SI53321-B-GM Présentation

The Skyworks SI53321-B-GM is a 2:10 LVPECL low-jitter fanout clock buffer supporting any-format input frequencies from DC up to 1250 MHz, housed in a 32-pin VFQFN Exposed Pad package. The device accepts two differential or single-ended input clocks and distributes a glitchlessly-selected reference to ten LVPECL outputs, with 50 fs RMS typical additive jitter and sub-100 ps output-to-output skew. Independent core and output-bank supply pins allow integrated voltage-level translation without external circuitry, simplifying multi-rail board design.

What is a clock fanout buffer? A clock buffer is a timing-IC building block that receives one or more reference clocks and produces multiple low-jitter copies of the chosen reference, isolating the upstream oscillator from load variation and downstream impedance shifts. Fanout buffers sit beneath clock generators in the timing-tree hierarchy (clock generator -> clock buffer -> serializer/FPGA/ASIC clock pin) and are essential wherever a single reference must feed many loads without degrading phase noise or introducing skew. The Si53321-B-GM specifically targets low-jitter LVPECL distribution where additive jitter and propagation-delay variability must be minimized.

Key specifications include a maximum input frequency of 1.25 GHz, ten LVPECL outputs, a 2:1 input multiplexer with glitchless switching, integrated 50 ohm termination on differential inputs, and per-bank supply pins for level translation. The Skyworks advanced CMOS core delivers low additive jitter so the upstream reference phase noise budget is preserved, while integrated terminations reduce external component count. The VFQFN-32 package with exposed pad supports compact PCB footprints and provides low thermal resistance for continuous 1.25 GHz operation.

Typical applications include redundant clocking in telecommunications line cards, broadcast video reference distribution, FPGA/ASIC clock fanout in high-speed serial designs, and test-and-measurement instrumentation requiring multiple synchronized LVPECL copies. The device is well suited to ATCA/AMC clock planes where redundancy and low jitter are mandatory.

When designing with this part, place input terminations as close as possible to the IN pins, use the exposed pad as the primary thermal and ground path, and observe the recommended per-bank supply decoupling to avoid crosstalk between the core logic and output drivers. Always refer to the manufacturer datasheet for full AC and DC parametric tables before sign-off.

Applications typiques

SI53321-B-GM convient pour 6 applications: Redundant Telecom Line-Card Clocking, FPGA Transceiver Clock Fanout, Broadcast Video Reference Distribution, Test and Measurement Instrumentation, Server Backplane Clock Buffering, Industrial Automation Backplane.

🌐

Redundant Telecom Line-Card Clocking

The SI53321-B-GM distributes a clean LVPECL reference across an ATCA or AMC line card with built-in 2:1 glitchless input multiplexing for primary/backup reference redundancy. At 1.25 GHz maximum input frequency the device covers all common telecom and datacom reference rates, while the 50 fs RMS additive jitter preserves the upstream phase-noise budget required by serializer/deserializer (SerDes) blocks. Per-bank supply pins allow the core logic to run from 1.8 V while the output banks drive 2.5 V LVPECL, removing the need for external level translators and reducing BOM cost.

🖥️

FPGA Transceiver Clock Fanout

Multi-channel FPGA designs using GTX/GTH/GTY transceivers require multiple low-skew copies of the same reference clock. The SI53321-B-GM's ten LVPECL outputs and low propagation-delay variability let a single IC drive all transceiver reference pins on a Virtex-7, Kintex-7, or comparable FPGA, removing inter-IC skew and lowering jitter. The 2:1 input mux supports dual reference inputs for OTN or CPRI line cards that need primary/backup reference switching without phase hits.

🎥

Broadcast Video Reference Distribution

Studio and broadcast video systems must distribute a single black-burst or word-clock reference to multiple processing paths without adding jitter. The SI53321-B-GM fans a 27 MHz or 148.5 MHz video reference to ten LVPECL outputs with additive jitter low enough to remain within SMPTE 2059-2 timing budgets. Independent output-bank supply pins allow level translation between core logic (1.8 V) and downstream SDI framer ASICs (2.5 V LVPECL) on the same board.

🔧

Test and Measurement Instrumentation

High-end oscilloscopes, BERTs, and signal analyzers need to fan out a single ultra-low-jitter reference to multiple internal ADC/DAC blocks without degrading phase noise. The SI53321-B-GM's 50 fs RMS additive jitter and 1.25 GHz input range cover reference frequencies from 10 MHz OCXO up to 1 GHz lab references. The integrated input terminations and exposed-pad package simplify PCB layout in dense multi-channel instruments where channel-to-channel skew must remain below 100 ps.

🏭

Server Backplane Clock Buffering

Modern server motherboards route PCIe, SAS, and memory clock references through long backplane traces where signal integrity degrades. Placing the SI53321-B-GM near the receiver ASICs regenerates a clean LVPECL reference from an upstream clock generator, with the 2:1 input mux supporting failover from a primary platform clock to a backup oscillator. The 32-VFQFN EP footprint fits standard high-density server PCB layouts.

🏭

Industrial Automation Backplane

Industrial control backplanes using EtherCAT, PROFINET, or SERCOS require deterministic clock distribution across multiple isolated domains. The SI53321-B-GM provides ten galvanically isolated LVPECL clocks from a single reference, and the wide 1.25 GHz input range supports both standard industrial reference rates and high-speed motion-control encoder clocks. The exposed-pad QFN package meets industrial PCB assembly guidelines and supports -40 to +85 C operation.

What is the maximum input frequency of the SI53321-B-GM?
The SI53321-B-GM accepts any-format input frequencies from DC up to 1250 MHz (1.25 GHz). According to the Skyworks datasheet, both differential and single-ended clocks are supported, with integrated input terminations reducing external component count. This wide range covers most telecom, broadcast, and high-speed serial reference frequencies.
How many LVPECL outputs does the SI53321-B-GM provide?
The SI53321-B-GM provides ten LVPECL outputs from a 2:1 any-format input multiplexer. Each output maintains low additive jitter and consistent propagation delay, making the device suitable for distributing a clean reference to multiple ASICs, FPGAs, or serializer channels on a single board.
Does the SI53321-B-GM have a glitchless input multiplexer?
Yes. The SI53321-B-GM features a 2:1 glitchless switching multiplexer that prevents runt pulses or short cycles when switching between primary and secondary references. This is essential for redundant clocking applications in ATCA/AMC platforms, where a momentary phase discontinuity could cause downstream loss-of-lock.
What package does the SI53321-B-GM ship in?
The SI53321-B-GM ships in a 32-VFQFN Exposed Pad package (32-pin QFN with exposed thermal pad). The exposed pad serves as the primary thermal path and must be soldered to a sufficiently large ground pour for reliable operation at 1.25 GHz continuous fanout.
Is the SI53321-B-GM pin-compatible with the Si53301-B-GM?
The SI53301-B-GM is a 1:10 any-format buffer (no input mux) in the same 32-VFQFN EP family. Pin compatibility between the two depends on the user PCB layout; in many Si533xx layouts the devices are drop-in interchangeable after verifying the input-mux pin assignments in the datasheet. Treat the Si53301 as a functional drop-in only after confirming pinout against the datasheet.
Where can I buy the SI53321-B-GM at the best price?
As of 2026-10-10, the SI53321-B-GM is in stock at DigiKey, Mouser, and Arrow with unit pricing around $7.85 at qty 1 falling to approximately $5.10 at qty 1000. Bulk breaks at 2500 pieces push pricing below $4.50 per unit. Octopart aggregates real-time distributor stock and is recommended for comparing tier pricing across authorized channels.
What is the typical lead time for SI53321-B-GM orders?
As of 2026-10-10, DigiKey and Mouser list factory stock of the SI53321-B-GM with same-day dispatch for orders placed before the cutoff. Lead time for non-stocked quantities is typically 8-12 weeks when ordered directly from Skyworks, since the part is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging on a standard 2500-piece reel.
SI53321-B-GM vs SI5338C-B-GMR - which is better for clock distribution?
The SI53321-B-GM is a fixed-frequency 2:10 LVPECL buffer designed for simple fanout from any-format references, while the SI5338C-B-GMR is a programmable any-frequency clock generator with four output banks. For pure fanout with an external reference already in place, the SI53321-B-GM is the lower-jitter, lower-cost choice. For applications that need flexible output frequencies, choose the SI5338C.
When should I choose the SI53321-B-GM over the Si53301-B-GM?
Choose the SI53321-B-GM when redundant clocking is required and you need the glitchless 2:1 input mux for primary/backup reference switching. Choose the Si53301-B-GM when only a single reference is needed and you prefer a slightly simpler BOM. Both share the same 32-VFQFN EP footprint, so the layout can remain unchanged.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the SI53321-B-GM?
Within the Skyworks Si533xx family, the SI53301-B-GM (1:10, no input mux) and the Si53320-B-GM (lower-frequency variant in some datasheet revisions) are the closest functional equivalents. For most designs that require the glitchless 2:1 mux, the SI53321-B-GM itself remains the best drop-in choice; consult the Skyworks cross-reference tool to confirm pinout before substituting.
Where can I download the SI53321-B-GM datasheet PDF?
The official Skyworks SI53321-B-GM datasheet PDF is available on the Skyworks Solutions product page under the LVPECL Clock Buffers category. Third-party mirrors such as Alldatasheet also host the document; for the latest revision always prefer the Skyworks source. The datasheet contains the AC/DC tables, pinout diagram, and recommended PCB layout.
Where do I find the SI53321-B-GM pinout diagram?

What are the key specifications of the SI53321-B-GM that engineers should know?
The SI53321-B-GM delivers 10 LVPECL outputs from a 2:1 any-format input, supports DC to 1.25 GHz input frequency, achieves 50 fs RMS typical additive jitter, integrates input terminations, and ships in a 32-VFQFN Exposed Pad package. Independent core and output-bank supply pins enable level translation without external components. These specifications make it the preferred choice for redundant low-jitter LVPECL distribution.
Is the SI53321-B-GM suitable for FPGA clock fanout in serial designs?
Yes. The SI53321-B-GM is well-suited for distributing a low-jitter reference to multiple FPGA GT/GTH transceivers, serializer/deserializer (SerDes) blocks, and ASIC clock pins. The 50 fs RMS additive jitter preserves the upstream phase-noise budget, while the 2:1 glitchless mux supports primary/backup reference switching for redundancy in production-grade hardware.

  • Independent per-bank supply pins for level translation (vs Generic clock buffers with single supply)

Notes de conception

Estimated: At 1.25 GHz continuous operation with all ten LVPECL outputs active, the SI53321-B-GM dissipates roughly 0.5-0.7 W. The VFQFN-32 package relies on the exposed pad as the primary thermal path. Solder the EP to a continuous ground pour of at least 0.5 sq-in per layer to maintain junction temperature within the operating range.

Place input terminations within 3 mm of IN pins and route the differential IN pairs with 100 ohm differential impedance. Keep LVPECL output traces length-matched within the same bank to minimize intra-bank skew; use series source terminations (typically 33 ohm) close to the IC output pins for proper LVPECL back-termination.

Use independent decoupling capacitors on each VDD pin: 10 uF bulk plus 0.1 uF and 1 nF ceramics. The independent core and output-bank supply pins (VDD_CORE and VDD_BANK_x) must each have their own decoupling; sharing a ferrite bead between them reduces noise isolation between core logic and output drivers.

Do not leave unused output banks floating. Per the Skyworks datasheet, unused outputs should be disabled through the OE pin or terminated with the standard LVPECL 50 ohm-to-VDD-2V scheme; leaving them floating can increase crosstalk and degrade adjacent output jitter. Always verify the CLK_SEL pin logic state during initialization to avoid unintended reference selection.
