SI5338N-B06180-GM

Overview

The SI5338N-B06180-GM is a programmable quad clock generator from Skyworks Solutions. It utilizes MultiSynth technology to synthesize any frequency on four independent output drivers with zero ppm precision. The device supports differential and single-ended outputs, including LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, CMOS, SSTL, and HSTL formats. It operates from a single core supply of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V and accepts various input references up to 710 MHz. Key electrical parameters include a typical RMS jitter of 0.7 ps, a maximum output frequency of 710 MHz for differential signals, and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• MultiSynth™ technology enables independent, any-frequency synthesis on four output drivers with 0 ppm accuracy.
• Low phase jitter performance of 0.7 ps RMS typical.
• Flexible input reference options: external crystal (8–30 MHz), CMOS (5–200 MHz), SSTL/HSTL (5–350 MHz), or differential (5–710 MHz).
• Independent output voltage per driver selectable at 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, or 3.3 V.

Applications

• PCIe Gen 1/2/3/4 Common Clock and Gen 3 SRNS compliant systems.
• Ethernet switch/router timing.
• Processor and FPGA clocking.
• Broadcast video/audio timing.
• Telecom line cards and MSAN/DSLAM/PON applications.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and factory programming settings. Ensure the I2C pull-up voltage requirements are met if operating below 2.5 V. Confirm package availability and moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when low jitter and flexible output format configuration are required. Ensure the input reference frequency falls within the supported ranges for the chosen mode. Verify that the required output frequencies do not exceed the limits for specific signal formats, such as 200 MHz for CMOS or 710 MHz for LVDS/LVPECL.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Si5338 family of I2C-programmable clock generators. It replaces multiple discrete oscillators in complex digital systems. The device integrates a PLL and MultiSynth stages to provide precise frequency synthesis across all four outputs simultaneously.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include other Si5338 variants with different factory programming codes. Verify that alternative part numbers support the same output configurations and jitter specifications required by the design.
