SI5330C-A00207-GM

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The SI5330C-A00207-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 single-ended HCSL outputs. The device operates with a core supply voltage of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V, while the output driver supply is independently set to 3.3 V. It supports a frequency range of 5 to 250 MHz for HCSL outputs. Key electrical characteristics include a typical additive jitter of 150 fs RMS (12 kHz–20 MHz) and an output-to-output skew of 100 ps. The component is housed in a 24-lead, 4 x 4 mm QFN package.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Generates four single-ended HCSL outputs from a differential input
• Additive phase jitter of 150 fs RMS typical at 622.08 MHz
• Output-output skew limited to 100 ps maximum
• Independent core (VDD) and output (VDDO) supply voltages

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• High Speed Clock Distribution
• Ethernet Switch/Router
• PCI Express 2.0/3.0
• Telecom Line Cards

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix A00207 to confirm the 3.3 V HCSL configuration. Confirm package type and shipping media (tube vs. tape and reel) as required by the assembly process. Check current availability status as distribution may vary.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this part when a differential input must be translated to four single-ended HCSL outputs. Ensure the system requires a 3.3 V output swing. Verify that the 250 MHz maximum frequency meets the design requirements. Consider the 24-QFN package size for PCB layout constraints.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This component belongs to the Si5330 family of clock buffers. The 'C' designation indicates the HCSL output format variant. Other variants in the series support LVPECL, LVDS, CMOS, SSTL, and HSTL outputs with different input configurations.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Other Si5330 variants such as SI5330C-B00208-GM (2.5 V HCSL) or SI5330C-A00209-GM (1.8 V HCSL) share the same package but differ in output voltage. Cross-model substitution requires verifying output driver supply compatibility.
