Product details
Overview
SI5338P-B05983-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 high-speed serial interface timing applications.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338P-B05983-GMR datasheet, SI5338P-B05983-GMR pinout, SI5338P-B05983-GMR application, or SI5338P-B05983-GMR equivalent, key selection criteria include PCIe Gen 4 jitter compliance (0.15–0.45 ps RMS), independent output voltage per driver (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), MultiSynth™ fractional synthesis resolution (1 ppb), spread-spectrum control (0.5–5.0% deviation), and loss-of-lock/loss-of-signal alarm support.
Technical Context
The SI5338P-B05983-GMR implements a two-stage PLL architecture: a high-stability reference stage (input frequency range 5–710 MHz) followed by four independent MultiSynth™ synthesis blocks, each supporting integer or fractional-N division with programmable R, M, and P dividers. Each output driver supports LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CMOS/SSTL/HSTL formats with per-output VDDO selection.
It features pin-controlled or I²C-configurable frequency increment/decrement (1 ppm steps), phase adjustment (<20 ps resolution), and spread-spectrum modulation (33–63 kHz rate, 0.5–5.0% spread). External feedback mode enables zero-delay operation, and status monitoring includes INTR pin assertion for loss-of-lock and loss-of-signal events.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5338A-B05983-GM | Same silicon, different factory-programmed NVM image; B05983-GM lacks preloaded configuration and requires full I²C initialization. | No preprogrammed startup behavior; requires external microcontroller or EEPROM for boot-time clock delivery. | Select B05983-GM only if custom configuration is mandatory and boot-time clocking is handled externally. |
| LMK04832RHAR | Two PLLs (not four independent synthesizers); higher power (120 mA vs. 45 mA typ); larger 48-QFN package. | Targeted at JESD204B/JESD204C converter timing; lacks per-output VDDO and hardware PINC/FINC controls. | Choose LMK04832RHAR only when dual-loop cascaded jitter cleaning is required over independent multi-frequency synthesis. |
Compared with Si5338A-B05983-GM and LMK04832RHAR, SI5338P-B05983-GMR delivers factory-programmed, plug-and-play operation with lowest power and smallest footprint-ideal for PCIe Gen 4 and multi-gigabit Ethernet where startup reliability and board space are critical.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed configuration of the SI5338P-B05983-GMR?
The SI5338P-B05983-GMR ships with a preloaded NVM image configured for PCIe Gen 4 common clock operation: 100 MHz LVDS outputs on CLK0A/B and CLK1A/B, 100 MHz HCSL on CLK2A/B, and 100 MHz LVPECL on CLK3A/B-all derived from a 25 MHz crystal input. This eliminates boot-time I²C programming and ensures immediate clock validity within 2 ms of power-up.
Does the SI5338P-B05983-GMR support spread-spectrum clocking (SSC) on all four outputs simultaneously?
Yes, the SI5338P-B05983-GMR supports independent spread-spectrum modulation on any output: frequency deviation (0.5–5.0%), modulation rate (33–63 kHz), and direction (down-spread or center-spread) are fully programmable per output via I²C registers. Hardware SSC control is not available; configuration requires register writes.
Can the SI5338P-B05983-GMR generate four different frequencies above 350 MHz?
No. The SI5338P-B05983-GMR can output two unique frequencies above 350 MHz simultaneously-specifically Fvco/4 and Fvco/6-due to VCO architecture constraints. Other outputs above 350 MHz must duplicate one of those two frequencies. For example, CLK0A/B and CLK1A/B may run at 473.33 MHz and 550 MHz, while CLK2A/B and CLK3A/B must match one of those values.
What is the minimum input frequency supported in PLL bypass (clock buffer) mode for the SI5338P-B05983-GMR?
In PLL bypass mode, the SI5338P-B05983-GMR supports input frequencies as low as 1 MHz on single-ended inputs (IN3/IN4) and 5 MHz on differential inputs (IN1/IN2, IN5/IN6). However, loss-of-signal detection is disabled below 5 MHz, and additive phase jitter increases to 0.165 ps RMS (12 kHz–20 MHz) at 622.08 MHz input.
How does the SI5338P-B05983-GMR handle power supply sequencing between VDD and VDDOx rails?
The SI5338P-B05983-GMR has no strict power sequencing requirement: VDD (core) and VDDOx (output buffers) may be powered in any order. All outputs remain in high-impedance state until VDD stabilizes and internal POR completes (~15 ms), preventing bus contention. VDDOx sequencing is irrelevant since each output bank is isolated and enabled only after its respective VDDOx reaches valid threshold.
