SI5338L-B06100-GM

Overview

The SI5338L-B06100-GM is a programmable clock generator from the Si5338 family, manufactured by Skyworks Solutions. It synthesizes four independent output clocks with zero ppm frequency accuracy using MultiSynth technology. The device supports input frequencies up to 710 MHz and generates outputs ranging from 0.16 MHz to 710 MHz depending on the format (LVPECL/LVDS/CML). It operates on a single core supply of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V, with typical current consumption of 45 mA. Key electrical parameters include a typical phase jitter of 0.7 ps RMS and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• MultiSynth technology enables any-frequency synthesis with 0 ppm precision on four independent drivers.
• Supports flexible input references including external crystals (8-30 MHz), CMOS (up to 200 MHz), and differential inputs (up to 710 MHz).
• Configurable output formats include LVPECL, LVDS, CML, HCSL, CMOS, SSTL, and HSTL with independent voltage levels (1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V).
• Features glitchless frequency adjustments in 1 ppm steps and independent phase adjustment with <20 ps resolution.

Applications

• PCIe Gen 1/2/3/4 Common Clock and Gen 3 SRNS compliant systems.
• Ethernet switch/router and 1 GbE/10 GbE interfaces.
• Processor and FPGA clocking solutions.
• Broadcast video/audio timing infrastructure.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm factory programming configurations. The 'GM' suffix indicates a tray package, while 'GMR' denotes a reel. Ensure I2C pull-up voltages are compatible with the selected core supply voltage, particularly when operating below 2.5 V.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low-jitter (<0.7 ps RMS) multi-output clock generation from a single IC. Consider the output driver voltage requirements (VDDO) separately from the core supply (VDD). Verify that the required output frequencies fall within the supported ranges for the chosen signal format, noting that frequencies above 350 MHz are limited to specific divisors of Fvco.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Si5338 family of I2C-programmable quad clock generators. It replaces multiple discrete crystal oscillators and frequency translators. The device integrates a PLL and four MultiSynth outputs in a compact 4x4 mm QFN-24 package, designed for space-constrained high-performance digital systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same family include other Si5338 variants such as SI5338A, SI5338C, SI5338F, and SI5338Q. Selection depends on matching the maximum output frequency capabilities and specific output configuration requirements defined in the system design.
