When measure differential signal phase noise/jitter performance, an balun must  be added to convert differential signal to single end then connect to equipment(eg E5052B). Never connect one of differential signal end to equipment directly, which will has big difference with reality performance. 

For example, Si545's real jitter performance of LVPECL 156.25MHz is about 90fs(12KHz~20MHz ). But if you connect one of differential end to E5052B then the test result of jitter is about 250fs.

This article contains a schematic review checklist and layout recommendations, which can be used as an initial step in evaluating a Si5338 schematic design and layout design.

Si53156 is internal termination for maximum integration which the output buffers in Si53156 are push-pull buffers that integrate the 33-ohms series resistance and the 50 ohms to ground. Please refer to AN781 Alternative Output Termination for Si5211x, Si5213x, Si5214x, Si5216x,Si522xx, Si5310x, Si5311x, and Si5315x PCIe Clock Generator and Buffer Families

For inputs, they are not self-biased. The buffer also expects a DC coupling HCSL input. A bias voltage needs to be provided if the input is AC coupled.

The I2C of Si5332 is compatible with rev6 of the I2C specification, including Standard, Fast, and Fast+ modes. That standard and user manual is here: https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/UM10204.pdf
