Product details
Overview
SI5338P-B04734-GM from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-output, I²C-programmable clock generator with MultiSynth™ frequency synthesis, delivering four independent low-jitter clocks (0.7 ps RMS 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-B04734-GM datasheet, SI5338P-B04734-GM pinout, SI5338P-B04734-GM application, or SI5338P-B04734-GM equivalent, key selection criteria include PCIe Gen 4 jitter compliance (0.15–0.45 ps RMS), independent per-output voltage control (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), 4× differential output capability, 24-QFN package footprint, and I²C/SMBus programmability with ClockBuilder Pro support.
Technical Context
The SI5338P-B04734-GM implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability reference stage (with external crystal or CMOS/SSTL/differential inputs) feeding a fractional-N MultiSynth™ synthesis stage per output. Each of the four outputs features independent R-, M-, and P-divider configuration, enabling true zero-ppm frequency accuracy and sub-20 ps phase step resolution.
It supports flexible input references (8–30 MHz crystal, 5–710 MHz differential), independent output format selection per driver, and advanced features including glitchless frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps), programmable spread spectrum (0.5–5.0% at 33–63 kHz), loss-of-lock/loss-of-signal alarms, and external feedback for zero-delay mode.

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-D06989-GM | Higher integration: includes integrated crystal, lower jitter (0.35 ps RMS), supports up to 12 outputs via fanout | Targeted at space-constrained, ultra-low-jitter applications (e.g., optical transport, 5G RU); lacks external crystal option | Select when crystal integration and sub-0.4 ps jitter are mandatory; not drop-in due to different pinout and no external XTAL pads |
| ICS8430I-01T | Fixed-frequency, non-programmable quad LVDS clock generator; 1.2 ps RMS jitter; no I²C interface or frequency flexibility | Used in cost-sensitive, static-clocking applications (e.g., legacy storage controllers); no spread spectrum or phase adjustment | Select only for fixed-frequency designs where programmability is unnecessary; requires redesign for any clock change |
Compared with Si5332A-D06989-GM and ICS8430I-01T, the SI5338P-B04734-GM uniquely balances field-programmability, PCIe Gen 4 compliance, external crystal support, and 24-QFN compactness-making it optimal for mid-volume, multi-standard timing in networking and compute platforms where flexibility and qualification assurance are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by the SI5338P-B04734-GM?
The SI5338P-B04734-GM supports up to 710 MHz on LVPECL/LVDS/CML outputs, 350 MHz on SSTL/HSTL, 250 MHz on HCSL, and 200 MHz on CMOS. Frequencies above 350 MHz are limited to two unique values simultaneously (Fvco/4 and Fvco/6) per the MultiSynth™ architecture. All outputs maintain 0.7 ps RMS typical jitter within their respective ranges.
Does the SI5338P-B04734-GM support PCIe Gen 4 Separate Reference No Spread (SRNS) mode?
Yes, the SI5338P-B04734-GM is explicitly validated for PCIe Gen 4 SRNS operation with 0.11–0.32 ps RMS jitter (typ/max) when configured with a PLL bandwidth of 2–4 MHz and CDR = 10 MHz. This compliance is documented in Table 12 of the official Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.6.
Can the SI5338P-B04734-GM generate four different output voltages simultaneously?
Yes-the SI5338P-B04734-GM provides four independent VDDO pins (VDDO0–VDDO3), each configurable for 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V. This allows simultaneous LVDS (2.5 V), HCSL (1.8 V), SSTL (1.5 V), and CMOS (3.3 V) outputs without external level shifters.
Is an external crystal required for SI5338P-B04734-GM operation?
No-an external crystal is optional. The SI5338P-B04734-GM accepts multiple reference sources: 8–30 MHz crystal (on IN1/IN2), 5–200 MHz CMOS (IN3/IN4), or 5–710 MHz differential (IN1/IN2, IN5/IN6). Crystal-less operation is fully supported using a buffered system clock as reference.
How is the SI5338P-B04734-GM programmed and configured?
The SI5338P-B04734-GM is programmed via its I²C/SMBus interface (SCL/SDA pins) using Skyworks' ClockBuilder Pro software. Configuration includes output format, frequency, voltage, spread spectrum, phase offset, and alarm thresholds-all stored in on-chip OTP NVM for power-on readiness in <2 ms.
