Product details
Overview
SI5392E-A-GMR from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-input, 2-output ultra-low-jitter clock multiplier and jitter attenuator with integrated crystal reference, delivering 71 fs RMS phase jitter (Grade E), programmable DSPLL loop bandwidth (fixed at 100 Hz for Grade E), and support for hitless switching in 56G PAM4 SerDes clocking applications.
For engineers reviewing the SI5392E-A-GMR datasheet, SI5392E-A-GMR pinout, SI5392E-A-GMR application, or SI5392E-A-GMR equivalent, this device serves as a precision timing solution for SyncE-compliant networking line cards, OTN transponders, and medical imaging systems requiring stable holdover performance and frequency-on-the-fly reconfiguration.
Technical Context
The SI5392E-A-GMR implements fourth-generation DSPLL® architecture with Multi-Synth™ fractional synthesis to enable any-frequency input-to-output translation while attenuating input jitter. Its integrated crystal oscillator eliminates external XTAL components and reduces acoustic noise sensitivity during thermal ramping.
It operates in free-run, locked, holdover, and enhanced hitless switching modes, with programmable holdover history averaging (up to 120 s) and ramped frequency transitions. Grade E supports single-domain precision calibration and DCO mode with 0.001 ppb step size under both locked and free-run conditions.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-speed optical interconnects in coherent DSP-based line cards require sub-100-fs jitter clocks to maintain BER < 10⁻¹² under PAM4 modulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Jitter attenuator and frequency multiplier generating clean 28.05 GHz/56.1 GHz SerDes reference clocks from lower-frequency network sync sources. Use Value: 71 fs RMS jitter ensures sufficient margin against deterministic jitter accumulation across multiple retiming stages. |
Use Scenario: OTN transport equipment must synchronize multiple client interfaces (e.g., 100G Ethernet, CPRI, OTU4) to a common timing source with traceable stratum-3E accuracy. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary timing IC providing synchronized, jitter-attenuated clocks to FEC engines, framers, and multiplexers across the card. Use Value: Integrated reference and G.8262 compliance eliminate need for external TCXO, reducing cost and board area while meeting ITU-T wander limits. |
| 10/40/100/400G Networking Line Cards | Medical Imaging Systems |
Use Scenario: Modular switch/router line cards aggregate traffic from dozens of ports, each requiring precise clock alignment for packet buffering and scheduling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Central clock generator distributing phase-aligned clocks to PHYs, MACs, and packet processors across heterogeneous interfaces. Use Value: Two independent outputs with programmable formats allow simultaneous LVDS (PHY) and LVCMOS (control logic) clocking from one device. |
Use Scenario: MRI and PET scanners demand ultra-stable sampling clocks for ADCs and DACs to prevent image artifacts caused by timing-induced harmonic distortion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-phase-noise clock source for high-resolution data converters and FPGA-based signal processing pipelines. Use Value: 71 fs jitter translates to < 0.001° phase error at 100 MHz - critical for maintaining SNR > 90 dB in 16-bit+ acquisition chains. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar jitter attenuator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5342D-A-GM | External crystal reference; 44-QFN; 69 fs (P-grade only); no integrated oscillator | Requires external 48–54 MHz XTAL and load caps; higher board-level noise susceptibility | Preferred where existing XTAL infrastructure exists and acoustic noise is not a concern |
| LMK04832ISQE/NOPB | Two-stage PLL architecture; 4 outputs; 90 fs jitter; supports JESD204B subclass 1 | Lacks integrated crystal; requires separate LDOs; larger 64-VQFN package | Selected when JESD204B deterministic latency and multi-chip synchronization are required |
Compared with Si5342D-A-GM and LMK04832ISQE/NOPB, SI5392E-A-GMR delivers superior board-level integration via its monolithic crystal, tighter jitter (71 fs vs ≥90 fs), and smaller 44-LGA footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability telecom and medical timing applications.

FAQ
What is the phase jitter specification for SI5392E-A-GMR?
The SI5392E-A-GMR has a guaranteed phase jitter of 71 fs RMS (integrated from 12 kHz to 20 MHz), measured under Grade E conditions with integrated crystal reference. This value is confirmed in the Skyworks Final Data Sheet (206689B) and applies specifically to the SI5392E-A-GMR variant-not to external-reference grades like Si5392A or Si5392P. The 71 fs performance enables compliance with 56G PAM4 SerDes jitter budgets.
Does SI5392E-A-GMR require an external crystal?
No, SI5392E-A-GMR does not require an external crystal. It belongs to the J/K/L/M/E grade family and integrates a precision MEMS crystal oscillator on-die. This eliminates external XTAL components, reduces PCB area, improves reliability, and mitigates acoustic noise coupling during thermal transients-key advantages over A/B/C/D/P grades which mandate external 48–54 MHz crystals.
Is SI5392E-A-GMR pin-compatible with earlier Si5342 devices?
Yes, SI5392E-A-GMR is drop-in compatible with Si5342 devices in the same 44-LGA package. Skyworks explicitly states "Drop-in compatible with Si5345/44/42" in the datasheet, and both share identical pin functions, supply configurations, and I²C/SPI interface behavior. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from Si5342D-A-GM to SI5392E-A-GMR, though firmware updates may be required to leverage new features like enhanced hitless switching.
What output formats does SI5392E-A-GMR support?
SI5392E-A-GMR supports LVDS, LVPECL, LVCMOS, CML, and HCSL output formats across both OUT0 and OUT1 pins. Each output can be independently configured for format, amplitude, and slew rate via register settings. This flexibility allows direct interfacing with diverse downstream components-including SerDes PHYs (LVDS/CML), FPGAs (LVCMOS), and high-speed ADCs (LVPECL)-without external level-shifting circuitry.
How does holdover operation work on SI5392E-A-GMR?
During holdover, SI5392E-A-GMR uses up to 120 seconds of stored historical frequency data to compute an averaged holdover frequency, minimizing phase disturbance when the primary input fails. The averaging window and delay are programmable, and the final holdover frequency drift depends solely on the stability of its integrated crystal. This ensures compliant wander performance in SyncE applications even during extended reference outages.
Can SI5392E-A-GMR perform frequency-on-the-fly updates?
Yes, SI5392E-A-GMR supports Frequency-on-the-Fly (FOTF), allowing real-time reconfiguration of one MultiSynth's output frequency without affecting other outputs or causing glitches. This is implemented via dedicated register writes and enables dynamic rate adaptation in multi-protocol systems-for example, adjusting a 100G Ethernet clock while maintaining stable 25G CPRI timing on the second output.
