Product details
Overview
SI5338N-B04337-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 Common Clock and Gen 3 SRNS compliance, and operation from 1.8/2.5/3.3 V core supply in a 4 × 4 mm 24-QFN package. It replaces up to four crystal oscillators in FPGA, processor, and Ethernet switch timing systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338N-B043337-GMR datasheet, SI5338N-B04337-GMR pinout, SI5338N-B04337-GMR application, or SI5338N-B04337-GMR equivalent, key selection criteria include output format flexibility (LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL), independent per-output voltage (1.5–3.3 V), any-frequency synthesis down to 0.16 MHz, spread-spectrum control, and PCIe jitter compliance at Gen 4.
Technical Context
The SI5338N-B04337-GMR implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability reference PLL (Stage 1) locks to one of six input sources (crystal, CMOS, SSTL/HSTL, or differential), followed by four independent MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesizers (Stage 2) generating outputs with true zero-ppm accuracy. Each output supports programmable phase offset (<20 ps steps), frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps), and spread-spectrum modulation (0.5–5.0% spread, 33–63 kHz rate).
It features loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal alarms, external feedback for zero-delay mode, and I²C/SMBus interface with ClockBuilder Pro configuration support. The device operates across –40 to +85 °C and delivers <100 ps output-to-output skew under matched conditions.
