Description
This document describes the operation of the Silicon
Laboratories Si57x/598/599 evaluation kit. The Si57x-
EVB kit refers to the evaluation board hardware and
software intended for customer evaluation of the Si57x/
598/599 any frequency I
The Si57x-EVB kit contains the following:

The Si57x motherboard is normally operated together
with a Si57x daughterboard populated with an Si570/
571/598/599. This combination is referred to as the
Si57x-EVB assembly that is also used to evaluate the
Si598/599 any frequency I
VCXOs. Software is supplied for evaluation of the
Si57x/598/599 device. All Si570 and Si598 XOs are pin
and register compatible. The Si571 and Si599 VCXOs
are pin and register compatible. The Si57x-EVB
supports all configurations of these devices. The
software components run on a USB-equipped PC and
are described in detail in "4. Software Installation" on
page 12.
Note: Si57x/598/599 samples must be ordered separately
from the Si57x-EVB.

Quick Start
1. Install an assembled Si57x Daughterboard on
to the Si57x Motherboard.
2. Verify Si57x Motherboard jumper settings are
correct. (The default installation assumes a
3.3V OE active high DUT. Otherwise refer to
Table 3.)
3. Connect the USB cable from the EVB to the
host PC.
4. Install the EVB Driver on the host PC.
5. Install the Programmable Oscillator Software
from the CD or zip file.
6. Launch the Programmable Oscillator Software
by clicking StartProgramsSilicon
LaboratoriesProgrammable Oscillator
Software and selecting one of the applications.
Note: The above instructions assume an assembled daugh-
terboard is available. If it is not available, install the
Si57x/598/599 DUT and place proper output compo-
nents on the daughterboard as described in "1.9. Si57x
Daughterboard" on page 9.
