SI5330B-B00206-GM

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The SI5330B-B00206-GM is a low-jitter, low-skew clock buffer and level translator manufactured by Skyworks Solutions Inc. It accepts differential input signals and generates four differential LVDS outputs. The device operates with a core supply voltage of 1.8 V (range 1.71–1.98 V) and an independent output driver supply of 1.8 V (range 1.4–3.63 V). It supports input frequencies from 5 to 710 MHz. Key electrical characteristics include a typical additive phase jitter of 150 fs RMS (12 kHz–20 MHz), output-to-output skew of 100 ps, and typical propagation delay of 2.5 ns. The component is housed in a 24-lead, 4 x 4 mm QFN package.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the output signal format and supply voltage requirements. The standard shipment media is tray; add an 'R' suffix for tape and reel packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 2) prior to procurement.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this part when a 1:4 differential-to-differential LVDS translation is required. Ensure the system design provides a 1.8 V supply for both the core (VDD) and output drivers (VDDO). Verify that the input clock source matches the differential AC-coupled configuration supported by pins IN1 and IN2.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This component belongs to the Si5330 family of low-jitter clock buffers. The 'B' designation indicates LVDS output capability, while the '00206' suffix specifies the 1.8 V output driver supply voltage. It serves as a fanout buffer and level translator within high-performance timing applications.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Other Si5330 variants with different output formats (e.g., LVPECL, HCSL) or supply voltages may be considered if the interface requirements change. Check Table 11 in the datasheet for equivalent parts with matching pinouts but different electrical specifications.
