Product details
Overview
SI5351A-B03477-GT from Skyworks Solutions is an I²C-programmable, 8-output CMOS clock generator with integrated VCXO, designed to replace crystals, crystal oscillators, and discrete PLLs in cost-sensitive embedded systems. It delivers up to eight independent, non-integer-related frequencies from 2.5 kHz to 200 MHz with 0 ppm synthesis error, operates from a 25 or 27 MHz crystal, and supports 1.8/2.5/3.3 V output voltage levels per bank for mixed-signal timing in audio/video and networking equipment.
For engineers reviewing the SI5351A-B03477-GT datasheet, SI5351A-B03477-GT pinout, SI5351A-B03477-GT application, or SI5351A-B03477-GT equivalent, this device offers verified I²C configurability, sub-100 ps peak-to-peak period jitter (typ. 40 ps), programmable rise/fall time, glitchless frequency switching, and static phase offset control - all critical for multi-domain clocking in PCIe Gen 1–compatible systems and HCSL-compatible interfaces.
Technical Context
The SI5351A-B03477-GT implements a dual-PLL architecture: PLL A accepts either the internal 25/27 MHz crystal oscillator or an external 10–100 MHz CLKIN reference, while PLL B functions as a highly linear VCXO with configurable pull range (±30 to ±240 ppm) and gain (18–150 ppm/V). Each PLL feeds eight independent MultiSynth fractional dividers, enabling precise, non-integer frequency synthesis per output.
Its input stage supports crystal-only operation (no CLKIN or VC required), and its output stage provides separate VDDO pins (VDDOA–VDDOD) for per-bank voltage translation (1.8/2.5/3.3 V), configurable drive strength, spread spectrum (±0.1% to ±1.5%), and adjustable output delay - all managed via I²C register writes without requiring external components.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 0 ppm frequency synthesis error | Exact integer and fractional frequency generation per output using MultiSynth dividers - eliminates need for multiple fixed-frequency crystals |
| Per-bank output voltage control | Four independent VDDO pins (VDDOA–VDDOD) allow simultaneous 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V CMOS outputs on same device for mixed-voltage SoC interfacing |
| Glitchless frequency reconfiguration | I²C writes update clock parameters without output interruption - essential for dynamic clock scaling in industrial controllers and gateways |
| Configurable spread spectrum | Down-spread (–0.1% to –2.5%) or center-spread (±0.1% to ±1.5%) per output - reduces EMI in dense PCB layouts without affecting timing margins |
| Static phase offset control | 333 ps/step resolution enables deterministic inter-output skew alignment - critical for DDR clocking and video pixel clock synchronization |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5351B-B-GM | Includes VCXO functionality (tunable via VC pin); same 8-output 20-QFN package and pinout | Required when system needs voltage-controlled frequency adjustment (e.g., lock to external control loop) | Select SI5351A-B03477-GT for crystal-only, fixed-frequency applications; choose Si5351B-B-GM only if VCXO tuning is mandatory |
| Si5351C-B-GM | Accepts external CLKIN (10–100 MHz); no VC pin; otherwise identical architecture and package | Used when design already includes a high-stability system reference clock (e.g., oven-controlled XO) | SI5351A-B03477-GT is optimal for standalone crystal-based timing; Si5351C-B-GM suits designs with existing precision reference sources |
Compared with Si5351B-B-GM and Si5351C-B-GM, SI5351A-B03477-GT provides lowest-cost, minimal-component clock generation where neither voltage tuning nor external reference synchronization is needed - reducing bill-of-materials and simplifying firmware initialization.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of unique frequencies above 112.5 MHz that SI5351A-B03477-GT can generate simultaneously?
The SI5351A-B03477-GT supports exactly 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 replicate those two frequencies (e.g., 125 MHz on CLK0–CLK3), but no third distinct frequency >112.5 MHz is permitted per Skyworks datasheet Table 7 note.
Does SI5351A-B03477-GT require external load capacitors for the 25 MHz crystal?
No - SI5351A-B03477-GT includes programmable internal load capacitance (0, 6, 8, or 10 pF) optimized for standard 25/27 MHz AT-cut crystals. External capacitors are only needed if the crystal specifies >10 pF load (e.g., 12 pF), in which case ≤2 pF total external capacitance (e.g., 4 pF split across XA/XB) is added per Skyworks AN551 guidelines.
Can SI5351A-B03477-GT generate HCSL-compatible output swings?
Yes - SI5351A-B03477-GT supports HCSL-compatible swing through programmable output drive strength and termination. When configured with 50 Ω output impedance and appropriate VDDO (e.g., 1.8 V), it meets HCSL voltage thresholds (VOH ≥ 0.75 V, VOL ≤ 0.25 V) and edge rate requirements per PCIe Gen 1 specifications.
Is the VC pin used in SI5351A-B03477-GT?
No - SI5351A-B03477-GT is the Si5351A variant, which lacks VCXO functionality. The VC pin is not bonded and must be left unconnected or tied to GND per Skyworks datasheet Section 10.1. Only Si5351B and Si5351C variants utilize the VC pin.
What is the power-up time for SI5351A-B03477-GT after VDD stabilization?
SI5351A-B03477-GT achieves valid clock output within 2 ms (typical) and 10 ms (maximum) after VDD reaches VDDmin, per Table 5 "Power-up Time" in the Skyworks datasheet. In PLL bypass mode (crystal directly driving outputs), startup time reduces to 0.5–1 ms.
