VALUATION
EVB Features
Fully powered from a single USB port.
Onboard 25 MHz XTAL allows standalone
asynchronous operation on the Si5334/35/38.
GUI programmable V
operate from 3.3, 2.5, or 1.8 V.
GUI programmable V
four outputs to have its own supply voltage
selectable from 3.3, 2.5, 1.8, or 1.5 V
GUI-controlled voltage, current, and power
measurements of V
Voltage supply jumpers allow easy access for use of
external supplies or current measurements.
Input signal jumpers allow external control of pin
functions such as output enable, phase inc/dec,
frequency inc/dec, and I2C_LSB.

    Si5338-EVB 3. Jumpers The Si5338-EVB is shipped with jumpers installed on the following positions:  VDD—Connects the Si533x VDD pin to the VDD programmable voltage regulator.  VDDO0—Connects the Si533x VDDO0 pin to the VDDO0 programmable voltage regulator.  VDDO1—Connects the Si533x VDDO1 pin to the VDDO1 programmable voltage regulator.
  • Page 4 Si5338-EVB 5. Inputs The Si5338-EVB has six SMA connectors (IN1-IN6) for receiving external signals. Two of the signals are differential, and two are single-ended. 5.1. Differential Inputs (IN1/IN2, IN5/IN6) The differential inputs only need a differential voltage swing of 300 mV to operate, which makes them compatible with most differential signal types.
  • Page 5 The EVB by default is populated to allow evaluating of all output clock formats with the exception of LVPECL outputs. To evaluate LVPECL signals on the Si5338-EVB, a few components must be soldered down on the board. Take CLK0 for example of. Note that CLK0 has R85, R121/R122, R1/R4, R2/R5, R3/R6, C4/C7, and C15/C17 attached to the nets of interest.
