4 compliance. The SI5338M-B05695-GMR enables design flexibility through I²C programming and supports mixed-signal environments via independent output voltage rails.
Does the SI5338M-B05695-GMR support PCIe Gen 4 timing requirements?
Yes, the SI5338M-B05695-GMR meets PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock specifications with ≤0.45 ps RMS jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz) when configured per Skyworks' recommended settings - including 100 MHz HCSL outputs, proper layout, and low-noise power delivery. It also satisfies PCIe Gen 3 SRNS (≤0.32 ps RMS) and earlier generations. Validation is documented in Skyworks Application Note AN562 and supported by the free Skyworks PCIe Clock Jitter Tool.
Can the SI5338M-B05695-GMR generate different output formats simultaneously?
Yes, the SI5338M-B05695-GMR supports simultaneous mixed-format outputs: for example, CLK0A/B as LVDS (156.25 MHz), CLK1A/B as HCSL (100 MHz), CLK2 as CMOS (27 MHz), and CLK3 as SSTL (100 MHz). Each output driver is independently configurable for format, voltage (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), termination, and slew rate - enabling direct interface to diverse loads such as FPGAs, ASICs, and memory controllers without level-shifting components.
What input references does the SI5338M-B05695-GMR accept?
The SI5338M-B05695-GMR accepts six input reference types: (1) 8–30 MHz fundamental-mode crystals on IN1/IN2, (2) single-ended CMOS clocks (5–200 MHz) on IN3/IN4, (3) SSTL or HSTL inputs (5–350 MHz) on IN3/IN4, and (4) differential inputs (5–710 MHz) on IN1/IN2 or IN5/IN6. All inputs support automatic loss-of-signal detection with configurable release time (0.01–1 µs), and the device can operate in PLL-bypass (buffer) mode for additive jitter as low as 0.165 ps RMS.
How is the SI5338M-B05695-GMR programmed and configured?
The SI5338M-B05695-GMR is programmed via its I²C/SMBus-compatible interface (SCL/SDA pins) using Skyworks' ClockBuilder Pro software, which generates register maps and configuration files. Configuration can be stored in on-chip OTP NVM for power-on initialization, or loaded dynamically at runtime. Pin-controlled functions (e.g., frequency increment/decrement, output enable) allow hardware-triggered adjustments without host intervention. The SI5338M-B05695-GMR also supports interrupt-driven status reporting via the INTR pin.
