Product details
Overview
SI5345A-B06103-GM from Skyworks is a 10-channel, any-frequency jitter attenuator and clock multiplier IC featuring fourth-generation DSPLL™ and MultiSynth™ architectures. It delivers ultra-low 90 fs rms jitter, supports 4 differential or LVCMOS inputs and 10 programmable outputs (LVDS/LVPECL/LVCMOS/CML/HCSL), and operates across –40 to +85 °C for SyncE-compliant telecom line cards.
For engineers reviewing the SI5345A-B06103-GM datasheet, SI5345A-B06103-GM pinout, SI5345A-B06103-GM application, or SI5345A-B06103-GM equivalent, this device enables precise jitter-critical timing in OTN transponders, 100 GbE Synchronous Ethernet, and broadcast video systems requiring G.8262 EEC Option 1/2 compliance, hitless input switching, and factory-programmed NVM configuration.
Technical Context
The SI5345A-B06103-GM implements a digitally controlled DSPLL with fully integrated loop filter and programmable jitter attenuation bandwidth (0.1 Hz–4 kHz), enabling optimized phase noise filtering per application. Its MultiSynth architecture uses fractional-N synthesis (Mn/Md) and integer/fractional output dividers (Nn/Nd, Rn) to generate any output frequency from any input.
It supports three operational modes-free-run (crystal-referenced), locked (input-synchronized), and holdover (averaged historical frequency)-with glitchless on-the-fly output changes, DCO mode (0.001 ppb step), and ramped holdover exit. Input qualification includes LOS/OOF/LOL monitoring, gapped clock locking, and automatic/manual hitless switching between fractionally related inputs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar jitter attenuator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5345B-D-GM | Same 64-QFN package and pinout; limited to 350 MHz max output frequency (vs. 1028 MHz) | Suitable for lower-speed applications (e.g., 10G/25G Ethernet, CPRI), not 100G+ or high-frequency RF synthesis | Select if output frequencies stay ≤350 MHz and cost optimization is prioritized over full-bandwidth flexibility |
| LMK5B33414 | TI device with 4 inputs/14 outputs; 80 fs rms jitter; supports JESD204B subclass 1; no integrated crystal oscillator | Targets JESD204B-compliant data converters and radar systems; requires external 100 MHz OCXO for lowest jitter | Choose when JESD204B deterministic latency or higher output count is required, and external precision reference is acceptable |
Compared with SI5345A-B06103-GM, Si5345B-D-GM trades maximum output frequency for lower cost in sub-350 MHz designs, while LMK5B33414 offers more outputs and JESD204B support but requires external OCXO and lacks integrated crystal termination - making SI5345A-B06103-GM optimal for compact, self-contained SyncE and OTN timing where 1028 MHz bandwidth and crystal integration are essential.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SI5345A-B06103-GM in a telecom timing system?
The SI5345A-B06103-GM serves as a jitter-attenuating clock multiplier that cleans and regenerates timing signals in OTN and SyncE systems. It accepts noisy or variable-frequency inputs (e.g., from packet networks), locks its DSPLL to them, and produces up to 10 ultra-low-jitter (90 fs rms) outputs compliant with ITU-T G.8262 EEC Option 1/2 - ensuring stable SerDes operation and frame synchronization. The SI5345A-B06103-GM achieves this using integrated loop filtering and programmable bandwidth without external components.
Does the SI5345A-B06103-GM require an external crystal, and what are the specifications?
Yes, the SI5345A-B06103-GM requires an external fundamental-mode crystal connected to XA/XB pins. Per the Skyworks datasheet, it supports crystals from 25 MHz to 54 MHz, with 48–54 MHz recommended for optimal jitter performance. The device integrates programmable load capacitance (CL), eliminating external capacitors and reducing noise coupling. The SI5345A-B06103-GM also supports external REFCLK (up to 54 MHz) via PREF divider, but crystal operation is preferred for lowest phase noise in free-run and holdover modes.
How does the SI5345A-B06103-GM handle input clock failures in carrier-grade systems?
The SI5345A-B06103-GM enters holdover mode upon input failure, using up to 120 seconds of stored frequency history to compute an averaged holdover frequency. This minimizes phase disturbance at outputs - critical for maintaining GR-1244-CORE-compliant wander. Holdover duration and stability depend on the external crystal's aging and temperature drift; for extended holdover, a TCXO on XA/XB is recommended. The SI5345A-B06103-GM asserts INTRb and status flags (LOL, OOF) to signal faults, enabling system-level failover coordination.
Can the SI5345A-B06103-GM generate different output formats simultaneously?
Yes, the SI5345A-B06103-GM supports concurrent LVDS, LVPECL, LVCMOS, CML, and HCSL outputs across its 10 channels. Each output is independently configurable for signal format, amplitude, common-mode voltage (for differential), and drive strength. This allows a single SI5345A-B06103-GM to drive diverse downstream devices - e.g., LVPECL for high-speed SerDes, LVCMOS for FPGAs, and HCSL for PCIe retimers - without level-shifting components or multiple timing ICs.
Is factory programming supported for the SI5345A-B06103-GM, and how is it configured?
Yes, the SI5345A-B06103-GM includes in-circuit programmable OTP NVM that retains configuration across power cycles. It is preprogrammed at the factory using Skyworks' ClockBuilder Pro™ software, which generates a unique configuration file mapped to the part number suffix (e.g., "B06103"). Configuration includes input/output frequencies, loop bandwidth, holdover parameters, and pin strapping options. The SI5345A-B06103-GM can also be reprogrammed in-system via I²C or SPI, enabling field updates and design iteration without hardware changes.
