Product details
Overview
SI5346B-D-GMR from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-DSPLL jitter-attenuating clock multiplier designed for high-reliability telecom and networking timing applications. It delivers ultra-low 95 fs RMS jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz), supports independent input-to-output frequency synthesis up to 350 MHz differential, operates across –40°C to +85°C, and integrates in-circuit programmable non-volatile memory for known-power-up configuration. It serves as the primary jitter cleanup and clock regeneration IC on 10/40/100G line cards.
For engineers reviewing the SI5346B-D-GMR datasheet, SI5346B-D-GMR pinout, SI5346B-D-GMR application, or SI5346B-D-GMR equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-DSPLL architecture with per-PLL programmable loop bandwidth (0.1 Hz–4 kHz), hitless/ramped/glitchless input switching capability, flexible LVDS/LVPECL/LVCMOS/HCSL/CML output formatting, and factory preprogrammability via ClockBuilder Pro™ software.
Technical Context
The SI5346B-D-GMR implements two independent fourth-generation DSPLLs, each with full access to all four inputs (IN0–IN3) and configurable routing to any of its four outputs (OUT0–OUT3). Each DSPLL features fractional-N synthesis (Pn/Pd, Mn/Md, Rn dividers), programmable loop bandwidth, and support for free-run, locked, holdover, and DCO modes.
It incorporates status monitoring (LOS/OOF/LOL), automatic/manual input selection with revertive/non-revertive priority, gapped-clock synchronization, and ramped holdover exit with user-selectable ramp rates (0.2–40,000 ppm/s). Core supply is 1.8 V ±5%, analog supply 3.3 V ±5%, and output supplies are independently selectable at 3.3 V, 2.5 V, or 1.8 V.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent DSPLLs | Enables fully isolated timing domains on one die - e.g., one PLL for SyncE line timing, another for packet processing clocks. |
| Hitless input switching | Maintains phase continuity during failover between frequency-locked inputs (e.g., primary/backup SyncE sources), eliminating system-level phase transients. |
| Ramped holdover exit | Smoothly transitions output frequency from holdover value to new locked frequency using linear ramp (0.2–40,000 ppm/s), preventing overshoot in PLL-based receivers. |
| Glitchless DSPLL reconfiguration | Allows dynamic frequency changes (e.g., rate adaptation) without runt pulses or metastability - critical for hitless service provisioning. |
| In-circuit programmable NVM | Ensures deterministic power-up state without external configuration EEPROM; reduces BOM count and boot-time dependency. |
Applications
| OTN Muxponders | 100G Line Cards |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar jitter-attenuating clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5346A-D-GMR | Supports up to 720 MHz differential output; wider frequency range but higher power consumption and cost. | Required when >350 MHz outputs (e.g., 644.53125 MHz CPRI, 710 MHz 5G fronthaul) are needed. | Select SI5346B-D-GMR for cost-optimized 10/40/100G SyncE where 350 MHz ceiling is sufficient. |
| LMK04832RHAR | Triple PLL architecture with integrated LDOs; 114 fs RMS jitter; supports JESD204B subclass 1 deterministic latency. | Better suited for RF sampling and high-speed data converter timing where deterministic delay matters more than ultra-low jitter. | Choose SI5346B-D-GMR when ultra-low jitter (<100 fs) and multi-input redundancy are primary; LMK04832 when JESD204B sync and on-chip regulation are required. |
Compared with Si5346A-D-GMR, SI5346B-D-GMR trades maximum output frequency for lower power and cost while retaining identical jitter performance and feature set below 350 MHz. Against LMK04832RHAR, it offers superior jitter and simpler configuration but lacks JESD204B-specific features and integrated power management.

FAQ
What is the maximum differential output frequency supported by the SI5346B-D-GMR?
The SI5346B-D-GMR supports differential output frequencies up to 350 MHz, as specified in the Si5347/46 Rev D datasheet Table 2.1. This limit applies to LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL, and CML output formats. Frequencies above 350 MHz require the SI5346A-D-GMR variant, which supports up to 720 MHz. The 350 MHz ceiling ensures optimal jitter performance and signal integrity within the device's validated operating range.
Does the SI5346B-D-GMR support hitless switching between two input clocks?
Yes, the SI5346B-D-GMR supports hitless input switching when both clocks are frequency-locked (identical or integer-related frequencies). During such a switch, the DSPLL absorbs the phase difference internally, preventing propagation of phase transients to the output. This behavior is enabled per-DSPLL via register configuration and is essential for maintaining phase continuity in SyncE and OTN applications where input source failover must be imperceptible to downstream equipment.
Can the SI5346B-D-GMR operate without an external crystal?
No - the SI5346B-D-GMR requires an external 25–54 MHz crystal connected to the XA/XB pins to provide the ultra-low-jitter reference for DSPLL operation in free-run and holdover modes. While it accepts external REFCLK on XA/XB, the crystal mode is mandatory for achieving the specified 95 fs RMS jitter and stable holdover performance. The internal oscillator and programmable PREF divider support crystal frequencies in this range without external loading capacitors.
How many independent timing domains does the SI5346B-D-GMR provide?
The SI5346B-D-GMR provides two fully independent timing domains via its dual DSPLL architecture. Each DSPLL has dedicated fractional-N synthesis, programmable loop bandwidth, input selection logic, and output routing - allowing simultaneous generation of unrelated output frequencies (e.g., 156.25 MHz SyncE + 311.04 MHz OTU4) from separate input sources without crosstalk or shared control dependencies.
Is the SI5346B-D-GMR pin-compatible with other Si5346 variants?
Yes - all Si5346 variants (A/B/C/D) share identical 44-QFN 7×7 mm packaging and pinout per datasheet Section 10.2. The SI5346B-D-GMR is mechanically and electrically compatible with SI5346A-D-GMR, SI5346C-D-GMR, and SI5346D-D-GMR. Differences are limited to output frequency range and internal configuration; no PCB redesign is required when upgrading or downgrading within the Si5346 family.
