Product details
Overview
SI5345D-B-GM from Skyworks is a 10-channel, any-frequency jitter attenuator/clock multiplier featuring fourth-generation DSPLL™ and MultiSynth™ architectures. It delivers ultra-low 90 fs rms jitter, supports differential inputs up to 750 MHz and outputs up to 1028 MHz, and operates in free-run, locked, or holdover modes - enabling precise clock synthesis for SyncE-compliant 100 GbE line cards.
For engineers reviewing the SI5345D-B-GM datasheet, SI5345D-B-GM pinout, SI5345D-B-GM application, or SI5345D-B-GM equivalent, key selection considerations include its 0.1–4 kHz digitally programmable jitter attenuation bandwidth, G.8262 EEC Option 1/2 compliance, I²C/SPI configurability with on-chip NVM, and support for LVDS/LVPECL/LVCMOS/CML/HCSL output formats with independent supply voltage per output bank.
Technical Context
The SI5345D-B-GM implements a dual-stage architecture: a DSPLL loop with fractional input dividers (P) for hitless switching between fractionally related inputs, and programmable MultiSynth dividers (N) with integer R-division for final output frequency synthesis. Its loop bandwidth is fully digital (0.1 Hz–4 kHz), eliminating analog filter sensitivity while ensuring <0.1 dB peaking across all settings.
It integrates status monitoring (LOS/OOF/LOL), glitchless on-the-fly frequency changes, DCO mode with 0.001 ppb step size, and ramped holdover exit using user-selectable slew rates (0.2–40,000 ppm/s). Input qualification, automatic priority-based switching, and gapped-clock locking are handled by an internal state machine without external intervention.

Pinout & Package
SI5345D-B-GM is housed in a 64-pin QFN package (9 × 9 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions align with the Si5345 family's standardized layout, supporting 4 differential/single-ended inputs (IN0–IN3), 10 programmable outputs (OUT0–OUT9), crystal interface (XA/XB), I²C/SPI control (SDA/SCL/MOSI/MISO/SCLK/CSB), and dedicated power/ground banks per output group.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN0–IN3 | Differential or LVCMOS input | Accepts primary timing references; IN3 serves as FB_IN in zero-delay mode |
| OUT0–OUT9 | Programmable clock outputs | Each independently configurable for format, frequency, amplitude, and enable/disable |
| XA/XB | Crytal oscillator interface | Connects 25–54 MHz fundamental-mode crystal; internal load caps eliminate external components |
| SCL/SDA or SCLK/MOSI/MISO/CSB | Serial configuration interface | Supports I²C or SPI; enables in-circuit programming of NVM for power-up configuration |
| INTRb | Interrupt output | Asserts on LOS/OOF/LOL events; enables real-time fault monitoring without polling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hitless input switching | Eliminates phase transients when switching between fractionally related clocks (e.g., 156.25 MHz ↔ 312.5 MHz) |
| Programmable holdover history | Stores 120 s of locked-frequency data; uses programmable window/delay to compute stable holdover frequency |
| Ramped holdover exit | Linearly slews output frequency from holdover value to target at user-defined rate (0.2–40,000 ppm/s) |
| DCO mode resolution | 0.001 ppb frequency step size - enables fine-grained timing adjustments for packet network synchronization |
| Glitchless input pull-in | Locks to new input within ±500 ppm offset without output phase discontinuity or LOL assertion delay |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar jitter attenuator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5345A-D-GM | Supports full 0.001–1028 MHz output range with integer+fractional synthesis; SI5345D-B-GM limited to ≤350 MHz outputs | Required for >350 MHz outputs (e.g., PCIe Gen5 32 GHz reference division) | Select Si5345A-D-GM if output frequencies exceed 350 MHz or fractional synthesis is needed beyond base integer modes |
| LTC6957-3 | Analog PLL-based jitter cleaner; 225 fs rms jitter; no integrated crystal oscillator or NVM; requires external loop filter | Better suited for narrowband, fixed-frequency cleaning where DSPLL flexibility is unnecessary | Choose LTC6957-3 only for cost-sensitive, single-output applications with static clock plans and no need for field reconfiguration |
Compared with SI5345A-D-GM, SI5345D-B-GM trades maximum output frequency and fractional synthesis for tighter specification control in mid-band SyncE applications; versus LTC6957-3, it provides integrated digital programmability, multi-output scalability, and autonomous holdover - at the expense of higher component count in simple single-clock scenarios.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by the SI5345D-B-GM?
The SI5345D-B-GM supports differential output frequencies up to 350 MHz, as specified in Skyworks' Ordering Guide for the "D" variant. This is lower than the full Si5345 family's 1028 MHz capability and reflects its optimization for mid-band SyncE and OTN applications where jitter performance at 156.25 MHz, 311.04 MHz, and similar rates is prioritized over extreme high-frequency reach. The SI5345D-B-GM maintains 90 fs rms jitter across its entire 100 Hz–350 MHz range.
Does the SI5345D-B-GM require an external crystal, and what frequency range is supported?
Yes, the SI5345D-B-GM requires an external fundamental-mode crystal connected to XA/XB pins, operating in the 25–54 MHz range. Skyworks recommends 48–54 MHz crystals for optimal jitter performance. The device integrates internal load capacitors, eliminating the need for external tuning capacitors and reducing board-level noise coupling. Crystal selection directly impacts holdover stability and free-run accuracy, especially in telecom applications requiring tight wander specifications.
How does the SI5345D-B-GM handle loss of input clock, and what is its holdover behavior?
The SI5345D-B-GM automatically enters holdover mode when all valid inputs fail, using up to 120 seconds of stored historical frequency data to compute a stable holdover frequency. Its programmable holdover window and delay allow designers to exclude corrupted pre-failure data. Output frequency drift during holdover depends solely on the external crystal's stability - making TCXO integration advisable for pizza-box SyncE deployments where wander must remain below ITU-T G.8262 limits.
Can the SI5345D-B-GM generate different output formats simultaneously, and how is this configured?
Yes, the SI5345D-B-GM supports simultaneous LVDS, LVPECL, LVCMOS, CML, and HCSL outputs across its 10 channels. Each output bank has independent supply pins (3.3 V, 2.5 V, or 1.8 V), enabling mixed-voltage operation. Format, amplitude, common-mode voltage, and polarity are configured per-output via SPI or I²C registers - all stored in on-chip NVM so the SI5345D-B-GM powers up with the exact required configuration without host intervention.
Is the SI5345D-B-GM pin-compatible with other Si5345 variants such as the SI5345A-D-GM or SI5345C-D-GM?
Yes, all Si5345 variants including SI5345D-B-GM share identical 64-QFN 9×9 mm packaging and pinout. Mechanical and electrical pin compatibility is guaranteed across the Si5345 family. However, functional differences exist: SI5345D-B-GM is factory-configured for ≤350 MHz outputs and integer-only synthesis, whereas SI5345A-D-GM supports full 1028 MHz range with fractional synthesis. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading - only firmware/NVM reprogramming may be required to unlock extended features.
