Product details
Overview
SI5395A-A-GMR from Skyworks Solutions is a fourth-generation DSPLL®-based jitter attenuator and clock multiplier IC with ultra-low 69 fs RMS phase jitter (P-grade), 4 differential/LVCMOS inputs, 12 programmable outputs, and integrated non-volatile memory. It operates in free-run, locked, or holdover modes and supports hitless switching between input clocks for 56G PAM4 SerDes clocking in telecom line cards.
For engineers reviewing the SI5395A-A-GMR datasheet, SI5395A-A-GMR pinout, SI5395A-A-GMR application, or SI5395A-A-GMR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 69 fs jitter performance, 100 Hz–1028 MHz differential output range, 0.1 Hz–4 kHz configurable DSPLL loop bandwidth, external crystal reference architecture, and compatibility with ClockBuilder Pro configuration software.
Technical Context
The SI5395A-A-GMR implements a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO)-capable DSPLL with fractional-N synthesis, enabling any-frequency multiplication from any input frequency. Its architecture integrates four independent MultiSynth™ dividers per output path, supporting integer and fractional synthesis modes with independent frequency-on-the-fly control.
It features programmable holdover with 120-second frequency history averaging, enhanced hitless switching (0.2 ns typical phase transient), and dual-loop operation: a high-bandwidth Fastlock mode (100 Hz–4 kHz) for rapid lock acquisition and a stable main DSPLL loop (0.1 Hz–4 kHz) for jitter attenuation-except in Grade P devices where loop bandwidth is fixed at 100 Hz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Phase Jitter (RMS) | 69 fs - Measured over 12 kHz–20 MHz offset; enables compliance with 56G/112G PAM4 SerDes jitter budgets. |
| Input Frequency Range | 8 kHz–750 MHz (differential); supports legacy telecom timing signals and high-speed reference clocks. |
| Output Frequency Range | 100 Hz–1028 MHz (differential); covers SyncE, OTN, and Ethernet PHY clocking requirements. |
| DSPLL Loop Bandwidth | 0.1 Hz–4 kHz (configurable); determines jitter attenuation profile and holdover stability trade-off. |
| Output Count / Type | 12 LVDS/LVPECL/CML/HCSL/LVCMOS outputs; each independently format- and amplitude-programmable. |
| Reference Architecture | External crystal (48–54 MHz XTAL) - eliminates need for external load capacitors and reduces board-level noise coupling. |
| Supply Voltages | VDD = 1.8 V ±5%; VDDA = 3.3 V ±5%; independent output supply pins support 1.8/2.5/3.3 V I/O domains. |
Pinout & Package
SI5395A-A-GMR is housed in a 64-pin QFN package (9 × 9 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are defined per Skyworks Si5395 Family Reference Manual (Rev. 1.3, Section 5.1) and validated against official pinout diagrams in UG335.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN0–IN3 | Differential/LVCMOS clock inputs | Accept primary timing references; IN3 serves as FB_IN in zero-delay mode. |
| OUT0–OUT11 | Programmable clock outputs | Support LVDS/LVPECL/CML/HCSL/LVCMOS; each with independent format, amplitude, and delay control. |
| XA/XB | Crystal oscillator interface | Connects to 48–54 MHz fundamental-mode crystal; internal load caps eliminate external components. |
| SCL/SDA | I²C serial interface | Two-wire bus for configuration, status readback, and NVM programming; supports hot-plug operation. |
| RSTb | Active-low hardware reset | Triggers full initialization and NVM reload; required before first-time configuration or after power-up. |
| LOL | Loss-of-Lock indicator | Open-drain output asserts low when DSPLL loses phase lock to selected input clock. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low jitter synthesis | 69 fs RMS (P-grade) enables direct use in 56G PAM4 SerDes CDR clocking without additional cleanup. |
| Hitless input switching | 0.2 ns typical phase transient allows seamless failover between synchronized telecom references (e.g., 8 kHz, 19.44 MHz). |
| Programmable holdover | 120-second frequency history buffer with user-defined averaging window ensures stable output during input loss. |
| In-circuit NVM programming | Non-volatile OTP memory retains factory or field-programmed configuration; powers up ready-to-operate. |
| MultiSynth independence | Each of 12 outputs supports independent frequency-on-the-fly updates without disrupting other outputs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar jitter attenuator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5395P-A-GMR | Same 64-QFN package and pinout; fixed 100 Hz DSPLL loop bandwidth; supports up to 3 frequency domains. | Optimized for highest-jitter-performance 56G SerDes; lacks configurable loop bandwidth but guarantees 69 fs spec. | Select when absolute jitter floor is critical and loop bandwidth flexibility is unnecessary. |
| Si5345A-A-GMR | Drop-in compatible predecessor; 75 fs RMS jitter; same 64-QFN footprint; no integrated holdover history buffer. | Legacy design-in replacement; suitable for less demanding 25G/100G applications where 69 fs is not required. | Choose for cost-sensitive upgrades where existing Si5345 layout and firmware can be reused. |
Compared with SI5395A-A-GMR, Si5395P-A-GMR delivers guaranteed 69 fs jitter at fixed 100 Hz loop bandwidth but sacrifices configurability, while Si5345A-A-GMR offers proven drop-in compatibility with higher jitter and no programmable holdover-making SI5395A-A-GMR optimal for new designs requiring both flexibility and ultra-low jitter.

FAQ
What is the phase jitter specification for SI5395A-A-GMR and under what conditions is it measured?
The SI5395A-A-GMR achieves 69 fs RMS phase jitter (integrated from 12 kHz to 20 MHz offset), specified for Grade P devices using a 48 MHz external crystal reference and operating in locked mode. This value is confirmed in the Skyworks Final Data Sheet (206689B, April 2025) and applies to differential outputs configured per recommended layout guidelines. SI5395A-A-GMR maintains this jitter performance across its full 100 Hz–1028 MHz output range when synthesizing integer or fractional frequencies.
Does SI5395A-A-GMR support hitless switching between input clocks, and what are the requirements?
Yes, SI5395A-A-GMR supports enhanced hitless switching with ≤0.2 ns typical phase transient. It requires that the two input clocks be frequency-locked-either identical or related by an exact integer ratio-and that the DSPLL is configured for hitless mode via register control. The feature is validated for 8 kHz, 19.44 MHz, and 25 MHz inputs per Skyworks AN1151, and SI5395A-A-GMR absorbs phase differences internally without propagating glitches to outputs.
What package type and footprint does SI5395A-A-GMR use, and is it compatible with automated assembly?
SI5395A-A-GMR uses a 64-pin QFN package (9 × 9 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad, fully compliant with IPC-7351B standards. Its lead-free, RoHS-6-compliant construction and standard reflow profile (per JEDEC J-STD-020) ensure compatibility with high-volume SMT assembly lines. The SI5395A-A-GMR footprint matches Skyworks' recommended land pattern in UG335 and supports standard SPI/I²C routing without impedance discontinuities.
Can SI5395A-A-GMR operate without an external crystal, and what are the reference options?
No-SI5395A-A-GMR (Grade A) requires an external 48–54 MHz fundamental-mode crystal connected to XA/XB pins; it does not include an integrated resonator. The device uses internal load capacitors (no external caps needed) and supports optional external XO input via REFCLK mode. SI5395A-A-GMR cannot use integrated reference variants (e.g., Si5395J), and connecting external clock sources to integrated-reference grades risks damage per Skyworks datasheet warning.
How is SI5395A-A-GMR configured, and is factory programming available?
SI5395A-A-GMR is configured via I²C or SPI interface using Skyworks ClockBuilder Pro software, which generates register maps and validates frequency plans. It includes on-chip OTP NVM to retain configuration across power cycles. Factory preprogrammed units are available with custom part numbers (e.g., Si5395A-Axxxxx-GM), where "xxxxx" encodes the specific frequency plan, output formats, and operational modes programmed prior to shipment.
