Introduction
The 9SQ440 Evaluation Board (EVB) is designed to help users evaluate the 9SQ440 PCIe Gen5 clock synthesizer. When the EVB is
connected via USB to the user's computer running the Renesas 9SQ440
control frequencies with best-in-class performance. The 9SQ440 offers features of 7 pairs of 100MHz differential LP-HCSL outputs, 9 MXCLK
pairs of differential outputs multiplexable between 100MHz/25MHz, and 3 pairs of 25MHz outputs. 9 selectable SMBus addresses available.

  • Page 1 9SQ440 Evaluation Board User Manual Introduction The 9SQ440 Evaluation Board (EVB) is designed to help users evaluate the 9SQ440 PCIe Gen5 clock synthesizer. When the EVB is connected via USB to the user’s computer running the Renesas 9SQ440 Timing Commander™...
  • Page 2 Active low on OE# pins for enabling 100M outputs. OE# Pins Control 1 = disable output; 0 = enable output. DIP switch device is used to setup 9SQ440 device condition. See DIP Switch Figure in below for detail. SMBus Connector SMBus connector for SCLK and SDATA pins.
  • Page 3: Board Power Supply

    Software Connection Renesas Timing Commander Software can control the 9SQ440 on the board. Timing Commander is compatible using the USB connector or an Aardvark adapter as optional. Timing Commander displays a block diagram for entering the configuration and allows control features into the 9QS440 on the board.

    Platform Time Connectors The 9SQ440 offers 25MHz differential outputs for platform time clock. The 25MHz frequency can be used to communicate to another 9SQ440 device, keeping the 25MHz frequency the same on all devices. This feature ensures the CPU time stamp counter (TSC) is the same on all devices with the frequency lock.
  • Page 5 Output OE Pin Control The 9SQ440 has two methods for enabling and disabling outputs. The evaluation board offers 7 OE# pins for 9SQ440 in hardware control. There are 3 positions using a jumper to apply either 3-2 on OE# pin to pull-low as output enable, or 2-1 on OE# pin to pull-high as output disable.
  • Page 6: Dip Switch Control

    DIP Switch Control The DIP switch (SW1) connects to pins on the 9SQ440 devices. The middle position leaves the pin open. This is the default for each switch. Move to the “+” side to pull the pin high and move to the “-” side to pull the pin low.
  • Page 7 Switch 6 = No Connect.  Switch 7 = PWRGDR: Connects to the PWRGD pin. The main purpose of this switch is to set 9SQ440 operated in a normal operational  mode as this switch to set High or in power-down mode as this switch to set Low. Set as High to be default on evaluation board.
