SI5341A-D-GM - 10-Output Any-Frequency Clock Generator | Skyworks
The Skyworks SI5341A-D-GM is a 10-output, any-frequency, any-output ultra-low jitter clock generator that synthesizes up to 1028 MHz on each of ten differential outputs, integrated in a 64-pin VFQFN (QFN) exposed-pad package. The device integrates a wide-band PLL front-end with proprietary MultiSynth fractional-divider technology to generate non-integer related frequencies with 0.09 ps RMS phase jitter (12 kHz to 20 MHz), making it one of the lowest-jitter clock ICs in its class. The Si5341A operates from 1.71 V to 3.47 V supply rails and accepts four reference inputs (LVCMOS, LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL). Outputs are independently configurable as LVDS, LVPECL, HCSL, LVCMOS, or SiLabs' proprietary format on a per-pin basis, and each output frequency is set independently in software via ClockBuilder Pro.
A clock generator is a precision timing IC that accepts one or more low-frequency references (crystal, XO, or recovered clock) and synthesizes multiple clean, independent high-frequency output clocks for SoCs, FPGAs, ASICs, ADCs, DACs, and PHYs. The "any-frequency, any-output" architecture means each of the 10 outputs can be a different frequency and a different format without external loop filters, so a single Si5341A replaces multiple XO/VCXO parts.
Key features include 0.09 ps RMS typical phase jitter, fractional-N synthesis (1 ppb resolution), independent per-output dividers, programmable output slew rates, output enable/format pins, hardware configuration via I2C/SPI, and field-upgradeable NVM. Hardware configurations are stored in on-chip non-volatile memory and applied at power-up, allowing fully autonomous boot without host intervention. The QFN-64 with exposed thermal pad provides thermal resistance suitable for the 1 W typical operating dissipation.
The architecture combines a low-noise integer PLL reference path with MultiSynth fractional output stages that suppress fractional spurs below -75 dBc even at non-integer frequency plans. This enables clean clock trees in systems where reference and backplane frequencies are unrelated (100G/400G Ethernet, OTN, wireless baseband, JESD204B ADC/DAC clocks).
Typical applications include 100G/200G/400G Ethernet switch and router timing, OTN/WDM optical transport clock generation, JESD204B/C SYSREF for high-speed ADC and DAC converters, FPGA and ASIC reference clock trees, wireless base-station fronthaul, and broadcast video reference distribution. The wide output frequency range (0.0001 MHz to 1028 MHz) covers virtually any timing requirement in modern high-speed serial systems.
Each output supports independent format and frequency, so a single Si5341A can supply SYSREF, device clock, and reference clock to a JESD204B subsystem simultaneously while also driving a backplane SerDes at a different rate. This consolidation replaces a rack of XO crystals and fanout buffers and reduces BOM cost.
When designing with the Si5341A, use Skyworks ClockBuilder Pro for prototype configuration and always order factory pre-programmed OPN variants (e.g., Si5341A-Dxxxx-GM) for production to lock the configuration as a one-time programmable NVM image.
