Product details
Overview
SI5348B-D-GMR from Skyworks Solutions is a three-DSPLL network synchronizer IC for SyncE/IEEE 1588 telecom boundary (T-BC) and slave (T-TSC) clocking, delivering 100 fs typical jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz), 1 Hz–350 MHz LVCMOS/differential output range, and programmable DCO resolution to 1 ppt for PTP steering. It supports ITU-T G.8273.2, G.8262 EEC Options 1 & 2, and Stratum 3E compliance in wireless backhaul and data center switch timing systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI5348B-D-GMR datasheet, SI5348B-D-GMR pinout, SI5348B-D-GMR application, or SI5348B-D-GMR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin roles, real-world application mappings, and two validated alternative parts with functional and selection guidance - all grounded in Skyworks' Rev D specification and ordering guide.
Technical Context
The SI5348B-D-GMR integrates three independent DSPLLs-each configurable as SyncE PLL, IEEE 1588 DCO, or general-purpose PLL-with fully programmable loop bandwidth (0.001 Hz–4 kHz) and fastlock mode (100 Hz–4 kHz). Its architecture separates jitter performance (determined by 48–54 MHz XTAL at XA/XB) from frequency accuracy/stability (determined by TCXO/OCXO at REF/REFb).
Each DSPLL supports hitless, ramped, and glitchless input switching across five inputs (IN0–IN4), 1 PPS–350 MHz outputs (OUT0–OUT6), and dual-mode control via I²C/SPI with in-circuit NVM. DCO operation is enabled only in locked mode, with frequency step words (FSW) applied via FINC/FDEC pins or serial interface for sub-ppt PTP phase alignment.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar network synchronizer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5348A-D-GM | Supports 1 Hz–718.5 MHz output range vs. SI5348B-D-GMR's 1 Hz–350 MHz; identical DSPLL count, jitter, and feature set | Required where >350 MHz outputs (e.g., 500 MHz SerDes clocks) are needed; otherwise functionally interchangeable in ≤350 MHz designs | Select SI5348A-D-GM only if higher-frequency outputs are mandatory; SI5348B-D-GMR offers cost and power optimization for sub-350 MHz use cases |
| LMK5B33414 | Four PLLs, integrated 100 MHz XO, lower jitter (85 fs), but no DCO mode; supports JESD204B but lacks G.8273.2 T-BC certification | Better suited for JESD204B baseband timing than telecom T-BC; requires external DCO implementation for PTP steering | Choose LMK5B33414 for high-speed ADC/DAC clocking; retain SI5348B-D-GMR for standards-compliant telecom boundary clocking with native DCO |
Compared with Si5348A-D-GM, SI5348B-D-GMR trades maximum output frequency for optimized cost and power in sub-350 MHz telecom applications; versus LMK5B33414, it provides certified T-BC functionality and hardware DCO control essential for carrier-grade PTP deployment.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by SI5348B-D-GMR?
The SI5348B-D-GMR supports a maximum output frequency of 350 MHz for both differential and LVCMOS outputs, as specified in Skyworks' Ordering Guide Table 2.1. This distinguishes it from the SI5348A-D-GM variant, which supports up to 718.5 MHz. The 350 MHz limit applies across all seven outputs (OUT0–OUT6) and is confirmed in the Rev D datasheet Section 2.
Does SI5348B-D-GMR support IEEE 1588 DCO mode with hardware pin control?
Yes, SI5348B-D-GMR supports DCO mode with dedicated FINC and FDEC pins for hardware-triggered frequency adjustments at 1 ppt/step resolution. This feature is active only when the associated DSPLL is in locked mode and is configured via register bits FSW_MASK_A/C/D. Pin-based DCO control eliminates SPI latency for real-time PTP servo updates.
What reference sources does SI5348B-D-GMR require for full compliance?
SI5348B-D-GMR requires two independent references: a 48–54 MHz crystal connected to XA/XB for ultra-low jitter generation, and a TCXO or OCXO (5–250 MHz) connected to REF/REFb to determine frequency accuracy and stability in free-run and holdover modes. Both are mandatory for ITU-T G.8273.2 T-BC and G.8262 EEC compliance.
How many inputs and outputs does SI5348B-D-GMR have, and how are they allocated?
SI5348B-D-GMR has five input terminals (IN0–IN4) and seven output terminals (OUT0–OUT6). IN0–IN2 serve all three DSPLLs via a crosspoint matrix; IN3–IN4 are dedicated to DSPLL D only and accept LVCMOS signals. OUT6 is the sole output supporting 1 Hz/1 PPS, while all outputs support programmable formats including LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL, CML, and LVCMOS.
Is SI5348B-D-GMR pin-compatible with other Si5348 variants?
Yes, SI5348B-D-GMR shares the same 64-QFN (9×9 mm) package and pinout as all Si5348x variants, including SI5348A-D-GM and SI5348-D-EVB. Pin compatibility is confirmed in Skyworks' Package Outline (Section 10) and Pin Descriptions (Section 9) of the Rev D datasheet, enabling drop-in replacement where output frequency range permits.
