Product details
Overview
SI5351A-B06148-GT from Skyworks Solutions is an I²C-programmable, 8-output CMOS clock generator with integrated VCXO, generating free-running frequencies from 2.5 kHz to 200 MHz per output with 0 ppm synthesis error. It replaces crystals, crystal oscillators, and discrete VCXOs in cost-sensitive embedded timing applications using a single 25 or 27 MHz AT-cut crystal reference.
For engineers reviewing the SI5351A-B06148-GT datasheet, SI5351A-B06148-GT pinout, SI5351A-B06148-GT application, or SI5351A-B06148-GT equivalent, key selection considerations include its 20-QFN (4×4 mm) package, 8 independent CMOS outputs with programmable VDDO (1.8/2.5/3.3 V), <70 ps pk-pk period jitter, and I²C-configurable spread spectrum on each output.
Technical Context
The SI5351A-B06148-GT implements a dual-PLL architecture with PLL A (SSC-capable) and PLL B (VCXO-enabled), both driven by a shared 25/27 MHz crystal oscillator. Its eight high-resolution MultiSynth fractional dividers operate independently, enabling non-integer-related output frequencies up to 200 MHz.
Each output supports configurable rise/fall time, static phase offset, glitchless frequency changes, and separate VDDO supply pins for level translation. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C with core VDD at 2.5 V or 3.3 V and output buffers powered at 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Outputs | 8 independent CMOS clock outputs (CLK0–CLK7) |
| Frequency Range | 2.5 kHz to 200 MHz per output; only two unique frequencies >112.5 MHz simultaneously |
| Frequency Accuracy | 0 ppm synthesis error - eliminates calibration and trim components |
| Output Jitter | <70 ps pk-pk period jitter (all outputs active, worst-case real-world config) |
| Supply Voltages | Core VDD: 2.5 V or 3.3 V; Output VDDO: 1.8 V / 2.5 V / 3.3 V (per bank) |
| I²C Interface | Standard/Fast Mode (100/400 kbps); supports address pin A0 for dual-device bus sharing |
| Crystal Reference | 25 MHz or 27 MHz AT-cut crystal; internal load capacitance selectable (0/6/8/10 pF) |
Pinout & Package
SI5351A-B06148-GT is housed in a 20-pin QFN package (4 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are defined per Skyworks Si5351A 20-pin QFN specification (Rev. 1.3, Section 10.1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| XA, XB | Crytal oscillator inputs | Connect 25/27 MHz AT-cut crystal; internal load caps eliminate external CL in most cases |
| SCL, SDA, A0 | I²C interface and address select | A0 sets LSB of I²C address (0x60 or 0x61); enables dual-device configuration on same bus |
| OEB | Output enable (active-low) | Global hardware disable of all clock outputs; low-latency (<10 µs) enable/disable control |
| VDD, VDDOA–VDDOD | Power supply rails | VDD = core logic; VDDOA–D power four independent output banks (2 outputs each) |
| CLK0–CLK7 | CMOS clock outputs | Eight buffered, level-translatable outputs; each supports programmable drive strength and slew rate |
| GND, EPAD | Ground and thermal pad | EPAD must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 8-output any-frequency synthesis | Generates up to eight independent, non-integer-related clocks (2.5 kHz–200 MHz) from one crystal reference |
| I²C programmability | Full register-level configuration via standard I²C bus; no external programming hardware required |
| VCXO integration | On-chip voltage-controlled crystal oscillator enables ±240 ppm pull range without external varactor or custom crystal |
| Per-output spread spectrum | Configurable down-spread (–0.1% to –2.5%) or center-spread (±0.1% to ±1.5%) reduces EMI at individual clock domains |
| Glitchless frequency switching | Hardware-assisted reconfiguration ensures zero-cycle glitches during dynamic clock updates |
| Multi-voltage output banks | Four independent VDDO supplies allow mixed-voltage system interfacing (e.g., 1.8 V FPGA + 3.3 V MCU) |

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 with ±240 ppm pull range; SI5351A-B06148-GT lacks VC tuning capability | Required where system-level frequency adjustment (e.g., network synchronization) is needed | Select SI5351B-B-GM if VCXO functionality is mandatory; otherwise SI5351A-B06148-GT offers lower cost and identical 8-output synthesis |
| Si5351C-B-GM | Accepts external CLKIN (10–100 MHz); SI5351A-B06148-GT uses crystal-only reference | Required when synchronizing to an existing system clock rather than using a local crystal | Choose Si5351C-B-GM for synchronous clock distribution; SI5351A-B06148-GT is optimal for standalone, crystal-based timing |
Compared with SI5351B-B-GM and SI5351C-B-GM, SI5351A-B06148-GT provides identical 8-output CMOS clock generation and I²C programmability but omits VCXO tuning and external clock input-making it the lowest-cost solution for fixed-frequency, crystal-referenced designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of unique output frequencies above 112.5 MHz supported by the SI5351A-B06148-GT?
The SI5351A-B06148-GT supports only two unique frequencies above 112.5 MHz simultaneously across its eight outputs. For example, 125 MHz and 130 MHz may be assigned to different CLK pins, but a third distinct frequency >112.5 MHz (e.g., 150 MHz) cannot be generated concurrently. This limitation arises from internal PLL bandwidth constraints and is specified in Skyworks' Si5351A/B/C-B datasheet Table 7 note 1.
Does the SI5351A-B06148-GT support spread spectrum clocking on all eight outputs?
Yes, the SI5351A-B06148-GT supports independent spread spectrum clocking (SSC) on each of its eight outputs. Each output can be configured for down-spread (–0.1% to –2.5%) or center-spread (±0.1% to ±1.5%) modulation at 30–33 kHz, reducing EMI emissions per clock domain without affecting other outputs. This capability is enabled via dedicated SSC control bits in the MultiSynth configuration registers.
What crystal specifications are required for reliable operation of the SI5351A-B06148-GT?
The SI5351A-B06148-GT requires a 25 MHz or 27 MHz fundamental-mode AT-cut crystal with load capacitance of 6–12 pF, ESR ≤150 Ω, and drive level ≤100 µW. Internal load capacitance (0/6/8/10 pF) is selectable via register 183; crystals needing 12 pF load may use ≤2 pF external capacitors. These values are validated in Skyworks AN551 and Table 8 of the Si5351A/B/C-B datasheet.
Can the SI5351A-B06148-GT generate a 32.768 kHz clock for real-time clock (RTC) backup?
Yes, the SI5351A-B06148-GT can generate 32.768 kHz using its integer division capability at the output stage. Though not a low-power RTC oscillator, it delivers this frequency with <70 ps pk-pk jitter and full I²C configurability-suitable for system-level timekeeping where precision and flexibility outweigh ultra-low power requirements.
Is the SI5351A-B06148-GT pin-compatible with other Si5351 variants like the Si5351B or Si5351C?
Yes, the SI5351A-B06148-GT in the 20-QFN package shares identical pinout and footprint with Si5351B-B-GM and Si5351C-B-GM. All three variants use the same 20-pin QFN mechanical outline and register map; functional differences (VCXO, CLKIN support) are implemented internally and do not affect PCB layout or I/O routing.
