Product details
Overview
SI5350A-B04942-GMR from Skyworks Solutions is a factory-programmed, pin-controlled CMOS clock generator with 3 outputs in 10-MSOP package, generating frequencies from 2.5 kHz to 200 MHz with 0 ppm synthesis error, <70 ps pk-pk period jitter (typ), and spread spectrum support on any output - deployed in HDMI video processors, USB controllers, and Ethernet PHYs.
For engineers reviewing the SI5350A-B04942-GMR datasheet, SI5350A-B04942-GMR pinout, SI5350A-B04942-GMR application, or SI5350A-B04942-GMR equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 25/27 MHz crystal reference, independent VDD/VDDO voltage scaling (1.8/2.5/3.3 V), glitchless dual-frequency switching via FS pins, HCSL-compatible swing capability at 2.5 V VDDO, and PCIE Gen 1 compliance.
Technical Context
The SI5350A-B04942-GMR implements a dual-PLL + eight fractional MultiSynth architecture, where PLLA drives spread-spectrum-capable outputs and PLLB supports non-spread-spectrum clocks. Its 3-output 10-MSOP variant uses MultiSynth 0–2 with frequency-selectable F1_x/F2_x modes on CLK0–CLK2.
It operates from a single 25 MHz or 27 MHz fundamental-mode AT-cut crystal (no external load caps required for 6–10 pF CL), supports static phase offset, rise/fall time control, and features separate core (VDD) and output (VDDOA/VDDOB/VDDOC) supply rails for level translation and PSRR optimization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output count | 3 independent CMOS clock outputs (CLK0–CLK2) |
| 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 (typ), measured across 10k cycles at default 50 Ω drive strength |
| 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/VDDOC independently configurable at 1.71–1.89 V / 2.25–2.75 V / 3.0–3.6 V |
| Crystal reference | 25 MHz or 27 MHz fixed-frequency AT-cut crystal; internal 0/6/8/10 pF load capacitance selectable |
| Spread spectrum | Selectable per-output down-spread (–0.1% to –2.5%) or center-spread (±0.1% to ±1.5%) at 30–33 kHz modulation rate |
Pinout & Package
SI5350A-B04942-GMR is housed in a 10-pin MSOP package (3.0 × 4.9 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are validated per Skyworks Rev. 1.2 datasheet Section 7.3 and Figure 4 (10-MSOP block diagram).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Core power supply | Supplies 1.8/2.5/3.3 V core logic; must be powered before or concurrently with VDDOx |
| VDDOA | CLK0 output buffer supply | Configures CLK0 swing and drive strength; enables HCSL compatibility when set to 2.5 V |
| VDDOB | CLK1 output buffer supply | Independent voltage rail for CLK1; allows mixed-swing operation across outputs |
| VDDOC | CLK2 output buffer supply | Enables level translation for CLK2; decouples noise from other output domains |
| CLK0–CLK2 | CMOS clock outputs | Programmable frequencies up to 200 MHz; support invert/non-invert, high-Z/low/high disable states |
| XA/XB | Crystal oscillator inputs | Differential crystal connection; accepts 25 or 27 MHz AT-cut crystals with internal load cap options |
| P0/P1 | Frequency select inputs | Glitchless dual-frequency switching on CLK0/CLK1/CLK2 (F1_x/F2_x); logic-level controlled |
| P2 | Output enable (OEB_0) | Active-low control for CLK0; configurable disable state (high, low, or high-Z) |
| P3 | Output enable (OEB_1) | Active-low control for CLK1; independent from OEB_0 and OEB_2 |
| P4 | Power down (PDN) | Active-high global shutdown; reduces core current to ≤50 µA in power-down mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed configuration | Delivers exact pre-defined frequencies without I²C interface or runtime programming overhead |
| Glitchless frequency switching | Zero-cycle disruption during F1_x ↔ F2_x transitions on CLK0–CLK2 using P0/P1 control |
| HCSL-compatible output swing | Enabled by setting VDDOA/VDDOB/VDDOC = 2.5 V and applying external 511 Ω/240 Ω termination per output pair |
| Independent output supply rails | VDDOA/VDDOB/VDDOC allow mixed-voltage clocking (e.g., 1.8 V CPU + 3.3 V peripheral clocks) |
| Low-power operation | 20–30 mA typical core current with 3 outputs enabled; ≤50 µA in PDN mode |
| PCIE Gen 1 compliance | Meets jitter and timing requirements for PCIe root complex and endpoint clocking applications |

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-GT | Blank (unprogrammed) 10-MSOP variant requiring ClockBuilder Pro configuration and I²C programming post-solder | Used in prototyping or low-volume designs needing field reconfiguration; lacks factory-set frequency stability | Select SI5350A-B-GT only if runtime frequency updates or multi-design reuse are required |
| Si5351A-B-GM1 | I²C-programmable 4-output QFN variant with XTAL-only reference; supports higher output count but no pin-control features (FS/PDN/SSEN) | Suitable for systems requiring >3 outputs or dynamic clock reprogramming; not drop-in compatible due to different pinout and control scheme | Choose Si5351A-B-GM1 when design flexibility outweighs production simplicity and pin-strapped operation |
Compared with SI5350A-B-GT and Si5351A-B-GM1, the SI5350A-B04942-GMR delivers production-ready timing with zero firmware dependency, deterministic pin-controlled behavior, and optimized jitter performance for cost-sensitive consumer electronics - at the expense of field programmability and output count scalability.

FAQ
What crystal frequency does the SI5350A-B04942-GMR require?
The SI5350A-B04942-GMR requires a 25 MHz or 27 MHz fundamental-mode AT-cut crystal connected to XA/XB pins. Internal load capacitance options (0/6/8/10 pF) eliminate need for external caps in most cases; Skyworks AN551 provides crystal selection guidance. The SI5350A-B04942-GMR is not compatible with TCXOs, VCXOs, or clock inputs - only fixed-frequency crystals.
Does the SI5350A-B04942-GMR support HCSL output levels?
Yes, the SI5350A-B04942-GMR supports HCSL-compatible swing when VDDOA/VDDOB/VDDOC is set to 2.5 V and external 511 Ω pull-down + 240 Ω termination is applied per output pair (per Figure 3 in datasheet Rev. 1.2). This capability is confirmed for the 10-MSOP package and requires inverted complementary clock generation for true differential signaling.
How many frequencies can the SI5350A-B04942-GMR generate simultaneously above 112.5 MHz?
The SI5350A-B04942-GMR supports only two unique frequencies above 112.5 MHz simultaneously - for example, 125 MHz on CLK0 and 130 MHz on CLK1 is valid, but adding 150 MHz on CLK2 violates the specification. Multiple instances of the same high-frequency (e.g., 125 MHz on all three outputs) are permitted without restriction.
What is the power-down current consumption of the SI5350A-B04942-GMR?
In power-down mode (PDN = high), the SI5350A-B04942-GMR draws ≤50 µA total current, as specified in Table 4 of the datasheet. This ultra-low standby current enables energy-efficient operation in battery-backed or always-on consumer devices without compromising fast wake-up (<1 ms) via PDN deassertion.
Can the SI5350A-B04942-GMR replace a 74.25 MHz crystal oscillator in an HDMI design?
Yes - the SI5350A-B04942-GMR is factory-programmed to deliver exact 74.25 MHz on CLK0 (or another designated output) with 0 ppm error and <70 ps pk-pk period jitter, meeting HDMI pixel clock requirements. It also supports simultaneous generation of related clocks (e.g., 24.576 MHz audio, 27 MHz TMDS) from a single 25/27 MHz crystal, reducing component count versus discrete XOs.
