SI5330F-B00215-GM

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The SI5330F-B00215-GM is a low-jitter, low-skew clock buffer and level translator from Skyworks Solutions. It accepts a single-ended input signal and generates eight single-ended CMOS 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 (VDDO) is set to 2.5 V for this specific part number. It supports an input frequency range of 5 MHz to 200 MHz. Key electrical characteristics include a typical additive phase jitter of 150 fs RMS 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

• Output-output skew of 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 ordering suffix matches the required output voltage configuration. The 'B' indicates differential input capability is not utilized for this single-ended variant, but the base model supports it. Confirm the shipment media; adding an 'R' suffix specifies tape and reel packaging. Check the latest datasheet revision for any pinout or electrical specification updates before finalizing procurement.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this part when eight single-ended CMOS clocks are required from a single-ended source. Ensure the load capacitance requirements align with the specified rise/fall times for 2 pF or 15 pF loads. The VDDO supply must be connected to 2.5 V to match the output voltage level. Verify that the input frequency does not exceed 200 MHz for CMOS operation.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This component belongs to the Si5330 family of low-jitter clock buffers. The 'F' designation specifically identifies the single-ended input to eight single-ended CMOS output configuration. Other variants in the family support differential inputs, LVDS/LVPECL/HCSL outputs, or different output counts. This specific suffix denotes the 2.5 V output voltage setting.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same family include SI5330F-B00214-GM (3.3 V CMOS outputs) and SI5330F-B00216-GM (1.8 V CMOS outputs). For mixed-signal applications, consider SI5330G-H variants which accept differential inputs but provide single-ended CMOS outputs.
