Product details
Overview
SI5351A-B06527-GM from Skyworks Solutions is an I²C-programmable, 8-output CMOS clock generator with integrated crystal oscillator (no external VCXO), supporting frequencies from 2.5 kHz to 200 MHz per output, 0 ppm synthesis error, and independent 1.8/2.5/3.3 V output supply rails. It replaces crystals, crystal oscillators, and fanout buffers in audio/video equipment and residential gateways.
For engineers reviewing the SI5351A-B06527-GM datasheet, SI5351A-B06527-GM pinout, SI5351A-B06527-GM application, or SI5351A-B06527-GM equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-QFN-20 package, 8 free-running outputs, 25/27 MHz crystal reference requirement, <70 ps pk-pk period jitter, and absence of VCXO tuning capability compared to Si5351B variants.
Technical Context
The SI5351A-B06527-GM implements a dual-PLL architecture with one PLL (PLLA) driven by a 25 or 27 MHz crystal via XA/XB pins and no VCXO path. Its eight MultiSynth fractional dividers operate independently, enabling non-integer-related output frequencies up to 200 MHz with exact synthesis and static phase offset control.
It supports I²C configuration (100/400 kbps), programmable rise/fall times, spread spectrum on each output (±0.1–±1.5% deviation at 31.5 kHz), and glitchless frequency changes. Core VDD is 2.5/3.3 V; each output bank (VDDOA–VDDOD) is independently configurable for 1.8/2.5/3.3 V logic levels.

FAQ
What is the reference clock requirement for SI5351A-B06527-GM?
The SI5351A-B06527-GM requires a 25 MHz or 27 MHz fundamental-mode AT-cut crystal connected to XA and XB pins. It does not accept external CLKIN or VC signals. Internal load capacitance (0/6/8/10 pF) can be configured via register 183 to match crystal specifications, eliminating need for external load capacitors in most cases.
Does SI5351A-B06527-GM support VCXO functionality?
No, SI5351A-B06527-GM does not support VCXO functionality. It is the Si5351A variant, which contains only an internal crystal oscillator and lacks the VC pin and associated VCXO circuitry found in Si5351B devices. Frequency tuning must be performed exclusively via I²C register writes - no analog voltage control is possible.
What is the maximum number of unique high-frequency outputs supported by SI5351A-B06527-GM?
The SI5351A-B06527-GM supports up to two unique output 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 - this limitation arises from internal PLL bandwidth and divider resource constraints.
How is power supply sequencing handled for SI5351A-B06527-GM?
For SI5351A-B06527-GM, all VDDOx supply rails (VDDOA–VDDOD) must be powered up either before or at the same time as the core VDD supply. Violating this sequencing may cause undefined output behavior or increased startup time. The device draws 27 mA typical with all 8 outputs enabled at 3.3 V, and PSRR performance eliminates need for external power supply filtering.
Can SI5351A-B06527-GM generate spread spectrum clocking on individual outputs?
Yes, SI5351A-B06527-GM supports independent spread spectrum clocking (SSC) on each of its eight outputs. SSC deviation is selectable in 0.1% steps from ±0.1% to ±1.5%, with modulation rate fixed at 31.5 kHz. This feature reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) for specific subsystems without affecting other clock domains - critical for FCC/CE compliance in compact consumer devices.
