    3. Leave the jumpers as installed from the factory and launch the Si5356 configuration software by clicking on Start Programs  Silicon Laboratories  ClockBuilder Desktop Software. 4. Click on the “ClockBuilder Desktop” to configure the Si5356 using the graphical user interface.
  • Page 3 2.2. Inputs The Si5356 EVB provides two reference options - using the on-board XTAL or an external reference. Note: Si5356-EVB Rev 1.0 does not support synchronous operation using the CLKIN input. This feature will be supported in future revisions. 2.2.1. External Input reference An SMA connector (CLKIN) is provided to receive an external single-ended CMOS signal.

    3. After the installation is complete, click on Start  Programs  Silicon Laboratories  ClockBuilder Desktop Software. Select one of the items in the menu including the User Guide to get more details on how to run the software.
  • Page 5 Si5356-EVB 3.4. ClockBuilder Desktop Software Uninstall Instructions Close all the programs and help files before running the uninstaller to ensure complete removal of the software. The driver software must be uninstalled separately. See “3.6. USBXpress Driver Installation” for details. To uninstall the software, use the Add and Remove Programs utility in the Control Panel, as shown in Figure 3.
  • Page 6 This provides low-level control of the device with individual 8-bit register accesses. 3.6. USBXpress Driver Installation The EVB uses the Silicon Laboratories' USBXpress driver to allow the EVB to communicate with the computer via USB. The driver is installed after the EVB software is installed. Click Install to run the driver installation. Clicking Cancel will not install any files, and the EVB will not work with the software.
