UG364: SiTCXO1-EVB Evaluation Board
User's Guide
The Silicon Labs SiTCXO1-EVB (kit) is used to help evaluate Silicon Labs Jitter Attenu-
ator and Network Synchronization products for Stratum 3/3E, IEEE 1588 and G.8262
SyncE applications. This board is often used with the Si5348 network synchronizer
clock as the reference input. This board can come with an option of one of two Rakon
TCXOs. U1, option 1 is Rakon's E6518LF 5 mm x 7 mm part (pictured below) and U2,
option2 is Rakon's smaller RPT5032A 3.2 mm x 5 mm part.
