5. Functional Description
The Si531x/2x-EVB software allows for a complete and simple evaluation of the functions, features, and
performance of the Si531x/2x Any-Frequency Precision Clocks.
5.1. Narrowband versus Wideband Operation
This document describes six evaluation boards: Si5316, Si5319, Si5322/23, Si5324, Si5325/26, and Si5327. The
Si5316 and Si5322/23 evaluation boards are for pin controlled clock parts and the Si5319, Si5324, Si5325/26, and
Si5327 are for clock parts that are to be controlled by an MCU over a serial port. The Si5316-EVB, Si5319-EVB,
Si5324-EVB, and Si5327-EVB support only one part, while the two other boards each support two parts: one that is
wideband (the Si5322 and the Si5325) and one that is narrowband (the Si5323 and the Si5326). The narrowband
parts are both capable of operating in the wideband mode, so evaluation of the wideband parts can be done by
using a narrowband part in wideband mode. As such, these evaluation boards are only populated with narrowband
parts.
The Si5324-EVB and Si5327-EVB are special cases because the Si5324 and Si5327 have a lower loop bandwidth
and do not support wideband operation. Because of the lower loop bandwidth, the lock times are increased and the
Si5324 and Si5327 will be more sensitive to XA-XB reference crystal temperature changes. For this reason, a
20 ppm crystal is used on the SI5324-EVB. It should be noted that the 20 ppm crystal is used for its temperature
stability, not its absolute accuracy. If the crystal will undergo significant changes in temperature, it is suggested that
the crystal be thermally insulated by covering it with foam tape or some other means.
To evaluate Si5322 device operation using the Si5322/23-EVB, the RATE[1:0] pins must be set to LL using the
jumpers provided. To evaluate Si5325 device operation using the Si5325/26-EVB, the Precision Clock EVB
Software should be configured for wideband mode. For details, see the Precision Clock EVB Software
documentation.
