Product details
Overview
SI5338P-B04734-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 such as PCIe root complexes and FPGA-based compute platforms.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338P-B04734-GMR datasheet, SI5338P-B04734-GMR pinout, SI5338P-B04734-GMR application, or SI5338P-B04734-GMR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MultiSynth™-based any-frequency synthesis (0.16–710 MHz per output), independent output voltage support (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), spread-spectrum capability (0.5–5.0% down-spread), and 24-QFN package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SI5338P-B04734-GMR implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability reference stage followed by four independent MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesis blocks, each driving one output pair (CLKxA/CLKxB). 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 supports LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL formats with programmable slew rate, drive strength, and termination, plus independent phase adjustment (<20 ps steps) and frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps). The device operates from a single 1.8/2.5/3.3 V core supply with 45 mA typical current draw and includes loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal alarms.

Pinout & Package
SI5338P-B04734-GMR is housed in a 24-lead, 4 × 4 mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad. Pin assignments follow Skyworks' standard Si5338 pinout: dual differential inputs (IN1/IN2, IN5/IN6), two single-ended inputs (IN3, IN4), four differential output pairs (CLK0A/CLK0B through CLK3A/CLK3B), three independent VDDO supplies (VDDO0–VDDO3), shared VDD core, I²C interface (SCL/SDA), interrupt (INTR), and reserved ground (RSVD_GND).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1 / IN2 | Differential reference input pair | Accepts 5–710 MHz AC-coupled differential clock; internal 100 Ω termination enables direct connection to oscillator or SerDes output |
| CLK0A / CLK0B | Differential output pair 0 | Configurable as LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL; independently set frequency, format, voltage, and phase offset |
| VDDO0 | Output buffer supply for CLK0A/B | Decouples noise from core supply; supports 1.5–3.3 V to match connected IC's I/O voltage |
| SCL / SDA | I²C/SMBus programming interface | Allows in-system configuration at power-up or runtime; supports ClockBuilder Pro GUI and register-level firmware updates |
| INTR | Interrupt output | Asserts low on loss-of-lock or loss-of-signal events; enables real-time system fault monitoring without polling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MultiSynth™ synthesis | Four independent fractional-N synthesizers enable true zero-ppm accuracy on all outputs without external VCXOs or trimming |
| PCIe Gen 4 compliance | 0.15–0.45 ps RMS jitter in common clock mode satisfies PCI-SIG® Gen 4 specification for root complex and endpoint timing |
| Independent output voltage control | Each VDDOx pin powers one output pair, allowing simultaneous 1.8 V FPGA clocking and 3.3 V legacy peripheral timing |
| Glitchless frequency tuning | Pin-controlled 1 ppm step increments/decrements enable dynamic clock scaling during thermal or load transients without output interruption |
| Programmable spread spectrum | Configurable 0.5–5.0% down-spread at 33–63 kHz reduces EMI peak emissions in dense PCB layouts without affecting timing margin |
| External feedback mode | Supports zero-delay buffer operation by routing CLKOUT back to FB input, eliminating propagation delay in synchronous fanout trees |

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-D06734-GM | Higher integration: 8 outputs, integrated jitter cleaner, lower 0.35 ps RMS jitter; requires external 100 MHz reference for optimal performance | Better suited for ultra-low-jitter 100G/400G optical modules where sub-0.4 ps RMS is mandatory | Select when PCIe Gen 5 or IEEE 1588 boundary clock requirements demand <0.4 ps RMS jitter and >8 outputs are needed |
| ICS853S02IAGLF | Fixed-frequency, non-programmable; 2 LVDS outputs only; 1.2 ps RMS jitter; no I²C interface or spread spectrum | Limited to static clock fanout in cost-sensitive industrial controllers where frequency agility is unnecessary | Choose only for simple 1:2 LVDS fanout with no configuration needs-lacks any-frequency synthesis or multi-format support |
Compared with SI5338P-B04734-GMR, the Si5332A offers superior jitter and scalability but increases system complexity and cost, while the ICS853S02 provides minimal functionality at lower price-neither matches the balance of programmability, jitter performance, and output flexibility delivered by the SI5338P-B04734-GMR.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by SI5338P-B04734-GMR?
The SI5338P-B04734-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. Frequencies above 350 MHz are limited to two unique values simultaneously (Fvco/4 and Fvco/6) due to VCO architecture constraints. All outputs maintain ≤1 ps RMS jitter within their respective rated ranges.

Yes, SI5338P-B04734-GMR is explicitly validated for PCIe Gen 4 Common Clock mode with 0.15–0.45 ps RMS jitter (10 kHz–50 MHz bandwidth), meeting the PCI-SIG® Base Specification 4.0 rev. 0.5 requirement. This validation applies to HCSL 100 MHz outputs with PLL loop bandwidth set to 2–4 MHz and CDR at 10 MHz.
Can SI5338P-B04734-GMR generate different output voltages on separate pins?
Yes, SI5338P-B04734-GMR provides independent VDDO0–VDDO3 pins, each powering one output pair (CLK0A/B through CLK3A/B). Each VDDO pin accepts 1.4–3.63 V, enabling simultaneous 1.8 V LVDS for an FPGA and 3.3 V CMOS for a microcontroller without external level shifters.
How is SI5338P-B04734-GMR programmed in-system?
SI5338P-B04734-GMR uses an I²C/SMBus-compatible 2-wire interface (SCL/SDA) for in-system programming. Configuration is typically performed using Skyworks' ClockBuilder Pro software, which generates register maps and .c files for embedded initialization. The device retains settings in one-time-programmable (OTP) NVM for automatic boot-up.
What is the thermal performance of SI5338P-B04734-GMR in its 4 × 4 mm QFN package?
SI5338P-B04734-GMR has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 37 °C/W under still-air conditions and junction-to-case (θJC) of 10 °C/W. With typical 45 mA core current and 3.3 V supply, power dissipation remains below 150 mW, enabling reliable operation up to +85 °C ambient without forced airflow or heatsinking.
