Product details
Overview
SI5350A-B04056-GM from Skyworks Solutions is a factory-programmed, pin-controlled CMOS clock generator delivering up to 4 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-B04056-GM datasheet, SI5350A-B04056-GM pinout, SI5350A-B04056-GM application, or SI5350A-B04056-GM equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4-output 16-QFN (3×3 mm) package, dual-frequency per output capability via FS_0/FS_1 pins, independent VDD/VDDO voltage scaling (1.8/2.5/3.3 V), HCSL-compatible swing support at 2.5 V VDDO, and PLL-based architecture enabling glitchless frequency transitions.
Technical Context
The SI5350A-B04056-GM implements a dual-PLL + eight fractional MultiSynth™ architecture, where each output (CLK0–CLK3) is driven by an independent high-resolution divider. Its 16-QFN variant uses PLLA for all outputs, enabling spread spectrum on all four clocks - unlike PLLB-synchronized outputs which exclude this feature.
It supports static phase offset, rise/fall time control, and user-configurable output states (high/low/Hi-Z) via OEB_0/OEB_1 pins. Core operation relies on a fixed 25 or 27 MHz crystal (XA/XB), with internal load capacitance options (0/6/8/10 pF) eliminating external caps for standard crystals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output count | 4 independent CMOS clock outputs (CLK0–CLK3) |
| 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, worst-case config) |
| Core supply | 1.71–1.89 V / 2.25–2.75 V / 3.0–3.6 V - supports mixed-voltage system integration |
| Output supply | VDDOA/VDDOB independently set to 1.8/2.5/3.3 V - enables level translation and HCSL compatibility at 2.5 V |
| Power consumption | 21 mA typ (4 outputs enabled), 50 µA in power-down mode (PDN = high) |
| Crystal reference | 25 MHz or 27 MHz fundamental-mode AT-cut crystal - no external load caps needed for CL = 6–10 pF crystals |
Pinout & Package
SI5350A-B04056-GM is packaged in a 16-pin QFN (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are validated per Skyworks Rev. 1.2 datasheet Section 7.2 and Figure 4 (16-QFN block diagram).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P0 | Frequency Select 0 (FS_0) | Selects between F1_0/F2_0 on CLK0; logic-high enables F2_0 |
| P1 | Frequency Select 1 (FS_1) | Selects between F1_1/F2_1 on CLK1; logic-high enables F2_1 |
| P2 | Output Enable B (OEB_1) | Active-low control for CLK2 and CLK3; Hi-Z when asserted |
| P3 | Power Down (PDN) | Active-high shutdown - reduces current to 50 µA; resets configuration on wake |
| CLK0–CLK3 | CMOS clock outputs | Configurable drive strength, invert/non-invert, and disable state (Hi-Z/low/high) |
| VDDOA/VDDOB | Output buffer supplies | VDDOA powers CLK0/CLK1; VDDOB powers CLK2/CLK3 - enables mixed-voltage clock domains |
| XA/XB | Crytal oscillator inputs | Differential crystal interface; internal load caps configurable via ClockBuilder Pro |
| GND | Ground reference | Must connect exposed thermal pad to PCB ground plane for θJA = 65°C/W (4-layer board) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed frequency plan | Preconfigured at Skyworks for exact output frequencies - eliminates field programming and I²C infrastructure |
| Glitchless frequency switching | F1_x/F2_x transition on CLK0/CLK1 occurs without clock interruption - critical for video/audio sync stability |
| HCSL-compatible output swing | Configurable at 2.5 V VDDO with external 511 Ω/240 Ω termination - meets PCIe Gen 1 jitter requirements |
| Independent VDD/VDDO rails | Core logic (VDD) and output buffers (VDDOA/VDDOB) operate at different voltages - simplifies mixed-signal SoC interfacing |
| Spread spectrum per-output enable | SSEN pin disables spread spectrum globally - allows EMI testing with/without modulation on same hardware |
Applications
| Audio/Video Timing | Residential Gateway Synchronization |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: HDMI transmitter, audio codec, and video processor require precise, non-integer-related clocks (e.g., 74.25 MHz, 24.576 MHz, 48 MHz) from a single source.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5350A-B-GM1 | Same 4-output 16-QFN package and architecture; blank (unprogrammed) - requires ClockBuilder Pro configuration and I²C host | Requires external microcontroller for initialization; unsuitable for systems lacking I²C or boot-time clock dependency | Choose SI5350A-B04056-GM for plug-and-play operation; select Si5350A-B-GM1 only if field reconfiguration is required. |
| Si5351A-B-GM1 | I²C-programmable 4-output variant with identical pinout but different PLL architecture (single PLL + MultiSynth); max 160 MHz output; no FS pin support | Lacks frequency-select pins and spread spectrum on all outputs; incompatible with preprogrammed frequency plans | Use Si5351A-B-GM1 only for designs needing runtime frequency updates; SI5350A-B04056-GM is superior for fixed, optimized timing with zero boot latency. |

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed configuration of the SI5350A-B04056-GM?
The SI5350A-B04056-GM is preconfigured by Skyworks with a specific 4-output frequency plan, including exact frequencies, spread spectrum settings, output drive strengths, and pin control assignments (e.g., FS_0/FS_1 mapping). This eliminates the need for I²C programming during system boot and ensures deterministic timing behavior from power-up. The configuration is locked and cannot be modified in-circuit - all parameters are fixed per the original ClockBuilder Pro design used to generate the part number.
Does the SI5350A-B04056-GM support HCSL-compatible outputs?
Yes, the SI5350A-B04056-GM supports HCSL-compatible swing on CLK0/CLK1 (when VDDOA = 2.5 V) and CLK2/CLK3 (when VDDOB = 2.5 V), provided external 511 Ω and 240 Ω termination resistors are used per Figure 3 in the datasheet. This configuration meets PCIe Gen 1 jitter and amplitude requirements. HCSL mode is only supported in the 10-MSOP and 20-QFN packages - the 16-QFN package (used by SI5350A-B04056-GM) supports HCSL via proper termination and voltage setup.
What crystal frequency does the SI5350A-B04056-GM require?
The SI5350A-B04056-GM requires a single 25 MHz or 27 MHz fundamental-mode AT-cut crystal connected across XA and XB pins. Internal load capacitance options (0, 6, 8, or 10 pF) are selectable via ClockBuilder Pro during programming; crystals with 6–10 pF load requirements need no external capacitors. For 12 pF crystals, ≤2 pF total external capacitance (e.g., 4 pF on each pin) must be added - verified in the final SI5350A-B04056-GM configuration.
Can the SI5350A-B04056-GM generate two different frequencies on the same output pin?
Yes - the SI5350A-B04056-GM supports dual-frequency operation on CLK0 and CLK1 using the FS_0 and FS_1 pins respectively. When FS_0 is low, CLK0 outputs F1_0; when high, it outputs F2_0. This feature is factory-programmed and hardware-controlled, enabling glitchless transitions without software or I²C intervention. CLK2 and CLK3 do not support frequency select in the 16-QFN package.
What is the maximum number of frequencies above 112.5 MHz the SI5350A-B04056-GM can output simultaneously?
The SI5350A-B04056-GM can output no more than two unique frequencies above 112.5 MHz at the same time - for example, 125 MHz on CLK0 and 130 MHz on CLK1 is valid, but adding 150 MHz on CLK2 violates the specification. However, duplicate frequencies above 112.5 MHz are permitted: 125 MHz may appear on all four outputs (CLK0–CLK3) while still complying with the "two unique" rule.
