Product details
Overview
SI5341B-B-GMR from Skyworks Solutions is an ultra-low-jitter, any-frequency clock generator IC with 10 programmable differential/LVCMOS outputs, integrated DSPLL and five independent MultiSynth™ fractional-N dividers, supporting output frequencies from 100 Hz to 712.5 MHz per channel. It powers up with factory- or field-programmed NVM configuration and is used in high-speed networking, telecom infrastructure, and data center timing systems requiring sub-200 fs RMS jitter.
For engineers reviewing the SI5341B-B-GMR datasheet, SI5341B-B-GMR pinout, SI5341B-B-GMR application, or SI5341B-B-GMR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 64-pin QFN package, I²C/SPI programmability, zero-delay mode capability, differential output format flexibility (LVPECL/LVDS/HCSL/CML), and support for crystal or external reference inputs on XA/XB or IN0–IN2.
Technical Context
The SI5341B-B-GMR implements a fully integrated DSPLL architecture with no external loop filter required, locking to reference inputs (25 MHz crystal or 48–54 MHz XTAL, or external clocks on XA/XB/IN0–IN2) and distributing phase-coherent outputs via a crosspoint mux. Its five 44-bit numerator / 32-bit denominator MultiSynth™ N-dividers enable true any-frequency synthesis with 0 ppm frequency error.
Each of the 10 outputs features independent VDDO supply, selectable signal format (LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, CML, or LVCMOS), programmable amplitude, polarity, and synchronous/asynchronous enable/disable control. The device supports dynamic frequency reconfiguration without PLL relock and includes fault monitoring (LOL, LOSXAB) with interrupt pin (INTRb) and status registers.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MultiSynth™ fractional-N synthesis | Five independent 44/32-bit N-dividers enable simultaneous, jitter-optimized generation of up to 10 unrelated frequencies. |
| Zero-delay mode | Eliminates propagation delay between input reference and selected output - critical for deterministic latency in packet processing. |
| Integrated DSPLL | Fully on-chip PLL with no external loop filter components - reduces board area, BOM count, and noise coupling risk. |
| Dynamic reconfiguration | Real-time output frequency changes without PLL unlock/relock - maintains system synchronization during runtime adjustments. |
| Output crosspoint mux | Arbitrarily routes any synthesized MultiSynth™ frequency to any output driver - maximizes routing flexibility and design reuse. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5342B-B-GMR | Same architecture but with 4 outputs instead of 10; shares identical NVM programming flow and ClockBuilder Pro support. | Targeted at cost-sensitive, lower I/O-count applications (e.g., edge routers, small-cell base stations). | Select when only 4 outputs are needed and board space or BOM cost is constrained - same footprint not supported. |
| LMK04832RHAR | Two-stage PLL (jitter cleaner + generator); higher integrated phase noise floor (>150 fs RMS typical); requires external loop filter. | Better suited for ultra-low-noise cleaning of noisy references rather than pure any-frequency generation. | Choose when input reference has >1 ps jitter and must be cleaned before distribution - SI5341B-B-GMR excels as standalone synthesizer. |
Compared with Si5342B-B-GMR, SI5341B-B-GMR provides six additional outputs and full crosspoint routing, making it suitable for complex multi-protocol systems; versus LMK04832RHAR, it eliminates external loop components and delivers superior synthesis flexibility but trades off some jitter cleaning capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by the SI5341B-B-GMR?
The SI5341B-B-GMR supports output frequencies from 100 Hz up to 712.5 MHz per channel. This range covers common standards including 156.25 MHz (10GbE), 322.265625 MHz (InfiniBand HDR), and 491.52 MHz (5G fronthaul), all while maintaining sub-200 fs RMS jitter performance. The upper limit is defined by the internal VCO and output driver bandwidth, not by the MultiSynth™ divider resolution.
Does the SI5341B-B-GMR require external loop filter components?
No, the SI5341B-B-GMR integrates a fully self-contained DSPLL with on-chip loop filter. This eliminates external passive components, reduces PCB area, avoids noise coupling risks associated with discrete filters, and simplifies layout - a key differentiator versus traditional two-stage PLL clock generators. All loop dynamics are configured via register settings.
How many times can the NVM of the SI5341B-B-GMR be reprogrammed in the field?
The SI5341B-B-GMR contains three NVM banks: one reserved for factory programming and two user-accessible banks. This allows up to two field reprogramming cycles using standard VDD (1.8 V) and VDDA (3.3 V) supplies. Each burn operation is verified via DEVICE_READY polling, and ACTIVE_NVM_BANK register confirms the active bank after successful programming.
Can the SI5341B-B-GMR generate zero-delay outputs?
Yes, the SI5341B-B-GMR supports zero-delay mode, where a selected output replicates the phase and timing of a chosen input reference (e.g., XA/XB or IN0) with minimal propagation delay. This feature is implemented digitally within the crosspoint and output path, enabling deterministic latency for time-sensitive applications like packet timestamping and TSN synchronization.
What output signal formats does the SI5341B-B-GMR support?
The SI5341B-B-GMR supports LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, CML, and LVCMOS output formats - each configurable per output channel. LVCMOS supports drive strength selection (2 mA to 16 mA), swing control (1.2 V to 3.3 V), and polarity inversion. Differential formats include amplitude tuning (e.g., 350–800 mVpp for LVDS) and termination-aware driver settings to match PCB trace impedance.
