Product details
Overview
SI5351A-B06013-GT from Skyworks Solutions is an I²C-programmable, 8-output CMOS clock generator with integrated VCXO architecture, generating frequencies from 2.5 kHz to 200 MHz per output with 0 ppm synthesis error. It operates from a 25 or 27 MHz crystal reference and supports independent 1.8/2.5/3.3 V output supply rails (VDDO), enabling level translation for mixed-voltage systems such as FPGA clocking and audio/video timing.
For engineers reviewing the SI5351A-B06013-GT datasheet, SI5351A-B06013-GT pinout, SI5351A-B06013-GT application, or SI5351A-B06013-GT equivalent, this device serves as a programmable replacement for crystals, crystal oscillators, and VCXOs in cost-sensitive embedded timing applications requiring multi-frequency, low-jitter clock distribution without custom pullable crystals.
Technical Context
The SI5351A-B06013-GT implements a dual-PLL architecture with one PLL dedicated to VCXO operation and the other supporting spread-spectrum or free-running modes. Its MultiSynth fractional dividers provide independent frequency synthesis per output, enabling non-integer-related clocks across all eight outputs.
It features configurable rise/fall time control, static phase offset adjustment, glitchless frequency transitions, and separate core (VDD) and output (VDDO) supply domains-supporting simultaneous 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V output swings on different pins without external level shifters.
Key Specifications

| VDDOA–VDDOD | Output buffer supply rails | Four independent 1.8/2.5/3.3 V supplies for output banks A–D (each powers two CLK outputs) |
| VDD | Core logic supply | 2.25–3.6 V core power; must be powered before or concurrently with all VDDOx rails |
| SCL, SDA | I²C configuration interface | Supports 100/400 kbps; VDDI2C = 2.25–3.63 V; requires external pull-ups |
| OEB | Output enable (active-low) | Global enable/disable of all clock outputs; asynchronous, no glitch during transition |
| VC | VCXO control voltage input | Accepts 0–VDD tuning voltage; enables ±240 ppm pull range with high linearity (±5% error) |
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 |
| Independent output voltage rails | VDDOA–VDDOD allow simultaneous 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V CMOS outputs-enables direct interfacing with mixed-voltage FPGAs and SoCs |
| Glitchless frequency reprogramming | I²C writes update output frequencies without clock interruption-critical for live system reconfiguration and dynamic power management |
| Configurable spread spectrum | Per-output down-spread (–0.1% to –2.5%) or center-spread (±0.1% to ±1.5%) at 31.5 kHz modulation rate-reduces EMI in noise-sensitive applications |
| Static phase offset control | Programmable 333 ps/step phase alignment between any two outputs-supports precise timing skew compensation in parallel data paths |

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 | Same 20-QFN package and 8-output capability, but includes full VCXO functionality with wider tuning range (±240 ppm) and dual-PLL architecture | Required when synchronous clock locking to external voltage control or frequency margining is needed | Select SI5351A-B06013-GT for crystal-only reference designs; choose Si5351B-B-GM if VCXO tuning is mandatory |

FAQ
What is the maximum number of unique frequencies above 112.5 MHz that SI5351A-B06013-GT can generate simultaneously?
The SI5351A-B06013-GT supports up to 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 frequencies (e.g., 125 MHz on CLK0–CLK3), but no third distinct frequency >112.5 MHz is permitted. This limitation arises from internal PLL bandwidth constraints and is specified in Table 7 of the Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.3.
Does SI5351A-B06013-GT support external clock input (CLKIN) or only crystal reference?
SI5351A-B06013-GT supports crystal reference only (25 or 27 MHz on XA/XB pins) and does not support external CLKIN. The "A" variant is explicitly defined in the Skyworks ordering guide (Table 1) as XTAL-only; CLKIN capability is reserved for Si5351C variants. Attempting to drive CLKIN on SI5351A-B06013-GT will not yield functional clock synthesis.
Can SI5351A-B06013-GT generate HCSL-compatible output swing?
Yes, SI5351A-B06013-GT supports HCSL-compatible swing through programmable output drive strength and termination control. As stated in the Features section of the datasheet, it "Supports HCSL compatible swing" - achieved by configuring output impedance and DC bias via register settings to match HCSL's 17 mA current-source behavior into 50 Ω loads.
What is the guaranteed period jitter performance of SI5351A-B06013-GT under full-load conditions?
Under full-load conditions (all 8 outputs active, 20-QFN package), SI5351A-B06013-GT guarantees period jitter ≤155 ps pk-pk (max) and typically achieves <70 ps pk-pk, as specified in Table 7 of the Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.3. This measurement assumes default high-drive strength (50 Ω output impedance) and CL = 5 pF load.
Is SI5351A-B06013-GT pin-compatible with other Si5351 variants like Si5351B or Si5351C in the same 20-QFN package?
Yes, SI5351A-B06013-GT shares identical 20-QFN pinout and footprint with Si5351B and Si5351C variants (per Section 10.1–10.3 of the datasheet), including matching assignments for XA/XB, CLK0–CLK7, VDDOA–VDDOD, SCL/SDA, OEB, and VC. However, unused pins (e.g., CLKIN on Si5351A) must remain unconnected-not tied high/low-to avoid unintended behavior.
