Product details
Overview
SI5338M-B05735-GMR from Skyworks Solutions is an I²C-programmable quad clock generator with four independently configurable differential outputs, 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-B05735-GMR datasheet, SI5338M-B05735-GMR pinout, SI5338M-B05735-GMR application, or SI5338M-B05735-GMR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesis architecture, independent per-output voltage (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), ±20 ps phase step resolution, and 24-QFN package with 4×4 mm footprint.
Technical Context
The SI5338M-B05735-GMR implements a two-stage synthesis architecture: a high-stability PLL (1.6 MHz loop bandwidth) locks to one of six input sources (crystal, CMOS, SSTL/HSTL, or differential), followed by four independent MultiSynth™ fractional-N dividers enabling any-frequency generation on each output. Each output driver supports format- and voltage-selectable termination with programmable slew rate control.
It features loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal detection, independent frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps), and phase adjustment (<20 ps steps) via I²C or hardware pins. External feedback mode enables zero-delay operation, while spread spectrum modulation (0.5–5.0% spread, 33–63 kHz rate) is configurable per output.

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-D05735-GM | Higher integration: includes integrated crystal, smaller 3×3 mm QFN, but limited to 3 outputs and no HCSL support | Targeted at space-constrained client platforms; lacks PCIe Gen 4 SRNS compliance and dual-differential input capability | Select when board area is critical and only three clocks are needed; not suitable for PCIe Gen 4 or legacy HCSL-based designs |
| ICS853S01AGI-01LFT | Fixed-function 4-output LVDS clock fanout buffer; no frequency synthesis, no I²C programmability, 1.2 ps RMS jitter | Only supports fanout from single input; cannot translate frequencies or generate arbitrary outputs | Choose only for simple clock distribution where input frequency matches all required outputs and synthesis is unnecessary |
