  • Page 4: Functional Description

    The device on the board accepts any input frequency from 1kHz to 1GHz. The RC22308A/RC32308A 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.

    RC22308A/RC32308A Evaluation Board Manual 1.2.5. Clock Inputs The RC32308A can accept two 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. The evaluation board allows for terminations across to a GND source at each input connection.

    RC22308A/RC32308A Evaluation Board Manual 1.2.8. On-board EEPROM The EVB also supports an external EEPROM IC for loading of an RC22308A/RC32308A 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.

    1.2.9. GPIO DIP Switch Selectors The EVB has one DIP switch set (SW1) to support GPIO pins on the RC22308A/RC32308A device. GPIOs 0-3 can support a two-level input (low/high). The middle position of the DIP switches leaves the pin open so the GPIOs can be controlled with internal pull-up and pull-down resistors.
