  • Page 4: Functional Description

    The device on the board accepts any input frequency from 1kHz to 1GHz. The RC22312A/RC32312A consists of a single APLL and DPLL design that allows for two separate frequency domains. The APLL can be used independently of the DPLL to generate synthesized clocks at the outputs that track the frequency of the input at the XIN pin.

  • Page 7 RC22312A/RC32312A Evaluation Board Manual For proper functionality out of the box, the jumpers on board should be placed to allow the correct voltages at each LDO and domain. The jumpers should be arranged as described in Table 2. Table 2. Default Jumper Configurations...
  • Page 8: Power And Usb-C Connections To Computer Host

    1.2.1. Power and USB-C Connections to Computer Host The EVB is connected to a computer host via the USB3.0 to USB-C cable. It is recommended that the cable is connected to a USB3.0 port. However, a USB2.0 port acceptable due to the RC22312A/RC32312A for I C/SPI communications only.
  • Page 9: Overdrive The Xin With An External Signal

    1.8V. Note: All individual voltage domains run at 1.8V. Only VDDD33_SERIAL and VDDD33_DIA are compatible with 3.3V. Supplying 3.3V to any other domain may cause damage to the RC22312A/RC32312A device. 1.2.2. Overdrive the XIN with an External Signal The RC22312A/RC32312A device can support between 25MHz–80MHz on the XIN (crystal oscillator input) pin.

    RC22312A/RC32312A Evaluation Board Manual 2. Depopulate C2, C3, R398, and R424 to ensure that excess trace is not used. 3. Populate R4 with 50Ω for input termination (ensure signal is >~1.3V amplitude). 4. Place input clock signal at J2 and ensure that the signal is within specification for the XIN pin.
  • Page 11: On-Board Xo Mount

    RC22312A/RC32312A Evaluation Board Manual 1.2.4. On-board XO Mount There are two options on the evaluation board to allow for an XO to be mounted. Positions U27 and U29 are connected in parallel and should only be used one at a time. For an XO to work properly at U27 and U29, the following must be setup (see Figure 10, Figure 11, Figure 12 and Figure 13): Figure 10.

    RC22312A/RC32312A Evaluation Board Manual 5. R405 and R406 can be populated to adjust the common mode voltage of the XO output. Figure 12. XO Schematic 6. Use jumper on J253 – J256 to pull the XO output enable pin high or low depending on the XO datasheet.
  • Page 13: Clock Inputs

    RC22312A/RC32312A Evaluation Board Manual 1.2.5. Clock Inputs The RC32312A can accept four differential clock inputs to be used as a jitter attenuator source. To enable proper connection, make sure the input termination resistor setup corresponds to the input signal that is connected.
  • Page 14: Clock Outputs

    RC22312A/RC32312A Evaluation Board Manual 1.2.6. Clock Outputs Each of the 12 differential output pairs can be programmed to LVDS, HCSL or CMOS logic type. ■ The HCSL mode supports HCSL by default and can be modified to support other modes by changing the amplitude and enabling/disabling the internal termination.
  • Page 15: Serial Connection

    1.2.8. On-board EEPROM The EVB also supports an external EEPROM IC for loading of an RC22312A/RC32312A configuration programmed into the EEPROM as an option. To load the configurations from EEPROM, the EEPROM load enable bit must be set in device OTP. If the enable bit is not set, the EEPROM load will be skipped.

    C controller can cause interference. The FTDI device can be removed from the I C trace path by removing jumpers J61 and J62. This will also disconnect RICBox from communicating with the RC22312A/RC32312A device. Figure 24. FTDI to I C Communication Jumpers R31UH0022EU0100 Rev.1.00...
  • Page 17: Gpio Dip Switch Selectors

    1.2.9. GPIO DIP Switch Selectors The EVB has one DIP switch set (SW1) to support GPIO pins on RC22312A/RC32312A device. GPIOs 0–6 can support a two-level input (low/high). The middle position of the DIP switches leaves the pin open so GPIOs can be controlled with internal pull-up and pull-down resistors.
