Si5386 Rev E Data Sheet
12-channel, Any Frequency, Wireless Jitter Attenuating Clock
KEY FEATURES
The Si5386 is a high performance, integer and fractional clock generator for wireless
applications which demand the highest level of integration and phase noise perform-
ance. Based on Silicon Laboratories’ 4th generation DSPLL technology, the Si5386
combines frequency synthesis and jitter attenuation in a highly integrated digital sol-
ution that eliminates the need for external VCXO and loop filter components. A fixed-
frequency crystal that provides frequency stability for free-run and holdover modes is
integrated within the package saving valuable PCB space. This all-digital solution
provides superior performance that is highly immune to external board disturbances
such as power supply noise.
Modern C-RAN remote radio heads and fixed wireless systems require a diverse set
of clocks such as ADC/DAC, RF LOs, eCPRI/CPRI, and Ethernet clocks. The
Si5386 architecture is designed to deliver high-performance JESD204B DCLK and
SYSREF clock pairs and flexible any-rate clocks for non-LTE clocks such as Ether-
net and system reference clocks all from a single IC.
Applications:
• Cloud Radio Access Network RRHs
• Small cells
• Fixed wireless
• Wireless base stations
• Active antenna systems
• Distributed antenna systems
Integrated Reference
• Flexible timing in a single IC
• Generates any combination of output
frequencies from any input frequency
• Input frequency range:
• Differential: 7.68 MHz to 750 MHz
• LVCMOS: 7.68 MHz to 250 MHz
• Output frequency range (Integer):
• Differential: up to 3 GHz
• Output frequency range (fractional):
• Differential: up to 735 MHz
• LVCMOS: up to 250 MHz
• Ultra-low jitter:
• 80 fs typ (12 kHz–20 MHz)

1. Add an R at the end of the OPN to denote tape and reel ordering options.
2. Custom, factory preprogrammed devices are available. Ordering part numbers are assigned by Silicon Labs and the ClockBuilder
Pro software utility. Custom part number format is “Si5386E-Exxxxx-GM” where “xxxxx” is a unique numerical sequence repre-
senting the preprogrammed configuration.
