Product details
Overview
SI5338M-B05701-GMR from Skyworks Solutions is an I²C-programmable quad clock generator with four independent differential output drivers, 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 output formats across 0.16–710 MHz. 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-B05701-GMR datasheet, SI5338M-B05701-GMR pinout, SI5338M-B05701-GMR application, or SI5338M-B05701-GMR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed PCIe Gen 4 jitter performance, and two field-tested alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The SI5338M-B05701-GMR implements a dual-stage synthesis architecture: a PLL-based Stage 1 (with 1.6 MHz loop bandwidth) locks to one of six input references (crystal, CMOS, SSTL/HSTL, or differential), followed by four independent MultiSynth™ fractional-N dividers in Stage 2. Each output driver supports programmable voltage (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), format, and phase offset (<20 ps step resolution).
It features loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal alarms, independent frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps), spread-spectrum control (0.5–5.0% spread, 33–63 kHz modulation), and external feedback mode for zero-delay operation. All outputs achieve true zero-ppm frequency accuracy via patented MultiSynth™ technology without requiring external VCXO or DAC.

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-D05701-GM | Lower jitter (0.35 ps RMS), integrated crystal option, smaller 3.2 mm × 3.2 mm package; requires different ClockBuilder configuration flow | Better suited for ultra-low-jitter 5G wireless baseband; lacks spread-spectrum flexibility and external feedback mode | Select when PCIe Gen 5 readiness or footprint reduction is prioritized over SSC control and zero-delay operation |
| ICS8430I-01T | Fixed-frequency (100/125/156.25 MHz) quad LVDS generator; no I²C programmability; 1.2 ps RMS jitter | Designed for cost-sensitive, high-volume Ethernet switches where frequency flexibility is unnecessary | Choose only for static clock trees with no need for runtime reconfiguration or multi-standard support |
Compared with SI5338M-B05701-GMR, Si5332A-D05701-GM offers superior jitter but sacrifices spread-spectrum tuning and external feedback capability, while ICS8430I-01T provides lower cost and power at the expense of programmability and PCIe Gen 4 compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by SI5338M-B05701-GMR?
The SI5338M-B05701-GMR supports up to 710 MHz on LVPECL/LVDS/CML outputs, 350 MHz on SSTL/HSTL, 250 MHz on HCSL, and 200 MHz on CMOS. Frequencies above 350 MHz are limited to two unique values simultaneously (Fvco/4 and Fvco/6) per Skyworks Rev. 1.6 datasheet Section 3.3.
Does SI5338M-B05701-GMR support PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock compliance?
Yes, SI5338M-B05701-GMR is explicitly validated for PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock compliance with 0.15–0.45 ps RMS jitter (10 kHz–50 MHz) per PCIe Base Specification 4.0 rev. 0.5, measured using the Intel Clock Jitter Tool and documented in Skyworks Table 12.
Can SI5338M-B05701-GMR generate four different output frequencies simultaneously?
Yes, SI5338M-B05701-GMR uses four independent MultiSynth™ engines to synthesize four distinct frequencies simultaneously-from 0.16 MHz to 710 MHz-with zero ppm error and independent format/voltage/phase control per output.
What input reference options does SI5338M-B05701-GMR accept?
SI5338M-B05701-GMR accepts six input types: 8–30 MHz crystal, 5–200 MHz CMOS, 5–350 MHz SSTL/HSTL, and 5–710 MHz differential (LVDS/LVPECL/CML). Input selection is configured via I²C registers and does not require hardware changes.
Is ClockBuilder Pro software required to configure SI5338M-B05701-GMR?
No-ClockBuilder Pro is optional but strongly recommended. SI5338M-B05701-GMR can be configured via raw I²C commands; however, ClockBuilder Pro automates register mapping, validates jitter performance, generates .c files for embedded initialization, and enables GUI-based SSC and phase offset tuning.
