Product details
Overview
SI5338N-B05007-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 across –40 to +85 °C. It replaces up to four crystal oscillators in high-speed serial interface timing applications.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338N-B05007-GMR datasheet, SI5338N-B05007-GMR pinout, SI5338N-B05007-GMR application, or SI5338N-B05007-GMR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MultiSynth™-based any-frequency synthesis (0.16–710 MHz per output), independent output voltage control (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), spread-spectrum capability (0.5–5.0% down-spread), and 24-QFN package compatibility with PCIe, Ethernet, and FPGA clocking systems.
Technical Context
The SI5338N-B05007-GMR implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability reference stage (with crystal or external clock input) 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.
It supports flexible input references - including 8–30 MHz crystals, 5–200 MHz CMOS, 5–350 MHz SSTL/HSTL, and 5–710 MHz differential inputs - and delivers programmable phase offset (<20 ps steps), glitchless frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps), and loss-of-lock/loss-of-signal alarms for system-level timing integrity monitoring.

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-D05089-GM | Higher integration: includes integrated LDOs, enhanced jitter performance (0.35 ps RMS), and support for JESD204B deterministic latency | Targeted at JESD204B ADC/DAC synchronization and 5G wireless infrastructure where sub-0.5 ps jitter and deterministic delay are mandatory | Choose Si5332A-D05089-GM when ultra-low jitter and deterministic latency outweigh cost and footprint constraints |
| ICS853S02IAGLF | Fixed-frequency, non-programmable quad LVDS buffer; no synthesis capability; 1.2 ps RMS jitter; 32-pin TQFP package | Suitable only for fixed-ratio fanout or translation from a master clock - cannot synthesize arbitrary frequencies | Choose ICS853S02IAGLF only when design uses static clock trees and requires lowest possible unit cost with no frequency flexibility |
Compared with Si5332A-D05089-GM and ICS853S02IAGLF, the SI5338N-B05007-GMR uniquely balances field-programmability, PCIe Gen 4 compliance, and industrial temperature support in a compact 4×4 mm QFN - making it optimal for reconfigurable, multi-standard timing in space-constrained networking and embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by SI5338N-B05007-GMR?
The SI5338N-B05007-GMR supports up to 710 MHz on LVPECL/LVDS/CML outputs, 350 MHz on SSTL/HSTL, 250 MHz on HCSL, and 200 MHz on CMOS outputs. Frequencies above 350 MHz are limited to two unique values simultaneously (Fvco/4 and Fvco/6) due to VCO architecture constraints, as specified in the Si5338 datasheet Section 3.3.
Does SI5338N-B05007-GMR support PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock compliance?
Yes, the SI5338N-B05007-GMR meets PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock jitter requirements with ≤0.45 ps RMS (10 kHz–50 MHz) when configured per Skyworks AN562 guidelines. Its measured 0.15–0.45 ps RMS jitter under Gen 4 test conditions confirms compliance without external jitter cleaning circuitry.
Can SI5338N-B05007-GMR generate different output voltages on each channel?
Yes, SI5338N-B05007-GMR provides independent VDDO0–VDDO3 supply pins, allowing each of its four output banks to be powered at 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V. This enables direct interfacing with mixed-voltage devices (e.g., 1.8 V FPGA I/O and 3.3 V legacy PHYs) without external level translators.
How is SI5338N-B05007-GMR programmed in-system?
The SI5338N-B05007-GMR is programmed via its I²C/SMBus-compatible interface (SCL/SDA pins) operating at up to 400 kHz. Configuration is typically performed using Skyworks' ClockBuilder Pro software, which generates register maps and supports real-time frequency/phase adjustments without device reset.
What crystal frequency ranges does SI5338N-B05007-GMR support?
The SI5338N-B05007-GMR supports external crystals from 8 MHz to 30 MHz in four bands: 8–11 MHz, 11–19 MHz, 19–26 MHz, and 26–30 MHz. Each band has defined load capacitance (11–13 pF supported, 17–19 pF recommended) and ESR limits (≤300 Ω max), per Tables 8–11 of the Si5338 datasheet Rev. 1.6.
