Product details
Overview
SI5350A-B01998-GM from Skyworks Solutions is a factory-programmed, pin-controlled CMOS clock generator delivering up to 8 independent output frequencies (2.5 kHz–200 MHz) with 0 ppm synthesis error, low period jitter (<70 ps pk-pk), and configurable spread spectrum on any output. It replaces multiple crystals/XOs in audio/video systems, residential gateways, and networking equipment using a single 25 or 27 MHz crystal reference.
For engineers reviewing the SI5350A-B01998-GM datasheet, SI5350A-B01998-GM pinout, SI5350A-B01998-GM application, or SI5350A-B01998-GM equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-QFN-20 package, 8-output capability, PLL + MultiSynth architecture, per-output frequency select (FS_0/FS_1), and HCSL-compatible swing support at 2.5 V VDDO.
Technical Context
The SI5350A-B01998-GM implements a dual-PLL architecture with eight independent high-resolution fractional MultiSynth dividers-one per output-enabling simultaneous generation of non-integer-related frequencies. Each output supports glitchless frequency switching via FS_0/FS_1 control pins and static phase offset configuration.
It operates from a fixed 25 or 27 MHz crystal (XA/XB), uses separate core (VDD) and output (VDDOx) supply rails (1.8/2.5/3.3 V), and achieves <70 ps period jitter (pk-pk) with 50 Ω output impedance. Spread spectrum modulation (±0.1% to ±1.5%, 30–33 kHz) is selectable per output but only available for clocks derived from PLLA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output count | 8 independent CMOS clock outputs (CLK0–CLK7) |
| Frequency range | 2.5 kHz to 200 MHz per output; only two unique frequencies >112.5 MHz simultaneously allowed |
| Period jitter | <70 ps pk-pk (typical, all outputs active, 20-QFN) |
| Core supply | 1.8 V / 2.5 V / 3.3 V (1.71–3.6 V supported); independent from VDDO |
| Output supply | VDDOA–VDDOD individually configurable at 1.8 V / 2.5 V / 3.3 V |
| Crystal reference | 25 MHz or 27 MHz fundamental-mode AT-cut crystal (no external load caps required for 6–10 pF CL) |
| Spread spectrum | Selectable per output: down-spread (–0.1% to –2.5%) or center-spread (±0.1% to ±1.5%), 30–33 kHz modulation rate |
Pinout & Package
SI5350A-B01998-GM is packaged in a 20-pin QFN (4 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are defined per Skyworks Rev. 1.2 datasheet Section 7.1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| XA, XB | Crystal oscillator input pair | Accepts 25 or 27 MHz fundamental crystal; internal load capacitance (0/6/8/10 pF) programmable via ClockBuilder Pro |
| CLK0–CLK7 | Dedicated CMOS clock outputs | Each independently configurable for frequency, drive strength, invert/non-invert, and spread spectrum (PLLA only) |
| VDD, GND | Core power and ground | Supplies PLLs, logic, and MultiSynths; sequencing requires VDD powered before or with VDDOx |
| VDDOA–VDDOD | Output buffer supplies | Four independent rails (VDDOA for CLK0/1, VDDOB for CLK2/3, etc.); enables level translation and HCSL compatibility at 2.5 V |
| P0–P4 | Configurable control inputs | P0 = FS_0, P1 = FS_1, P2 = OEB_0, P3 = OEB_1, P4 = SSEN (PDN tied internally per factory config) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed configuration | Delivers exact pre-validated frequency plan (e.g., 33.333, 74.25, 27, 24.576, 22.5792, 28.322, 125, 48 MHz) without I²C interface or runtime programming |
| Glitchless frequency switching | FS_0/FS_1 pins enable zero-cycle transition between two preconfigured frequencies per output (e.g., CLK0 F1_0/F2_0) |
| HCSL-compatible outputs | When VDDOA = 2.5 V, CLK0/CLK1 can be configured as complementary HCSL pair (50 Ω ZO, 1 Vpp swing) using INV function and external resistors |
| Per-output spread spectrum | Reduces EMI peak amplitude on selected outputs without affecting timing-critical clocks derived from PLLB |
| Low-power operation | 25 mA typical core current with all 8 outputs enabled; 50 µA power-down current when PDN asserted (internal tie) |
Applications
| Audio/Video Timing | Networking PHY Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: HDMI transmitter, audio codec, and video processor require synchronized clocks at 74.25 MHz, 24.576 MHz, and 48 MHz within a set-top box. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-source clock generator replacing three discrete XOs while maintaining sub-100 ps jitter and exact frequency ratios.

Use Value: Lowers cost vs. multiple XOs; enables field-upgradable timing via factory reprogramming (new part number). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5351A-B-GM | I²C-programmable (not factory-configured); 8 outputs; same 2.5 kHz–200 MHz range but higher typical jitter (95 ps pk-pk) | Requires microcontroller host and firmware integration; unsuitable for pin-strapped, no-processor designs | Choose Si5351A-B-GM only if runtime reconfiguration or dynamic frequency changes are required. |
| CDCE906PWR | 3-output, 0.5–235 MHz; integrated 3.3 V LDO; no spread spectrum; 100 ps pk-pk jitter; TSSOP-24 package | Limited to 3 clocks; lacks per-output control (FS/SSEN/OEB); no HCSL support; higher jitter limits high-speed SerDes use | CDCE906PWR fits simple 3-clock systems where cost and footprint outweigh flexibility and jitter performance. |

FAQ
What is the crystal requirement for SI5350A-B01998-GM?
The SI5350A-B01998-GM requires a fundamental-mode AT-cut crystal operating at either 25 MHz or 27 MHz. Internal load capacitance options (0, 6, 8, or 10 pF) eliminate external capacitors for most crystals; for 12 pF crystals, ≤2 pF external capacitance (e.g., 4 pF on XA/XB) is supported. The SI5350A-B01998-GM does not accept external clock signals on XA/XB unless specifically configured during factory programming.
Does SI5350A-B01998-GM support HCSL output levels?
Yes, SI5350A-B01998-GM supports HCSL-compatible swing when VDDOA is set to 2.5 V and CLK0/CLK1 are configured as complementary (one inverted) with external 511 Ω and 240 Ω resistors per Skyworks Figure 3. This functionality is validated only for the 20-QFN and 10-MSOP packages-not the 16-QFN variant-and requires proper termination to achieve 1 Vpp differential swing.
How many frequencies can SI5350A-B01998-GM generate above 112.5 MHz simultaneously?
The SI5350A-B01998-GM supports only two unique frequencies above 112.5 MHz at the same time-for example, 125 MHz on CLK0 and 130 MHz on CLK1. Additional outputs may duplicate those frequencies (e.g., 125 MHz on CLK0–CLK3), but introducing a third distinct frequency >112.5 MHz violates specification and risks timing failure. This limit arises from PLL bandwidth and MultiSynth divider resolution constraints.
Is SI5350A-B01998-GM pin-compatible with other Si5350 variants?
No-SI5350A-B01998-GM is a specific factory-programmed 20-QFN-20 variant with fixed configuration. While it shares the same 20-pin QFN footprint with other Si5350A-Bxxxxx-GM parts, pin functions (e.g., P0–P4 assignments) and internal settings (spread spectrum enable, FS mapping, output frequencies) are unique to this part number and cannot be altered post-manufacture. Substituting another Si5350A-B part requires validation of its programmed behavior.
What is the power-up time for SI5350A-B01998-GM?
The SI5350A-B01998-GM achieves valid output clocks within 2 ms (typical) and 10 ms (max) after VDD reaches minimum operating voltage (1.71 V for 1.8 V mode), assuming CL = 5 pF and fCLKn > 1 MHz. In PLL bypass mode-where the crystal directly drives outputs-the power-up time reduces to 0.5–1 ms. These values are measured under recommended operating conditions and do not include crystal start-up delay.
