Product details
Overview
SI5338P-B04725-GM from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-output, I²C-programmable clock generator with MultiSynth™ frequency synthesis, delivering 0 ppm precision on all four outputs, <0.7 ps RMS phase jitter (typ), 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.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338P-B04725-GM datasheet, SI5338P-B04725-GM pinout, SI5338P-B04725-GM application, or SI5338P-B04725-GM equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4× differential output capability, independent per-output voltage control (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), 24-pin 4×4 mm QFN package, I²C/SMBus programmability, and PCIe Gen 4 jitter compliance at 0.15–0.45 ps RMS.
Technical Context
The SI5338P-B04725-GM implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability reference stage followed by four independent MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesizers, each driving one output pair. Its input flexibility supports crystal (8–30 MHz), CMOS (5–200 MHz), SSTL/HSTL (5–350 MHz), and differential (5–710 MHz) references.
Each output driver is independently configurable for format, voltage, spread-spectrum modulation (0.5–5.0% spread, 33–63 kHz rate), phase offset (±45 ns, <20 ps step), and frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps, glitchless). The device operates from a single 1.8/2.5/3.3 V core supply with 45 mA typical current draw and –40 to +85 °C industrial temperature range.

Pinout & Package
SI5338P-B04725-GM uses a 24-pin, 4 mm × 4 mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad (pin 24 = GND). Pin functions are defined per Skyworks Rev. 1.6 datasheet, with dedicated differential inputs (IN1/IN2, IN5/IN6), single-ended inputs (IN3, IN4), four differential output pairs (CLK0A/B through CLK3A/B), I²C interface (SCL/SDA), interrupt (INTR), power (VDD, VDDO0–VDDO3), and reserved ground (RSVD_GND).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1 / IN2 | Differential Input Pair 1 | Accepts 5–710 MHz AC-coupled differential clock; requires external 100 Ω termination |
