Product details
Overview
SI5338M-B10099-GMR from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-output, I²C-programmable clock generator implementing MultiSynth™ frequency synthesis with 0 ppm precision per output. It delivers four independent differential or single-ended clocks (LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL) across 0.16–710 MHz, supports PCIe Gen 1–4 common clock and SRNS compliance, and operates from 1.8/2.5/3.3 V core supply in a 4 × 4 mm 24-QFN package for FPGA, processor, and Ethernet switch timing.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338M-B10099-GMR datasheet, SI5338M-B10099-GMR pinout, SI5338M-B10099-GMR application, or SI5338M-B10099-GMR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.7 ps RMS typical phase jitter, independent per-output voltage (1.5–3.3 V), glitchless 1 ppm frequency increment/decrement, <20 ps phase step resolution, and PCIe Gen 4-compliant jitter performance at 100 MHz HCSL.
Technical Context
The SI5338M-B10099-GMR integrates a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability reference stage (with crystal or external clock input up to 710 MHz) followed by four independent MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesizers. Each synthesizer drives a configurable output stage supporting mixed signal formats and voltages.
It features loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal detection, programmable initial phase offset (±45 ns), spread-spectrum control (0.5–5.0% spread, 33–63 kHz modulation), and external feedback mode for zero-delay operation - all managed via I²C/SMBus interface with ClockBuilder Pro configuration software.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-output programmable clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5332A-D07189-GM | Higher integration: 8 outputs, integrated LDOs, lower jitter (0.35 ps RMS), but larger 5×5 mm 32-QFN package | Better suited for multi-ASIC timing in AI accelerators or high-port switches requiring >4 clocks | Select when needing >4 outputs or ultra-low jitter; avoid if board space or cost sensitivity favors 24-QFN footprint |
| ICS8430I-01T | Fixed-frequency, non-programmable quad LVDS clock fanout buffer; no synthesis, no I²C, 1.2 ps RMS jitter | Limited to pre-defined frequencies; no spread spectrum or phase adjustment capability | Choose only for simple clock distribution where frequency flexibility and advanced features are unnecessary |
Compared with SI5338M-B10099-GMR, the Si5332A offers higher output count and lower jitter at the cost of size and complexity, while the ICS8430I-01T provides simpler, lower-cost buffering without programmability - making SI5338M-B10099-GMR optimal for designs requiring field-configurable, low-jitter, multi-format clock synthesis in compact form factor.
