SI5338N-B06153-GM

Overview

The SI5338N-B06153-GM is a programmable quad clock generator from Skyworks Solutions, utilizing MultiSynth technology to synthesize any frequency on four independent output drivers. It supports differential and single-ended formats including LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, CMOS, SSTL, and HSTL. The device accepts inputs up to 710 MHz via differential or single-ended sources. Key electrical parameters include a core supply voltage of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V, with a typical operating current of 45 mA. It features low phase jitter of 0.7 ps RMS typ and operates within a temperature range of –40 to +85 °C in a 24-lead QFN package.

Feature Summary

• MultiSynth™ technology enables independent, any-frequency synthesis on four output drivers with 0 ppm precision.
• Supports flexible input references: external crystals (8–30 MHz), CMOS (5–200 MHz), SSTL/HSTL (5–350 MHz), and differential (5–710 MHz).
• Independent output voltage per driver selectable at 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, or 3.3 V.
• Features glitchless frequency adjustments in 1 ppm steps and independent phase adjustment with <20 ps accuracy.

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 and MSAN/DSLAM/PON equipment.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm pinout configuration and factory programming settings. Ensure compatibility with I2C/SMBus interface requirements for system integration. Check for moisture sensitivity levels and recommended reflow soldering profiles during assembly planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring multiple independent clock frequencies from a single IC. Ensure the required output signal format (LVPECL, LVDS, etc.) and voltage levels match the load specifications. Verify that the input reference source falls within the supported frequency ranges for the chosen input type.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Si5338 family of I2C-programmable clock generators. The 'N' suffix typically denotes a specific pinout or functional variant within the series, while 'B06153' indicates factory-programmed register values. The 'GM' suffix identifies the tape-and-reel packaging format for surface-mount assembly.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the Si5338 family require verification of the ordering suffix to ensure identical pinout and pre-programmed configurations. Other Skyworks clock generators may offer similar performance but differ in output count or input flexibility.
