Product details
Overview
SI5351A-B05000-GM from Skyworks Solutions is an I²C-programmable, 8-output CMOS clock generator with integrated crystal oscillator and fractional MultiSynth architecture, delivering exact-frequency synthesis from 2.5 kHz to 200 MHz per output with 0 ppm error. It operates from a 25 or 27 MHz fundamental-mode AT-cut crystal, supports independent 1.8/2.5/3.3 V output supply rails, and targets cost-sensitive embedded timing replacement in networking and audio/video systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI5351A-B05000-GM datasheet, SI5351A-B05000-GM pinout, SI5351A-B05000-GM application, or SI5351A-B05000-GM equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-output 20-QFN package, VCXO-free Si5351A variant identity, guaranteed <70 ps pk-pk period jitter across all outputs, and factory-programmed configuration for immediate deployment without I²C initialization.
Technical Context
The SI5351A-B05000-GM implements a dual-PLL architecture with one PLL (PLLA) driven exclusively by the internal 25/27 MHz crystal oscillator - no CLKIN or VC input support. Its eight high-resolution MultiSynth fractional dividers each accept the PLLA output and generate independent frequencies up to 200 MHz, with static phase offset control and glitchless frequency transitions.
All eight outputs are CMOS-compatible, configurable for rise/fall time and spread spectrum (±0.1% to ±1.5%), and powered by separate VDDO pins enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing. The device lacks VCXO functionality and external reference input, distinguishing it from Si5351B/C variants.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SI5351A-B05000-GM in a system design?
The SI5351A-B05000-GM serves as an 8-output, I²C-programmable CMOS clock generator that replaces multiple discrete crystals and oscillators. It synthesizes exact frequencies from 2.5 kHz to 200 MHz per output using a single 25 or 27 MHz crystal reference. Unlike Si5351B/C variants, the SI5351A-B05000-GM omits VCXO and CLKIN inputs - its factory-programmed configuration enables immediate clock output upon power-up without host intervention, making it ideal for boot-critical and I²C-less applications.
Does the SI5351A-B05000-GM support external reference clock input (CLKIN) or voltage-controlled tuning (VC)?
No, the SI5351A-B05000-GM does not support external CLKIN or VC inputs. As a member of the Si5351A variant family, it relies solely on the internal 25 or 27 MHz crystal oscillator (connected to XA/XB pins) as its timing reference. This distinguishes it from Si5351B (adds VCXO) and Si5351C (adds CLKIN) variants. All configuration is factory-programmed into nonvolatile memory, and no runtime tuning capability exists - the device delivers fixed, pre-defined clock outputs on power-up.
What package type and pin count does the SI5351A-B05000-GM use?
The SI5351A-B05000-GM uses a 20-pin QFN package measuring 4 mm × 4 mm with 0.5 mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad (EPAD). This matches the Si5351A 20-pin QFN footprint defined in Skyworks Document Si5351A/B/C-B Rev. 1.3, Section 10.1. The package supports 8 independent CMOS outputs (CLK0–CLK7), four dedicated output supply rails (VDDOA–VDDOD), and standard I²C interface pins (SCL/SDA), with OEB for global output enable/disable control.
How does the SI5351A-B05000-GM achieve 0 ppm frequency error across its outputs?
The SI5351A-B05000-GM achieves 0 ppm frequency error by using a high-resolution fractional MultiSynth divider architecture fed by a stable 25 or 27 MHz crystal reference. Each output's frequency is calculated as fOUT = fXTAL × (a + b/c), where a, b, and c are programmable integer values. Because the synthesis is digital and deterministic - with no analog VCO drift or PPM-based trimming - the resulting output frequencies are mathematically exact multiples or fractions of the crystal frequency, eliminating cumulative error across all eight outputs of the SI5351A-B05000-GM.
Can the SI5351A-B05000-GM generate spread spectrum clocking (SSC) on individual outputs?
Yes, the SI5351A-B05000-GM supports per-output spread spectrum clocking with selectable down-spread (–0.1% to –2.5%) or center-spread (±0.1% to ±1.5%) modulation at a fixed 31.5 kHz rate. This feature is enabled independently for each of the eight outputs via factory-programmed register settings. SSC reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) peak emissions without affecting functional timing margins - a key advantage in dense PCB layouts for audio/video and networking equipment using the SI5351A-B05000-GM.
