Product details
Overview
SI5338M-B05735-GM from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-output, I²C-programmable clock generator using MultiSynth™ technology to synthesize independent frequencies up to 710 MHz on four differential outputs with 0 ppm precision. It supports LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL formats, operates from 1.8/2.5/3.3 V core supply, and delivers 0.7 ps RMS typical phase jitter. It serves as a PCIe Gen 1–4 common clock source in high-speed serial interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338M-B05735-GM datasheet, SI5338M-B05735-GM pinout, SI5338M-B05735-GM application, or SI5338M-B05735-GM equivalent, key selection criteria include PCIe Gen 4 SRNS compliance, independent per-output voltage (1.5–3.3 V), 4× differential output capability, spread-spectrum control (0.5–5.0% at 33–63 kHz), and programmable phase/frequency adjustment in <20 ps / 1 ppm steps.
Technical Context
The SI5338M-B05735-GM implements a two-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 for precise frequency generation. Each output driver is fully configurable for format, voltage, and termination.
It supports external feedback for zero-delay mode, loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal alarms, and glitchless frequency increment/decrement via dedicated pins or I²C. The device integrates OTP NVM for factory programming and retains configuration across power cycles without external memory.

FAQ
What is the maximum differential input frequency supported by the SI5338M-B05735-GM?
The SI5338M-B05735-GM supports differential input frequencies up to 710 MHz on pins IN1/IN2 and IN5/IN6. This capability enables direct use of high-speed SerDes reference clocks (e.g., 622.08 MHz OC-12, 709.5 MHz CPRI) without external prescaling. Input slew rate must exceed 0.3 V/ns for optimal jitter performance, and a 100 Ω external termination resistor is required per differential pair.
Does the SI5338M-B05735-GM support PCIe Gen 4 Separate Reference No Spread (SRNS) compliance?
Yes, the SI5338M-B05735-GM meets PCIe Gen 4 SRNS requirements with ≤0.32 ps RMS jitter (typical) when configured with a 2–5 MHz PLL loop bandwidth and CDR = 10 MHz. This is verified per PCI-SIG Base Specification 4.0 rev. 0.5 and measured using the Skyworks PCIe Clock Jitter Tool. The device supports both common-clock and SRNS modes via register configuration.
Can the SI5338M-B05735-GM generate four different output frequencies simultaneously?
Yes, the SI5338M-B05735-GM synthesizes four independent output frequencies simultaneously using its four MultiSynth™ engines. Each output (CLK0–CLK3) can be set to any frequency from 0.16 MHz to 710 MHz (depending on format), with zero ppm accuracy and no shared dividers. Frequencies may be integer- or fractional-related, and phase alignment is independently adjustable per output.
What output voltage levels does the SI5338M-B05735-GM support per channel?
The SI5338M-B05735-GM supports independent output buffer supply voltages (VDDO0–VDDO3) of 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V per channel. This allows direct interfacing with mixed-voltage devices-for example, driving 1.8 V FPGA I/O banks and 3.3 V legacy peripherals from the same SI5338M-B05735-GM device without level shifters.
Is an external crystal required for the SI5338M-B05735-GM to operate?
No, an external crystal is optional. The SI5338M-B05735-GM accepts six reference inputs: differential (5–710 MHz), single-ended CMOS (5–200 MHz), SSTL/HSTL (5–350 MHz), or an 8–30 MHz crystal directly connected to IN1/IN2. Crystal operation requires on-chip load capacitance tuning (11–13 pF supported); external crystals are not mandatory if a clean system clock is available.
