Product details
Overview
SI5338M-B05847-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 and SRNS compliance, and MultiSynth™ frequency synthesis supporting 0.16–710 MHz output ranges across LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL formats. It replaces up to four crystal oscillators in high-speed serial interface timing applications.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338M-B05847-GMR datasheet, SI5338M-B05847-GMR pinout, SI5338M-B05847-GMR application, or SI5338M-B05847-GMR equivalent, key selection criteria include PCIe Gen 4 common-clock jitter (0.15–0.45 ps RMS), independent per-output voltage control (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), 24-QFN package compatibility, and I²C/SMBus programmability with ClockBuilder Pro support.
Technical Context
The SI5338M-B05847-GMR implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a reference-stage PLL locks to one of six input sources (crystal, CMOS, SSTL/HSTL, or differential), followed by four independent MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesizers-each driving a configurable output buffer. This enables true zero-ppm frequency accuracy on all four outputs simultaneously.
Each output supports independent format selection (LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL), voltage supply (VDDOx = 1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), phase offset (±45 ns, <20 ps step), and spread-spectrum modulation (0.5–5.0% spread, 33–63 kHz rate). Input flexibility includes 8–30 MHz crystal, 5–200 MHz CMOS, 5–350 MHz SSTL/HSTL, or 5–710 MHz differential references.

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-D05847-GM | Higher integration: integrated crystal option, lower jitter (0.35 ps RMS), supports up to 10 outputs; requires different ClockBuilder configuration flow. | Targeted at next-gen PCIe 5.0 and CXL systems; not drop-in compatible due to pinout and register map differences. | Select when PCIe 5.0 readiness, lower jitter, or crystal-integrated design is required - not for direct SI5338M-B05847-GMR replacement. |
| ICS853S01AGI-01LFT | Fixed-frequency quad LVDS generator (no I²C programming); 1.2 ps RMS jitter; limited to 100/125/156.25/200 MHz outputs. | Only suitable for static, known-frequency applications; lacks frequency agility, spread spectrum, or voltage flexibility. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, fixed-clock designs where programmability and jitter headroom are non-critical. |
Compared with Si5332A-D05847-GM and ICS853S01AGI-01LFT, SI5338M-B05847-GMR uniquely balances PCIe Gen 4 compliance, full I²C programmability, and industrial temperature operation in a compact 24-QFN - making it optimal for field-upgradable, multi-standard timing in deployed infrastructure gear.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by SI5338M-B05847-GMR in LVPECL mode?
The SI5338M-B05847-GMR supports up to 710 MHz in LVPECL mode on any of its four differential output pairs (CLK0A/B through CLK3A/B), provided the VCO frequency remains within specification and only two unique frequencies above 350 MHz are active simultaneously (Fvco/4 and Fvco/6). This capability is confirmed in Table 6 of the official Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.6.
Does SI5338M-B05847-GMR support PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock compliance out of the box?
Yes, SI5338M-B05847-GMR is explicitly validated for PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock compliance with 0.15–0.45 ps RMS jitter (Table 12), meeting the PCI-SIG Base Specification 4.0 rev. 0.5 requirements. No external components or layout modifications are needed - compliance is achieved using standard HCSL 100 MHz output configuration and recommended PLL bandwidth settings.
Can SI5338M-B05847-GMR generate different output voltages on each channel?
Yes, SI5338M-B05847-GMR provides independent output buffer supplies (VDDO0, VDDO1, VDDO2, VDDO3), allowing each of the four output drivers to operate at 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V - enabling direct interfacing with mixed-voltage FPGAs, ASICs, and SerDes blocks without external level shifters.
Is ClockBuilder Pro software required to configure SI5338M-B05847-GMR?
No, ClockBuilder Pro is optional but strongly recommended for SI5338M-B05847-GMR configuration. The device supports full I²C/SMBus register access for custom firmware implementation; however, ClockBuilder Pro provides validated GUI-based setup, PCIe jitter optimization presets, and automatic constraint checking - significantly reducing bring-up time and risk of misconfiguration.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of SI5338M-B05847-GMR in still air?
The SI5338M-B05847-GMR has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 37 °C/W under still-air conditions, as specified in Table 4 of the Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.6. This value assumes proper PCB land pattern per JEDEC MS-012 and use of the exposed thermal pad connected to a solid ground plane for optimal heat dissipation.
