The device is a dual PLL jitter attenuator and is classified within the clock generator, PLL, and frequency synthesizer category. It is presented as an IC that can be used where precise timing signals and reduced clock jitter are important for system operation.

Key Features

• Dual phase-locked loop architecture for clock and timing applications
• Jitter attenuation function associated with the dual PLL timing architecture
• Integrated circuit implementation for board-level clock generation and frequency synthesis
• Skyworks Solutions Inc. device classified in the clock/timing category
• Manufacturer part number SI5396K-A-GM

Applications

• Clock generation for digital processing boards and embedded system modules
• Timing synchronization between subsystems that require low-jitter reference clocks
• Frequency synthesis for communication and networking equipment using PLL-based clock sources

Design & Procurement Notes

Designers selecting the SI5396K-A-GM should treat it as a dual-PLL IC timing device and verify the complete electrical, frequency, and timing specifications from the manufacturer's documentation before finalizing the clock architecture. Important layout considerations include routing of reference and feedback signals, isolation of sensitive PLL nodes from digital noise, and placement of the device relative to the loads it supplies. Because the part is a dual PLL jitter attenuator IC, confirm that the required output clock formats, loop settings, and supply conditions are compatible with the target system before ordering.
