VALUATION

Description

The Si53108-EVB can be used to evaluate the Si53108-

A01AGM, an 8-output PCIe Gen1/2/3 buffer that can

operate in either fanout or zero delay mode.

10-inch traces to evaluate signal integrity

The signal traces of the input and outputs have a

single-ended impedance of 50 ohms, and differential

impedance of 100 ohms.

The series resistance on the outputs are set to

match to this impedance design.

DC pin controls per data sheet specification.

Ability to measure input to output propagation delay.

Ability to measure PCIe clock jitter.

Ability to program features of Si53108-A01AGM via

C interface.

Si53108-EVB 2. Input and Power Supply Sequencing The Si53108-A01AGM should be powered up with supply at both the VDD and VDD_IO nodes (at the jumpers available on the EVB). A 100MHz or 133MHz HCSL input clock should be applied to pins 8 and 9. There is no internal or on-board resistive termination, therefore HCSL termination needs to be provided at the input if needed by the driver.
