SI5330A-B00202-GM

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The Si5330A-B00202-GM is a low-jitter, low-skew clock buffer and level translator manufactured by Skyworks Solutions. It accepts a differential input signal and generates four differential LVPECL outputs operating at a 2.5 V supply voltage. The device supports a frequency range of 5 to 710 MHz with a typical additive jitter of 150 fs RMS. It features independent core (VDD) and output (VDDO) supplies, allowing flexible voltage configurations. Key specifications include a propagation delay of 2.5 ns typ, output-output skew of 100 ps max, and an industrial temperature range of –40 to +85 °C. The component is housed in a compact 24-lead, 4 x 4 mm QFN package.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'GM' corresponds to tube packaging when placing orders, as indicated in standard Skyworks documentation. Confirm that the 2.5 V LVPECL output configuration matches the target system requirements. Check for any Product Change Notifications (PCN) regarding lead frame modifications or moisture sensitivity level updates prior to procurement.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this part when a differential-to-differential LVPECL translation is required with a 2.5 V output swing. Ensure the input source supports the 5–710 MHz range. Verify that the PCB layout can accommodate the 24-QFN package dimensions and that the central ground pad is properly connected to minimize thermal resistance and ensure electrical performance.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This component belongs to the Si5330 family of low-jitter clock buffers. The 'A' designation indicates differential input capability, while the 'B00202' code specifies the 2.5 V LVPECL output format. It serves as a fanout buffer and level translator within the broader Si5330 series, which also includes variants for LVDS, HCSL, CMOS, SSTL, and HSTL formats.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Si5330A-B00200-GM provides identical functionality but with 3.3 V LVPECL outputs instead of 2.5 V.
