Product details
Overview
SI5344D-B-GM from Skyworks is a 4-input, 4-output jitter attenuating clock multiplier with fourth-generation DSPLL™ and MultiSynth™ architecture. It delivers ultra-low 90 fs rms jitter, supports differential inputs up to 750 MHz and LVCMOS outputs up to 250 MHz, and meets ITU-T G.8262 EEC Option 1/2 for Synchronous Ethernet. It is used in carrier-grade 10/40/100G line cards requiring hitless clock switching and holdover stability.
For engineers reviewing the SI5344D-B-GM datasheet, SI5344D-B-GM pinout, SI5344D-B-GM application, or SI5344D-B-GM equivalent, key selection criteria include its programmable jitter attenuation bandwidth (0.1 Hz–4 kHz), factory-programmable NVM configuration, support for gapped clock locking, DCO mode with 0.001 ppb step size, and compatibility with LVDS/LVPECL/LVCMOS/CML/HCSL output formats.
Technical Context
The SI5344D-B-GM implements a digitally controlled DSPLL with fully integrated loop filter and programmable loop bandwidth (0.1 Hz–4 kHz), enabling precise jitter filtering without external components. Its MultiSynth dividers support both integer and fractional synthesis, allowing any-output-frequency generation from any input frequency within specified ranges.
It operates across freerun, locked, holdover, and zero-delay modes, with automatic/manual input switching, status monitoring (LOS/OOF/LOL), and glitchless on-the-fly output frequency changes. Input clock qualification, ramped switching, and hitless switching between fractionally related clocks are hardware-supported functions confirmed for this variant.
Key Specifications

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hitless input switching | Eliminates phase transients when switching between fractionally related clocks (e.g., 155.52 MHz ↔ 622.08 MHz) |
| Gapped clock lock | Locks to input signals with missing cycles - essential for modulated reference recovery in OTN muxponders |
| Programmable holdover | Uses 120-second frequency history window to compute stable holdover frequency after input failure |
| DCO mode | Enables fine frequency tuning (0.001 ppb steps) for synchronization applications like IEEE 1588 PTP clock steering |
| Fastlock acquisition | Temporarily raises loop bandwidth (100 Hz–4 kHz) to reduce lock time without compromising steady-state jitter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar jitter attenuator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5344A-D-GM | Supports full 0.001–1028 MHz output range with integer+fractional synthesis; SI5344D-B-GM limited to ≤350 MHz with integer-only mode | Required for >350 MHz outputs (e.g., 622.08 MHz SONET) or fractional ratios (e.g., 125 MHz → 156.25 MHz) | Select Si5344A-D-GM when output frequencies exceed 350 MHz or non-integer frequency translation is needed |
| LTC6957-4 | 4-output jitter cleaner with 225 fs rms jitter; no on-chip NVM; requires external loop filter; max input 750 MHz, max output 3.1 GHz | Better RF performance above 1 GHz but lacks integrated holdover, gapped clock lock, and SyncE compliance features | Choose LTC6957-4 for microwave backhaul or radar where ultra-low additive phase noise dominates over telecom timing compliance |
Compared with SI5344D-B-GM, Si5344A-D-GM adds fractional synthesis capability for wider frequency flexibility, while LTC6957-4 trades integrated timing intelligence (holdover, gapped lock, SyncE) for higher-frequency operation and lower phase noise floor in RF-centric designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by the SI5344D-B-GM?
The SI5344D-B-GM supports an LVCMOS output frequency range up to 250 MHz and a differential output range up to 1028 MHz. However, the "D" suffix in SI5344D-B-GM denotes integer-only synthesis mode with a maximum output frequency of 350 MHz. This limitation is confirmed in Skyworks' Ordering Guide (Rev D), where SI5344D-D-GM1/2 is explicitly rated for 0.001–350 MHz output range.
Does the SI5344D-B-GM support Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) compliance?
Yes, the SI5344D-B-GM meets ITU-T G.8262 EEC Option 1 and Option 2 requirements for Synchronous Ethernet. This compliance is achieved through its programmable DSPLL loop bandwidth (0.1 Hz–4 kHz), holdover stability using averaged historical frequency data, and low 90 fs rms jitter performance - all verified in Skyworks' Si5345/44/42 Rev D Data Sheet Section 1 "Features List".
Can the SI5344D-B-GM lock to gapped clock inputs?
Yes, the SI5344D-B-GM supports locking to gapped clock inputs - a feature explicitly documented in Section 3.7.7 "Synchronizing to Gapped Input Clocks" of the Si5345/44/42 Rev D Data Sheet. This capability enables reliable timing recovery in OTN applications where reference clocks are intentionally modulated by cycle deletion.
What package type and footprint does the SI5344D-B-GM use?
The SI5344D-B-GM uses a 44-pin QFN package measuring 7 mm × 7 mm with 0.5 mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad. This is confirmed in the "Ordering Guide" table and "Package Outlines" section (10.2) of the Si5345/44/42 Rev D Data Sheet, which specifies identical packaging for all Si5344 variants including SI5344D-D-GM1/2.
Is non-volatile memory (NVM) programming supported on the SI5344D-B-GM?
Yes, the SI5344D-B-GM includes in-circuit programmable one-time-programmable (OTP) NVM. As stated in the "Features List", it powers up with a known frequency configuration, and ClockBuilder Pro software enables full configuration and NVM programming - a capability shared across the Si5345/44/42 family and explicitly confirmed for SI5344D-D-GM in the Ordering Guide.
