SI5338P-B06004-GM

Application Specific Clock/Timing Overview

The SI5338P-B06004-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 supports differential and single-ended outputs including LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, CMOS, SSTL, and HSTL. The device operates from a single core supply of 1.8, 2.5, or 3.3 V and accepts inputs ranging from external crystals (8–30 MHz) to differential clocks 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 formats, and an operating temperature range of –40 to +85 °C.

Application Specific Clock/Timing 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 aligns with the system bus requirements, as register configuration may be necessary for voltages below 2.5 V. Confirm that the selected package variant matches the PCB land pattern specifications provided in the datasheet.

Application Specific Clock/Timing Selection Notes

Select this component when low jitter performance (0.7 ps typ) and flexible output format configuration are required. Ensure the input source matches the supported frequency ranges for the chosen interface type. Consider the power consumption implications of the active output drivers and supply voltages, as total current draw varies significantly based on the number of active outputs and their respective formats.
