Product details
Overview
SI5348B-D06827-GMR from Silicon Labs is a telecom-grade network synchronizer IC implementing three independent DSPLLs for SyncE/IEEE 1588 T-BC and T-TSC applications, delivering 100 fs typical jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz), ±4.6 ppm free-run accuracy with TCXO/OCXO reference, and 1 PPS to 350 MHz differential output frequency range. It serves as the timing engine in wireless backhaul base stations and data center switches requiring ITU-T G.8273.2 compliance.
For engineers reviewing the SI5348B-D06827-GMR datasheet, SI5348B-D06827-GMR pinout, SI5348B-D06827-GMR application, or SI5348B-D06827-GMR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed SyncE/PTP architecture support, and real-world substitution guidance for telecom boundary clock designs.
Technical Context
The SI5348B-D06827-GMR integrates three identical DSPLLs-each configurable as SyncE PLL, IEEE 1588 DCO, or general-purpose PLL-with independent loop bandwidth control (0.001 Hz to 4 kHz) and programmable holdover averaging over up to 120 s of historical frequency data. Its dual-reference architecture uses a 48–54 MHz crystal (XA/XB) for ultra-low jitter synthesis and a TCXO/OCXO on REF/REFb to define free-run and holdover frequency accuracy.
Each DSPLL supports hitless input switching between IN0–IN2 (differential/LVCMOS), manual selection of IN3/IN4 (LVCMOS-only), and DCO mode with 1 ppt/step resolution for PTP timestamp steering. Output drivers are fully configurable per channel: LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL, CML, or LVCMOS, with independent supply pins (1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V) and common-mode voltage tuning.
Key Specifications

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple DSPLL architecture | Three independent, identically spec'd DSPLLs enable simultaneous SyncE boundary clock + IEEE 1588 slave + FPGA processor clock generation. |
| Hitless input switching | Phase-coherent switchover between synchronized inputs prevents output glitches during redundancy failover in telecom infrastructure. |
| Ramped holdover exit | Linear frequency ramp (0.2–40,000 ppm/s) avoids phase jumps when reacquiring lock after reference loss-critical for PTP slave continuity. |
| Programmable holdover history | 120-second stored frequency history with user-defined averaging window/delay ensures minimal phase disturbance during holdover entry/exit. |
| Configurable output drivers | Per-output selection of LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL, CML, or LVCMOS with independent VDDO supplies (1.8/2.5/3.3 V) simplifies multi-voltage system integration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar network synchronizer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5348A-D06827-GM | Same silicon, but rated for 1 Hz–718.5 MHz output range; wider max frequency than SI5348B-D06827-GMR's 350 MHz limit. | Preferred for designs needing >350 MHz outputs (e.g., 718.5 MHz SerDes clocks); not drop-in due to different frequency plan constraints. | Select SI5348A-D06827-GM only if outputs above 350 MHz are required; otherwise SI5348B-D06827-GMR offers optimized power/performance for sub-350 MHz telecom clocks. |
| LMK5B33414RGZR | TI device with dual PLLs (not triple), 110 fs jitter, supports JESD204B but lacks native G.8273.2 T-BC certification evidence in public documentation. | Better suited for JESD204B-heavy RF sampling systems; less validated for ITU-T telecom boundary clock deployments. | Consider LMK5B33414RGZR for mixed-signal test equipment or radar timing; SI5348B-D06827-GMR remains preferred for carrier-grade SyncE/PTP infrastructure. |
Compared with SI5348A-D06827-GM, the SI5348B-D06827-GMR trades maximum output frequency for tighter power optimization in sub-350 MHz telecom clocking; versus LMK5B33414RGZR, it provides certified triple-DSPLL architecture and explicit G.8273.2 T-BC validation-critical for carrier-deployed boundary clocks.

FAQ
What is the primary timing standard compliance of the SI5348B-D06827-GMR?
The SI5348B-D06827-GMR is explicitly certified for ITU-T G.8273.2 (Telecom Boundary Clock), G.8262 (SyncE EEC Options 1 & 2), G.812 Type III/IV, G.813 Option 1, and Telcordia GR-253 Stratum 3E. These certifications are documented in the Si5348 Rev D datasheet Section 3.1 and compliance report, confirming its suitability for carrier-grade synchronization infrastructure where standards adherence is mandatory. The SI5348B-D06827-GMR achieves this through triple DSPLL architecture with independent loop bandwidth and holdover control.
Does the SI5348B-D06827-GMR support IEEE 1588 DCO mode, and what is its resolution?
Yes, the SI5348B-D06827-GMR supports IEEE 1588 DCO mode on all three DSPLLs with 1 ppt (part-per-trillion) frequency step resolution, enabling precise timestamp-based clock steering in PTP slave applications. This is achieved via programmable frequency step words (FSW) controlled either by FINC/FDEC pins or serial interface commands, as specified in Section 3.5 of the Si5348 Rev D datasheet. The SI5348B-D06827-GMR's DCO mode operates only in locked state and is integral to its T-TSC functionality.
What are the valid input frequency ranges supported by the SI5348B-D06827-GMR?
The SI5348B-D06827-GMR accepts: (1) 48–54 MHz crystal on XA/XB; (2) 5–250 MHz TCXO/OCXO on REF/REFb; (3) 8 kHz–750 MHz differential clocks on IN0–IN2; (4) 8 kHz–250 MHz LVCMOS on IN0–IN4. These ranges are confirmed in the Si5348 Rev D datasheet Feature List and Section 3.7. IN3/IN4 are LVCMOS-only and require identical frequencies if both used. The SI5348B-D06827-GMR does not support crystal frequencies outside 48–54 MHz without derating jitter performance.
How many outputs does the SI5348B-D06827-GMR have, and which support 1 Hz/1PPS?
The SI5348B-D06827-GMR has seven outputs (OUT0–OUT6), all configurable via crosspoint matrix to any DSPLL. Only OUT6 is validated to support 1 Hz and 1PPS output generation, as stated in Section 3.9.2 of the Si5348 Rev D datasheet. This capability is essential for PTP grandmaster/slave time-stamping interfaces and GPS-disciplined oscillator backup. Other outputs are limited to ≥1 PPS minimum frequency depending on DSPLL configuration and divider settings.
Is the SI5348B-D06827-GMR pin-compatible with other Si5348 variants like the SI5348A-D-GM?
No, the SI5348B-D06827-GMR is not pin-compatible with SI5348A-D-GM or other factory pre-programmed variants-the "D06827" suffix denotes a unique ClockBuilder Pro-generated configuration ID, not a package variant. All Si5348 devices share the same 64-QFN mechanical footprint and pinout, but electrical behavior (e.g., output frequency plans, DCO enablement, input routing) is defined by NVM programming. The SI5348B-D06827-GMR must be treated as a distinct configured part-not a drop-in replacement-unless the exact same configuration is loaded into another Si5348B unit.
