Product details
Overview
SI5351A-B05928-GT from Skyworks Solutions is an I²C-programmable 8-output CMOS clock generator with integrated VCXO, generating free-running and synchronous clocks from 2.5 kHz to 200 MHz per output with 0 ppm frequency error. It replaces crystals, crystal oscillators, and discrete VCXOs in cost-sensitive embedded timing applications using a single 25 or 27 MHz crystal reference.
For engineers reviewing the SI5351A-B05928-GT datasheet, SI5351A-B05928-GT pinout, SI5351A-B05928-GT application, or SI5351A-B05928-GT equivalent, key selection considerations include its 20-QFN package, 8 independent CMOS outputs with programmable rise/fall time and static phase offset, VCXO tuning range (±240 ppm at 3.3 V), and support for spread spectrum on each output.
Technical Context
The SI5351A-B05928-GT implements a dual-PLL architecture with PLL A (SSC-capable) and PLL B (VCXO-based), feeding eight independent MultiSynth fractional dividers. Each output supports configurable drive strength, voltage level (1.8/2.5/3.3 V), and spread-spectrum modulation (down-spread up to –2.5% or center-spread ±1.5%).
It accepts only a fixed-frequency crystal (25 or 27 MHz) at XA/XB pins-no CLKIN or external VC input-making it functionally identical to the Si5351A variant. Its VCXO functionality is disabled; all outputs are free-running with zero ppm synthesis error relative to the crystal reference.
Key Specifications

| VDD, VDDOA–VDDOD | Power supply rails | VDD = core logic; VDDOA–D = independent output banks (1.8/2.5/3.3 V) |
| CLK0–CLK7 | CMOS clock outputs | Eight fully independent outputs; each supports rise/fall time control and static phase offset |
| GND, EPAD | Ground and thermal pad | EPAD must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity |
Key Features

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 | Same Si5351A die, 20-QFN package, factory-unprogrammed; requires external I²C configuration at power-up | No preloaded frequency plan; design flexibility for custom clock trees but requires firmware initialization | Select SI5351A-B05928-GT when factory-programmed 8-output configuration is required out-of-box |
| Si5351B-B-GM | Includes functional VCXO (VC pin active); supports voltage-controlled tuning ±240 ppm at 3.3 V | Enables synchronization to external control loops (e.g., PLL lock to network clock); SI5351A-B05928-GT lacks VC pin functionality | Choose SI5351B-B-GM only if voltage-controlled frequency adjustment is required; SI5351A-B05928-GT is strictly free-running |
Compared with Si5351A-B-GM, SI5351A-B05928-GT delivers immediate operation with preconfigured frequencies, reducing firmware boot dependency; compared with Si5351B-B-GM, it omits VCXO capability but achieves lower jitter stability by eliminating analog tuning path noise coupling.

FAQ
What is the exact crystal frequency requirement for SI5351A-B05928-GT?
The SI5351A-B05928-GT requires a 25 MHz or 27 MHz fundamental-mode AT-cut crystal connected to XA/XB pins. Internal load capacitance is configurable (0/6/8/10 pF); crystals with 12 pF load requirement need ≤2 pF external capacitance added. No other crystal frequencies are supported.
Does SI5351A-B05928-GT support external clock input (CLKIN) or VC tuning?
No. SI5351A-B05928-GT is a Si5351A variant and uses only the internal crystal oscillator (XTAL) as its timing reference. CLKIN and VC pins are not functional; the device operates exclusively in free-running mode with zero ppm synthesis error relative to the crystal.
How many unique high-frequency outputs can SI5351A-B05928-GT generate above 112.5 MHz?
SI5351A-B05928-GT supports exactly two unique frequencies above 112.5 MHz simultaneously (e.g., 125 MHz on CLK0 and 130 MHz on CLK1). Additional outputs above 112.5 MHz must duplicate one of those two frequencies; attempting three distinct frequencies >112.5 MHz will result in undefined behavior.
What is the maximum allowable load capacitance per SI5351A-B05928-GT output?
The SI5351A-B05928-GT specifies a maximum load capacitance of 15 pF per output (CLK0–CLK7). For optimal jitter performance, Skyworks recommends CL ≤ 5 pF; higher capacitance increases rise/fall times and degrades period jitter (typical 70 ps pk-pk rises toward 155 ps pk-pk at full load).
Can SI5351A-B05928-GT outputs operate at different voltage levels simultaneously?
Yes. SI5351A-B05928-GT has four independent output voltage rails: VDDOA (CLK0/CLK1), VDDOB (CLK2/CLK3), VDDOC (CLK4/CLK5), and VDDOD (CLK6/CLK7). Each can be set to 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V, enabling direct interfacing with mixed-voltage SoCs, FPGAs, and PHYs without level shifters.
