Product details
Overview
SI5351C-B04070-GMR from Skyworks Solutions is an I²C-programmable 4-output CMOS clock generator with external reference (CLKIN) synchronization capability, 2.5 kHz–200 MHz output frequency range, <70 ps pk-pk period jitter, and independent 1.8/2.5/3.3 V output supply rails. It replaces crystals, crystal oscillators, and VCXOs in residential gateways and networking equipment.
For engineers reviewing the SI5351C-B04070-GMR datasheet, SI5351C-B04070-GMR pinout, SI5351C-B04070-GMR application, or SI5351C-B04070-GMR equivalent, key selection criteria include CLKIN synchronization support, 4-output QFN-16 package, VCXO-free operation, spread spectrum programmability per output, and HCSL-compatible swing capability.
Technical Context
The SI5351C-B04070-GMR implements a dual-PLL architecture where PLLA and PLLB accept either an internal 25/27 MHz crystal or an external 10–100 MHz CLKIN reference. Its eight MultiSynth fractional dividers enable independent frequency synthesis on each output with 0 ppm error.
It supports static phase offset control, glitchless frequency transitions, and configurable rise/fall times. Output buffers are powered by separate VDDOx rails (1.8/2.5/3.3 V), enabling level translation across mixed-voltage systems without external logic.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock generation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI5351B-B-GM1 | Includes internal VCXO; no CLKIN pin; uses VC pin for tuning | Requires voltage-controlled tuning; unsuitable for CLKIN-synchronized designs | Select when system needs frequency pulling over temperature/voltage without external reference |

FAQ
What reference sources does the SI5351C-B04070-GMR support?
The SI5351C-B04070-GMR supports two reference sources: a 25 MHz or 27 MHz fundamental-mode AT-cut crystal connected to XA/XB pins, or an external 10–100 MHz single-ended clock applied to the CLKIN pin. Unlike Si5351A/B variants, it does not use the VC pin and cannot operate as a VCXO. The device automatically detects and locks to the active reference during power-up.
How many outputs does the SI5351C-B04070-GMR provide, and what are their voltage capabilities?
The SI5351C-B04070-GMR provides four CMOS clock outputs (CLK0–CLK3) in a 16-QFN package. Outputs CLK0/CLK1 share VDDOA, and CLK2/CLK3 share VDDOB-each rail supports independent selection of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V. This allows mixed-voltage clocking (e.g., 1.8 V for FPGA I/O banks and 3.3 V for legacy peripherals) without external level shifters.
Does the SI5351C-B04070-GMR support spread spectrum clocking, and how is it configured?
Yes, the SI5351C-B04070-GMR supports per-output spread spectrum clocking with down-spread (–0.1% to –2.5%) or center-spread (±0.1% to ±1.5%) modes at a fixed 31.5 kHz modulation rate. Configuration is done via I²C register writes to the Spread Spectrum Enable and Deviation registers for each MultiSynth divider. No hardware changes are required-only firmware initialization.
What is the typical period jitter performance of the SI5351C-B04070-GMR at 156.25 MHz?
At 156.25 MHz, the SI5351C-B04070-GMR achieves typical period jitter of 40–70 ps pk-pk (measured over 10,000 cycles, CL = 5 pF, default high-drive mode). Performance depends on configuration: using CLKIN reference yields lower jitter than crystal-only mode, and enabling spread spectrum adds <5 ps jitter but reduces EMI. Measured worst-case across all outputs is 70 ps pk-pk.
Can the SI5351C-B04070-GMR generate frequencies below 1 MHz, and what is the lowest supported frequency?
Yes, the SI5351C-B04070-GMR supports frequencies as low as 2.5 kHz on any output. This is achieved through integer division stages following the MultiSynth fractional dividers. Low-frequency generation requires appropriate register configuration (e.g., setting R-divider values) and is fully supported in ClockBuilder Pro software. Frequencies below 100 kHz are commonly used for watchdog timers, PWM carriers, or microcontroller peripherals.
