Description  
The Si5338 is a high-performance, low-jitter clock generator capable of  
synthesizing any frequency on each of the device's four output drivers. This timing  
IC is capable of replacing up to four different frequency crystal oscillators or  
operating as a frequency translator. Using its patented MultiSynth™ technology,  
the Si5338 allows generation of four independent clocks with 0 ppm precision.  
Each output clock is independently configurable to support various signal formats  
and supply voltages. The Si5338 provides low-jitter frequency synthesis in a  
space-saving 4 x 4 mm QFN package. The device is programmable via an I2C/  
SMBus-compatible serial interface and supports operation from a 1.8, 2.5, or  
3.3 V core supply. I2C device programming is made easy with the ClockBuilder™  
Desktop software available at www.silabs.com/ClockBuilder. Measuring PCIe  
clock jitter is quick and easy with the Silicon Labs PCIe Clock Jitter Tool.

Notes:  
1. Use an external 100 resistor to provide load termination for a differential clock. See Figure 3.  
2. For best jitter performance, keep the midpoint differential input slew rate on pins 1,2,5,6 faster than 0.3 V/ns.  
3. Minimum input frequency in clock buffer mode (PLL bypass) is 5 MHz. Operation to 1 MHz is also supported in buffer  
mode, but loss-of-signal (LOS) status is not functional.  
4. For best jitter performance, keep the mid point input single ended slew rate on pins 3 or 4 faster than 1 V/ns.  
5. Not in PLL bypass mode.  
6. Only two unique frequencies above 350 MHz can be simultaneously output, Fvco/4 and Fvco/6. See "3.3. Synthesis  
Stages" on page 19.  
7. CML output format requires ac-coupling of the differential outputs to a differential 100 load at the receiver.  
8. Includes effect of internal series 22 resistor.

Notes:  
1. Use an external 100 resistor to provide load termination for a differential clock. See Figure 3.  
2. For best jitter performance, keep the midpoint differential input slew rate on pins 1,2,5,6 faster than 0.3 V/ns.  
3. Minimum input frequency in clock buffer mode (PLL bypass) is 5 MHz. Operation to 1 MHz is also supported in buffer  
mode, but loss-of-signal (LOS) status is not functional.  
4. For best jitter performance, keep the mid point input single ended slew rate on pins 3 or 4 faster than 1 V/ns.  
5. Not in PLL bypass mode.  
6. Only two unique frequencies above 350 MHz can be simultaneously output, Fvco/4 and Fvco/6. See "3.3. Synthesis  
Stages" on page 19.  
7. CML output format requires ac-coupling of the differential outputs to a differential 100 load at the receiver.  
8. Includes effect of internal series 22 resistor.

Notes:  
1. All jitter measurements apply for LVDS/HCSL/LVPECL/CML output format with a low noise differential input clock and  
are made with an Agilent 90804 oscilloscope. All RJ measurements use RJ/DJ separation.  
2. For best jitter performance, keep the single ended clock input slew rates at Pins 3 and 4 more than 1.0 V/ns and the  
differential clock input slew rates more than 0.3 V/ns.  
3. All jitter data in this table is based upon all output formats being differential. When single-ended outputs are used, there  
is the potential that the output jitter may increase due to the nature of single-ended outputs. If your configuration  
implements any single-ended output and any output is required to have jitter less than 3 ps rms, contact Silicon Labs  
for support to validate your configuration and ensure the best jitter performance. In many configurations, CMOS  
outputs have little to no effect upon jitter.  
4. DJ for PCI and GbE is < 5 ps pp  
5. Output MultiSynth in Integer mode.  
6. All output clocks 100 MHz HCSL format. Jitter is from the PCIE jitter filter combination that produces the highest jitter.  
See AN562 for details. Jitter is measured with the Intel Clock Jitter Tool, Ver. 1.6.4.  
7. Input frequency to the Phase Detector between 25 and 40 MHz and any output frequency > 5 MHz.  
8. Measured in accordance with JEDEC standard 65.  
9. Rj is multiplied by 14; estimate the pp jitter from Rj over 212 rising edges.

Si5338  
IN3 and IN4 accept single-ended signals from 5 MHz to  
200 MHz. The single-ended inputs are internally ac-  
coupled; so, they can accept a wide variety of signals  
without requiring a specific dc level. The input signal  
only needs to meet a minimum voltage swing and must  
not exceed a maximum VIH or a minimum VIL. Refer to  
Table 6 for signal voltage limits. A typical single-ended  
connection is shown in Figure 3. For additional  
termination options, refer to “AN408: Termination  
Options for Any-Frequency, Any-Output Clock  
Generators and Clock Buffers—Si5338, Si5334,  
Si5330”.  
3.2. Input Stage  
The input stage supports four inputs. Two are used as  
the clock inputs to the synthesis stage, and the other  
two are used as feedback inputs for zero delay or  
external feedback mode. In cases where external  
feedback is not required, all four inputs are available to  
the synthesis stage. The reference selector selects one  
of the inputs as the reference to the synthesis stage.  
The input configuration is selectable through the I C  
interface. The input MUXes are set automatically in  
ClockBuilder Desktop (see “3.1.1. ClockBuilder™  
Desktop Software”). For information on setting the input  
MUXs manually, see the Si5338 Reference Manual:  
Configuring the Si5338 without ClockBuilder Desktop.  
For free-run operation, the internal oscillator can  
operate from a low-frequency fundamental mode crystal  
(XTAL) with a resonant frequency between 8 and  
30 MHz. A crystal can easily be connected to pins IN1  
and IN2 without external components as shown in  
Figure 4. See Tables 8–11 for crystal specifications that  
are guaranteed to work with the Si5338.

IN1/IN2 and IN5/IN6 are differential inputs capable of  
accepting clock rates from 5 to 710 MHz. The  
differential inputs are capable of interfacing to multiple  
signals, such as LVPECL, LVDS, HSCT, HCSL, and  
CML. Differential signals must be ac-coupled as shown  
in Figure 3. A termination resistor of 100 placed close  
to the input pins is also required. Refer to Table 6 for  
signal voltage limits.  
3.2.1. Loss-of-Signal (LOS) Alarm Detectors  
There are two LOS detectors: LOS_CLKIN and  
LOS_FDBK. These detectors are tied to the outputs of  
the P1 and P2 frequency dividers, which are always  
enabled. See "3.6. Status Indicators" on page 24 for  
details on the alarm indicators. These alarms are used  
during programming to ensure that a valid input clock is  
detected. The input MUXs are set automatically in  
ClockBuilder Desktop (see the Si5338 Reference  
Manual to set manually).

Next-generation timing applications require a wide  
range of frequencies that are often non-integer related.  
Traditional clock architectures address this by using  
multiple single PLL ICs, often at the expense of BOM  
complexity and power. The Si5338 uses patented  
MultiSynth technology to dramatically simplify timing  
architectures by integrating the frequency synthesis  
capability of four Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) in a  
single device, greatly reducing size and power  
requirements versus traditional solutions.

device’s default configuration is stored in non-volatile  
memory (NVM) as shown in Figure 8. The NVM is a  
one-time programmable memory (OTP), which can  
store a custom user configuration at power-up. This is a  
useful feature for applications that need a clock present  
at power-up (e.g., for providing a clock to a processor).

The output selectors select the clock source for the  
output drivers. By default, each output driver is  
connected to its own MultiSynth block (e.g. MS0 to  
CLK0, MS1 to CLK1, etc), but other combinations are  
possible by reconfiguring the device. The PLL can be  
bypassed by connecting the input stage signals (osc,  
ref, refdiv, fb, or fbdiv) directly to the output divider.  
Bypassing an input directly to an output will not allow  
phase alignment of that output to other outputs. Each of  
the output drivers can also connect to the first  
MultiSynth block (MS0) enabling a fan-out function. This  
allows the Si5338 to act as a clock generator, a fanout  
buffer, or a combination of both in the same package.  
The output dividers (R0, R1, R2, R3) allow another  
stage of clock division.These dividers are configurable  
as divide by 1 (default), 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32. When an Rn  
does not equal 1, the phase alignment function for that  
output will not work.  
During a power cycle or a power-on reset (POR), the  
contents of the NVM are copied into random access  
memory (RAM), which sets the device configuration that  
will be used during operation. Any changes to the  
device configuration after power-up are made by  
reading and writing to registers in the RAM space  
2
through the I C interface. ClockBuilder Desktop (see  
"3.1.1. ClockBuilder™ Desktop Software" on page 18)  
can be used to easily configure register map files that  
can be written into RAM (see “3.5.2. Creating a New  
Configuration for RAM” for details). Alternatively, the  
register map file can be created manually with the help  
of the equations in the Si5338 Reference Manual.  
Two versions of the Si5338 are available. First,  
standard, non-customized Si5338 devices are available  
in which the RAM can be configured in-circuit via I C  
2
(example part number Si5338C-A-GM). Alternatively,  
standard Si5338 devices can be field-programmed  
using the Si5338/56-PROG-EVB field programmer.  
Second, custom factory-programmed Si5338 devices  
are available that include a user-specified startup  
frequency configuration (example part number  
Si5338C-Axxxxx-GM). See "12. Ordering Information"  
on page 42 for details.  
The output drivers are configurable to support common  
signal formats, such as LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, CMOS,  
HSTL, and SSTL. Separate output supply pins (VDDO )  
n
are provided for each output buffer.  
The voltage on these supply pins can be 3.3, 2.5, 1.8, or  
1.5 V as needed for the possible output formats.  
Additionally, the outputs can be configured to stop high,  
low, or tri-state when the PLL has lost lock. If the Si5338  
is used in a zero delay mode, the output that is fed back  
must be set for always on, which will override any  
output disable signal.

3.5.1. Ordering a Custom NVM Configuration  
The Si5338 is orderable with a factory-programmed custom NVM configuration. This is the simplest way of using  
the Si5338 since it generates the desired output frequencies at power-up or after a power-on reset (POR). This  
2
default configuration can be reconfigured in RAM through the I C interface after power-up (see “3.5.2. Creating a  
New Configuration for RAM”).  
2
2
Custom 7-bit I C addresses may also be requested. Note that for the A/B/C devices, the I C LS bit address is the  
2
logical “or” of the I C address LS bit in Register 27 and the state of the I2C_LSB pin. If I2C_LSB pin functionality is  
2
2
required, custom I C addresses may only be even numbers. For all other variants of the device, custom I C  
addresses may be even or odd numbers. See the Si5338 Reference Manual: Configuring the Si5338 without  
ClockBuilder Desktop for more details.  
The first step in ordering a custom device is generating an NVM file which defines the input and output clock  
frequencies and signal formats. This is easily done using the ClockBuilder Desktop software (see "3.1.1.  
ClockBuilder™ Desktop Software" on page 18). This GUI based software generates an NVM file, which is used by  
the factory to manufacture custom parts. Each custom part is marked with a unique part number identifying the  
specific configuration (e.g., Si5338C-A00100-GM). Consult your local sales representative for more details on  
ordering a custom Si5338.  
3.5.2. Creating a New Configuration for RAM  
2
Any Si5338 device can be configured by writing to registers in RAM through the I C interface. A non-factory  
programmed device must be configured in this manner.  
The first step is to determine all the register values for the required configuration. This can be accomplished by one  
of two methods.  
1. Create a device configuration (register map) using ClockBuilder Desktop (v3.0 or later; see "3.1.1.  
ClockBuilder™ Desktop Software" on page 18).  
a. Configure the frequency plan.  
b. Configure the output driver format and supply voltage.  
c. Configure frequency and/or phase inc/dec (if desired).  
d. Configure spread spectrum (if desired).  
e. Configure for zero-delay mode (if desired, see "3.10.6. Zero-Delay Mode" on page 28).  
f. If needed go to the Advanced tab and make additional configurations.  
g. Save the configuration using the Options > Save Register Map File or Options > Save C code Header.  
2. Create a device configuration, register by register, using the Si5338 Reference Manual.  
3.5.3. Writing a Custom Configuration to RAM  
Writing a new configuration (register map) to the RAM consists of pausing the LOL state-machine, writing new  
values to the IC accounting for the write-allowed mask (see the Si5338 Reference Manual, “10. Si5338 Registers”),  
validating the input clock or crystal, locking the PLL to the input with the new configuration, restarting the LOL  
state-machine, and calibrating the VCO for robust operation across temperature. The flow chart in Figure 9  
enumerates the details:  
Note: The write-allowed mask specifies which bits must be read and modified before writing the entire register byte (a.k.a.  
read-modify-write). “AN428: Jump Start: In-System, Flash-Based Programming for Silicon Labs’ Timing Products” illus-  
trates the procedure defined in Section 3.5.2 with ANSI C code.

3.5.4. Writing a Custom Configuration to NVM  
Control & Memory  
An alternative to ordering an Si5338 with a custom NVM  
configuration is to use the field programming kit  
(Si5338/56-PROG-EVB) to write directly to the NVM of  
a “blank” Si5338. Since NVM is an OTP memory, it can  
only be written once. The default configuration can be

(see “3.5.2. Creating a New Configuration for RAM”).  
3.6. Status Indicators  
Figure 11. INTR Pin with Required Pull-Up  
A logic-high interrupt pin (INTR) is available to indicate  
a loss of signal (LOS) condition, a PLL loss of lock  
(PLL_LOL) condition, or that the PLL is in process of  
acquiring lock (SYS_CAL). PLL_LOL is held high when  
the input frequency drifts beyond the PLL tracking  
range. It is held low during all other times and during a  
POR or soft_reset. SYS_CAL is held high during a POR  
or SOFT reset so that no chattering occurs during the  
locking process. As shown in Figure 10, a status  
register at address 218 is available to help identify the  
exact event that caused the interrupt pin to become  
active. Register 247 is the sticky version of Register  
218, and Register 6 is the interrupt mask for Register  
218.  
3.7. Output Enable  
There are two methods of enabling and disabling the  
output drivers: Pin control, and I C control.  
2
3.7.1. Enabling Outputs Using Pin Control  
The Si5338K/L/M devices provide an Output Enable pin  
(OEB) as shown in Figure 12. Pulling this pin high will  
turn all outputs off. The state of the individual drivers  
when turned off is controllable. If an individual output is  
set to always on, then the OEB pin will not have an  
effect on that driver. Drive state options and always on  
are explained in “3.7.2. Enabling Outputs through the  
2
I C Interface”.

3.7.2. Enabling Outputs through the I C Interface  
Figure 10. Status Register

Output enable can be controlled through the I C  
interface. As shown in Figure 13, register 230[3:0]  
allows control of each individual output driver. Register  
230[4] controls all drivers at once. When register 230[4]  
is set to disable all outputs, the individual output  
enables will have no effect. Registers 110[7:6], 114[7:6],  
118[7:6], and 112[7:6] control the output disabled state  
as tri-state, low, high, or always on. If always on is set,  
that output will always be on regardless of any other  
register or chip state. In addition, the always on mode  
must be selected for an output that is fed back in a Zero  
Delay application.  
Figure 11 shows a typical connection with the required  
pull-up resistor to VDD.  
2
3.6.1. Using the INTR Pin in Systems with I C  
The INTR output pin is not latched and thus it should not  
be a polled input to an MCU but an edge-triggered  
interrupt. An MCU can process an interrupt event by  
reading the sticky register 247 to see what event  
caused the interrupt. The same register can be cleared  
by writing zeros to the bits that were set. Individual  
interrupt bits can be masked by register 6[4:0].  
2
3.6.2. Using the INTR Pin in Systems without I C  
The INTR pin also provides a useful function in systems  
that require a pin-controlled fault indicator. Pre-setting  
the interrupt mask register allows the INTR pin to  
become an indicator for a specific event, such as LOS  
and/or LOL. Therefore, the INTR pin can be used to  
indicate a single fault event or even multiple events.

SSTL, it is required to have load circuitry as shown in  
“AN408: Termination Options for Any-Frequency, Any-  
Output Clock Generators and Clock Buffers”. The  
Si5338 EVB has layout pads that can be used for this  
purpose. When testing for output driver current with  
LVPECL the same layout pads can be used to  
implement the LVPECL bias resistor of 130 (2.5 V  
VDDx) or 200 (3.3 V VDDx). See the schematic in the  
Si5338-EVB data sheet and AN408 for additional

rate is limited by the I C bus speed. The magnitude of  
the frequency step has 0 ppm error. Frequency steps  
are seamless and glitchless.

If a frequency increment/decrement command causes  
the MultiSynth output frequency to exceed the  
maximum/minimum limits, then a glitch on the output is  
likely to occur. The max frequency of a MultiSynth  
output that is using frequency increment/decrement is  
Fvco/8, and the minimum frequency is 5 MHz.  
The soft reset performs the following sequence:  
1. All outputs turn off except if programmed to be  
always on.  
2. Internal calibrations are done and MultiSynths are  
initialized.

aligned (if Rn = 1).  
The Si5338 has a digitally-controlled glitchless phase  
increment and decrement feature that allows adjusting  
the phase of each output clock in relation to the other  
output clocks. The phase of each output clock can be  
adjusted with an accuracy of 20 ps over a range of  
±45 ns. Setting of the step size and control of the phase

3.10. Features of the Si5338  
The Si5338 offers several features and functions that  
are useful in many timing applications. The following  
paragraphs describe in detail the main features and  
typical applications. All of these features can be easily  
configured using the ClockBuilder Desktop. See "3.1.1.

3.10.4. Output Synchronization  
Si5338  
Upon power up or a soft_reset the Si5338 synchronizes  
the output clocks. With normal output polarity (no output  
clock inversion), the Si5338 synchronizes the output  
clocks to the falling, not rising edge. Synchronization at  
the rising edge can be done by inverting all the clocks  
that are to be synchronized.

3.10.5. Output R Divider  
When the requested output frequency of a channel is  
below 5 MHz, the Rn (n = 0,1,2,3) divider needs to be  
set and enabled. This is automatically done in register  
maps generated by the ClockBuilder Desktop. When  
the Rn divider is active the step size range of the  
frequency increment and decrement function will  
decrease by the Rn divide ratio. The Rn divider can be  
set to {1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32}.

3.10.7. Spread Spectrum  
Non-unity settings of R0 will affect the Finc/Fdec step  
size at the MultiSynth0 output. For example, if the  
MultiSynth0 output step size is 2.56 MHz and R0 = 8,  
the step size at the output of R0 will be 2.56 MHz  
divided by 8 = .32 MHz. When the Rn divider is set to  
non-unity, the initial phase offset of the CLKn output with  
respect to other CLKn outputs is not guaranteed.  
To help reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), the  
Si5338 supports spread spectrum modulation. The  
output clock frequencies can be modulated to spread  
energy across a broader range of frequencies, lowering  
system EMI. The Si5338 implements spread spectrum  
using its patented MultiSynth technology to achieve  
previously unattainable precision in both modulation  
rate and spreading magnitude as shown in Figure 16.  
3.10.6. Zero-Delay Mode

Through I C control, the Spread spectrum can be  
The Si5338 supports an optional zero delay mode of  
operation for applications that require minimal input-to-  
output delay. In this mode, one of the device output  
clocks is fed back to the feedback input pin (IN4 or IN5/  
IN6) to implement an external feedback path which  
nullifies the delay between the reference input and the  
output clocks. Figure 15 shows the Si5338 in a typical  
zero-delay configuration. It is generally recommended  
that Clk3 be LVDS and that the feedback input be pins 5  
and 6. For the differential input configuration to pins 5  
and 6, see Figure 3 on page 19. The zero-delay mode  
combined with the phase increment/decrement feature  
allows unprecedented flexibility in generating clocks  
with precise edge alignment.  
applied to any output clock, any clock frequency, and  
any spread amount from ±0.1% to ±2.5% center spread  
and –0.1% to –5% down spread.  
The spreading rate is limited to 30 to 63 kHz.  
The Spread Spectrum is generated digitally in the output  
MultiSynths which means that the Spread Spectrum  
parameters are virtually independent of process,  
voltage and temperature variations. Since the Spread  
Spectrum is created in the output MultiSynths, through  
2
I C each output channel can have independent Spread

Spectrum parameters. Without the use of I C (NVM  
download only) the only supported Spread Spectrum  
parameters are for PCI Express compliance composing  
100 MHz clock, 31.5 kHz spreading frequency with the  
choice of the spreading.  
Rev A devices provide native support for both down and  
center spread. Center spread is supported in rev B  
devices by up-shifting the nominal frequency and using  
down-spread register parameters. Consult the Si5338  
Reference Manual for details.  
Note: If you currently use center spread on a revision A and  
would like to migrate to a revision B device, you must  
generate a new register map using either ClockBuilder  
Desktop or the equations in the Si5338 Reference  
Manual. Center spread configurations for Revisions A  
and B are not compatible.

4.1. Free-Running Clock Generator  
Using the internal oscillator (Osc) and an inexpensive  
external crystal (XTAL), the Si5338 can be configured  
as a free-running clock generator for replacing high-end  
and long-lead-time crystal oscillators found on many  
printed circuit boards (PCBs). Replacing several crystal  
oscillators with a single IC solution helps consolidate the  
bill of materials (BOM), reduces the number of  
suppliers, and reduces the number of long-lead-time  
components on the PCB. In addition, since crystal  
oscillators tend to be the least reliable aspect of many  
systems, the overall FIT rate improves with the  
elimination of each oscillator.

4.3. Configurable Buffer and Level Transla-  
tor  
In other cases, it is useful to generate an output  
frequency that is synchronous (or phase-locked) to  
another clock frequency. The Si5338 is the ideal choice  
for generating up to four clocks with different  
frequencies with a fixed phase relationship to an input  
reference. Because of its highly precise frequency  
synthesis, the Si5338 can generate all four output  
frequencies with 0 ppm error to the input reference. The  
Si5338 is an ideal choice for applications that have  
traditionally required multiple stages of frequency  
synthesis to achieve complex frequency translations.  
Examples are in broadcast video (e.g., 148.5 MHz to  
148.351648351648 MHz), WAN/LAN applications (e.g.  
155.52 MHz to 156.25 MHz), and Forward Error  
Correction (FEC) applications (e.g., 156.25 MHz to  
161.1328125 MHz). Using the input reference selectors,  
the Si5338 can select from one of four inputs (IN1/IN2,  
IN3, IN4, and IN5/IN6). Figure 18 shows the Si5338  
Using the output selectors, the synthesis stage can be  
entirely bypassed allowing the Si5338 to act as a  
configurable clock buffer/divider with level translation  
and selectable inputs. Because of its highly selectable  
configuration, virtually any combination is possible. The  
configurable output drivers allow four differential  
outputs, eight single-ended outputs, or a combination of  
both. Figure 19 shows the Si5338 configured as a  
flexible clock buffer.

Notes:  
General  
1. All dimensions shown are in millimeters (mm) unless otherwise noted.  
2. Dimensioning and Tolerancing per ANSI Y14.5M-1994 specification.  
3. This Land Pattern Design is based on the IPC-7351 guidelines.  
4. Connect the center ground pad to a ground plane with no less than five vias. These 5 vias should have a length of no  
more than 20 mils to the ground plane. Via drill size should be no smaller than 10 mils. A longer distance to the ground  
plane is allowed if more vias are used to keep the inductance from increasing.  
Solder Mask Design  
5. All metal pads are to be non-solder mask defined (NSMD). Clearance between the solder mask and the metal pad is  
to be 60 µm minimum, all the way around the pad.  
Stencil Design  
6. A stainless steel, laser-cut and electro-polished stencil with trapezoidal walls should be used to assure good solder  
paste release.  
7. The stencil thickness should be 0.125 mm (5 mils).  
8. The ratio of stencil aperture to land pad size should be 1:1 for all perimeter pins.  
9. A 2x2 array of 1.0 mm square openings on 1.25 mm pitch should be used for the center ground pad.  
Card Assembly  
10. A No-Clean, Type-3 solder paste is recommended.  
11. The recommended card reflow profile is per the JEDEC/IPC J-STD-020 specification for Small Body Components.
