Description
The Saturn Evaluation Platform is used for evaluating 
a broad family of both NetSync and jitter attenuator
devices.
These supported clock devices are built on sixth-
generation MultiSynth™ technology. All devices
supported by this EVB feature both an on-chip crystal
oscillator (XO) and an on-chip BAW oscillator (BOSC)
that act in tandem as a high-frequency dual reference
to provide the lowest phase noise floor for both sub-
10 kHz (close-in phase noise) and across the rest of the
integration band. NetSync devices come with many
features to support IEEE 1588/PTP applications. They
can be used in conjunction with AccuTime software,
which runs on a separate host processor, to provide a
complete IEEE 1588/PTP timing solution.
The Saturn Evaluation Board (EVB) is designed to be
configured by ClockBuilder Pro software, which offers
a GUI for easy evaluation of the clock device. With
ClockBuilder Pro EVB GUI, all that is needed is a 
USB connection to any Windows PC and an external 
5 V supply.
