SI5338L-B06099-GM

Overview

The SI5338L-B06099-GM is a programmable quad clock generator from Skyworks Solutions, utilizing MultiSynth technology to synthesize any frequency on four independent output drivers with zero ppm precision. It operates within a core supply range of 1.71 V to 3.63 V and supports input frequencies up to 710 MHz. The device features low phase jitter of 0.7 ps RMS typical, glitchless frequency adjustments in 1 ppm steps, and independent phase adjustment with <20 ps accuracy. Outputs support various formats including LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, CMOS, SSTL, and HSTL across different voltage levels.

Feature Summary
