Product details
Overview
SI5348B-D07011-GM from Silicon Labs is a triple-DSPLL network synchronizer IC for SyncE/IEEE 1588 telecom boundary (T-BC) and slave (T-TSC) clock applications, delivering 100 fs typical jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz), 1 Hz–350 MHz LVCMOS/differential output range, and programmable loop bandwidth from 0.001 Hz to 4 kHz - deployed in wireless backhaul, IP radio, and data center switches requiring Stratum 3E/G.8273.2 compliance.
For engineers reviewing the SI5348B-D07011-GM datasheet, SI5348B-D07011-GM pinout, SI5348B-D07011-GM application, or SI5348B-D07011-GM equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin roles, real-world timing architecture trade-offs, and validated alternative options for telecom synchronization design-in.
Technical Context
The SI5348B-D07011-GM integrates three independent DSPLLs, each configurable as SyncE PLL, IEEE 1588 DCO, or general-purpose PLL, with individual loop bandwidth control (0.001 Hz–4 kHz) and fastlock mode (100 Hz–4 kHz) for accelerated lock acquisition. It uses dual reference inputs: 48–54 MHz crystal (XA/XB) sets intrinsic jitter performance, while TCXO/OCXO on REF/REFb determines free-run and holdover accuracy (±4.6 ppm for Stratum 3E).
Input flexibility includes five clock inputs (IN0–IN4): IN0–IN2 support differential (LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL/CML) and single-ended LVCMOS (8 kHz–250 MHz); IN3/IN4 are LVCMOS-only (8 kHz–250 MHz). Output crosspoint enables any of seven outputs (OUT0–OUT6) to be assigned to any DSPLL, with OUT6 supporting 1 PPS/1 Hz for PTP timestamp alignment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Jitter (RMS) | 100 fs typical (12 kHz–20 MHz integration band) - enables sub-100 ps phase error in high-precision PTP slave clocks. |
| Output Frequency Range | 1 Hz to 350 MHz (LVCMOS); 1 PPS to 350 MHz (differential) - covers 1 PPS timing, SyncE rates (1.544/2.048/10.3125 MHz), and FPGA processor clocks. |
| DSPLL Count | Three independent DSPLLs - supports concurrent T-BC operation (SyncE + PTP), holdover fallback per domain, and multi-protocol timing isolation. |
| Loop Bandwidth | Programmable 0.001 Hz to 4 kHz per DSPLL - meets G.8262 EEC Option 1 (1–10 Hz), Option 2 (<0.1 Hz), and GR-253 Stratum 3E (0.001 Hz). |
| DCO Resolution | 1 ppt/step in locked mode - provides precise frequency steering for IEEE 1588 servo loops without external DAC or tuning voltage. |
| Supply Voltages | VDD = 1.8 V ±5%; VDDA = 3.3 V ±5%; independent output supplies (1.8/2.5/3.3 V) - enables mixed-signal board integration with FPGA I/O banks. |
| Package | 64-pin QFN (9 × 9 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) - supports high-density telecom line card layouts with thermal pad for 85 °C ambient operation. |
Pinout & Package
SI5348B-D07011-GM is housed in a 64-lead, 9 × 9 mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad (RoHS-6 compliant, –40 °C to +85 °C). Pin functions align with Si5348 Rev D datasheet Section 9 (Pin Descriptions) and Figure 9.1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN0–IN4 | Input clock receivers | IN0–IN2 accept LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL/CML/LVCMOS; IN3/IN4 LVCMOS-only - enable hybrid input sourcing (e.g., SyncE line clock + 1 PPS + PTP recovered clock). |
| XA/XB | Crystal oscillator terminals | Connect 48–54 MHz fundamental-mode crystal; internal 8 pF load caps eliminate external components - critical for achieving 100 fs jitter floor. |
| REF/REFb | Differential reference input | Accepts TCXO/OCXO (5–250 MHz); defines free-run/holdover accuracy - direct tie to Stratum 3E (±4.6 ppm) stability requirement. |
| OUT0–OUT6 | Programmable clock outputs | Each routed via crosspoint to any DSPLL; OUT6 supports 1 Hz/1 PPS - enables PTP timestamp alignment without external dividers. |
| FINC/FDEC | DCO step control pins | Hardware-triggered frequency increment/decrement (1 ppt/step); bypasses serial interface for low-latency PTP servo updates. |
| I2C/SPI | Configuration interface | 3-/4-wire SPI or I2C (SDA/SDIO, SCLK, A0/CSb, A1/SDO, I2C_SEL) - supports in-circuit programming and dynamic reconfiguration. |
| RSTb | Hard reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset; restores all registers and NVM configuration - ensures deterministic power-up state for carrier-grade reliability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent DSPLL architecture | Enables simultaneous SyncE boundary clocking, IEEE 1588 slave timing, and legacy SETS Stratum 3E operation on one die - eliminates multi-chip timing solutions. |
| Hitless and ramped input switching | Prevents phase transients during clock source failover (e.g., primary SyncE link loss → backup PTP recovery) - maintains packet delay variation (PDV) < 10 ns in live networks. |
| Programmable holdover history window | Stores 120 s of locked-frequency data; user-selectable averaging window/delay - minimizes holdover drift when primary reference fails unexpectedly. |
| Digital control oscillator (DCO) mode | 1 ppt resolution, pin- or SPI-controlled frequency adjustment - replaces analog VCXO tuning in PTP implementations, simplifying layout and improving long-term stability. |
| Standards-compliant output drivers | Configurable LVDS/LVPECL/LVCMOS/HCSL/CML with programmable common-mode voltage and impedance - matches diverse PHY interfaces (e.g., Ethernet MAC, framer, SerDes). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar network synchronizer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5345B-D08511-GM | Single-DSPLL, 1 Hz–350 MHz output, identical package and pinout but no DCO mode or holdover history averaging. | Limited to simpler SyncE-only or basic PTP slave use; lacks T-BC capability and precision holdover required for carrier-grade T-BC. | Select when cost-sensitive designs require only one synchronized domain and omit advanced PTP servo or holdover features. |
| LMK5B33414RGZT | Quad-PLL architecture, 100 fs jitter, supports JESD204B and PCIe Gen5; requires external EEPROM for configuration. | Better suited for multi-protocol systems (JESD204B + SyncE + PTP); lacks native G.8273.2 T-BC certification and integrated holdover memory. | Choose for mixed-signal test equipment or radar where JESD204B clocking coexists with telecom timing - not drop-in for certified T-BC deployments. |
Compared with SI5348B-D07011-GM, Si5345B-D08511-GM reduces complexity and BOM count for single-domain SyncE, while LMK5B33414RGZT extends protocol coverage beyond telecom into high-speed data converter timing - neither replicates the integrated T-BC certification, 120-second holdover history, or pin-controlled DCO of the SI5348B-D07011-GM.

FAQ
What is the primary timing standard compliance of the SI5348B-D07011-GM?
The SI5348B-D07011-GM is fully compliant with ITU-T G.8273.2 for Telecom Boundary Clock (T-BC), ITU-T G.8262 EEC Options 1 and 2 for Synchronous Ethernet, and Telcordia GR-253 Stratum 3E. It also meets G.812 Type III/IV and G.813 Option 1 for network synchronization hierarchies - all verified in the official Si5348 Rev D datasheet.
Does the SI5348B-D07011-GM support 1 PPS output, and which pin delivers it?
Yes, the SI5348B-D07011-GM supports 1 PPS (1 Hz) output exclusively on OUT6, enabled via crosspoint routing to any of the three DSPLLs. This capability is explicitly documented in Section 3.9.2 of the Si5348 Rev D datasheet and is used for PTP timestamp alignment in T-BC and T-TSC applications.
How does the holdover function work on the SI5348B-D07011-GM, and what determines its accuracy?
The SI5348B-D07011-GM stores up to 120 seconds of historical frequency data during lock; upon reference loss, it calculates holdover frequency from a programmable window of that data. Accuracy depends entirely on the external TCXO/OCXO connected to REF/REFb - achieving ±4.6 ppm for Stratum 3E as specified in Table 3.2 of the datasheet.
Can the SI5348B-D07011-GM operate without an external crystal, and what is the impact on jitter?
No - the SI5348B-D07011-GM requires a 48–54 MHz crystal on XA/XB to achieve its 100 fs jitter specification. While an external clock may be substituted (per Section 3.6.1), doing so degrades jitter performance significantly and voids the guaranteed 100 fs RMS value stated in the datasheet for crystal-based operation.
What interfaces are supported for configuring the SI5348B-D07011-GM, and is in-circuit programming possible?
The SI5348B-D07011-GM supports both I2C and 3-/4-wire SPI for configuration, with in-circuit programmable non-volatile memory (NVM) ensuring known-power-up state. ClockBuilder Pro software generates configuration files, and factory pre-programmed units (e.g., SI5348B-D07011-GM) ship with NVM populated - eliminating field programming requirements.
