Si5365/66-EVB
Si5367/68-EVB
2 Rev. 0.4
2. Applications
The Si5365/66/67/68 Any-Rate Precision Clocks have a comprehensive feature set, including any-rate frequency
synthesis, multiple clock inputs, multiple clock outputs, alarm and status outputs, hitless switching between input
clocks, programmable output clock signal format (LVPECL, LVDS, CML, CMOS), output phase adjustment
between output clocks, and output phase adjustment between all output clocks and the selected reference input
clock (phase increment/decrement). For more details, consult the Silicon Laboratories timing products website at
www.silabs.com/timing.
Both evaluation boards (EVBs) have a Silicon Laboratories MCU (C8051F340) that supports USB communications
with a PC host. For the pin controlled parts (Si5365 and Si5366), the pin settings of the devices are determined by
the MCU and the PC resident software that is provided with the EVB. For the MCU controlled parts (Si5367 and
Si5368), the devices are controlled and monitored through the serial port (either SPI or I
2
C). A CPLD sits between
the MCU and the Any-Rate Precision Clock device that performs voltage level translation and stores the pin
configuration data for the pin controlled devices. Jumper plugs are provided so that the user can bypass the MCU/
CPLD to manually control the pin controlled devices. Ribbon headers and SMA connectors are included so that
external clock in, clock out and status pins can be easily accessed by the user. For the MCU controlled devices
(Si5367 and Si5368), the user also has the option of bypassing the MCU and controlling the parts from an external
serial device. On-board termination is included so that the user can evaluate either single-ended or differential as
well as ac or dc coupled clock inputs and outputs. A separate DUT (device under test) power supply connector is
included so that the Any-Rate Precision Clocks can be run at either 1.8 or 2.5 V, while the USB MCU remains at
3.3 V. LEDs are provided for convenient monitoring of key status signals.
For more detailed information about these devices, refer to the Any-Rate Precision Clock Family Reference
Manual.
