5. Functional Description
The Si5365/66-EVB, Si5367/68-EVB, Si5369-EVB, and DSPLLsim software allow for a complete and simple
evaluation of the functions, features, and performance of the Si536x Any-Frequency Precision Clocks.
5.1. Narrowband versus Wideband Operation
This document describes three evaluation boards: one for the Si5365 and Si5366, another for the Si5367 and
Si5368, and a third for the Si5369. The first evaluation board is for pin controlled clock parts, the second is for clock
parts that are to be controlled by an MCU over a serial port, and the third is for a very low loop bandwidth device
that is also controlled by an MCU. Two of the boards supports two parts: one that is wideband (the Si5365 and the
Si5367) and the one that is narrowband (the Si5366 and the Si5368). The third board only supports the low loop
bandwidth narrowband Si5369. The narrowband parts other than the Si5369 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.
To evaluate Si5365 device operation using the Si5365/66-EVB, the RATE[1:0] pins must be set to HH using the
jumper provided. To evaluate Si5367 device operation using the Si5367/68-EVB, the Precision Clock EVB
Software should be configured for wideband mode. For details, see the Precision Clock EVB Software
documentation that can be found on the enclosed distribution CD.
5.2. Block Diagram
Figure 2 is a block diagram of the evaluation board. The MCU communicates to the host PC over a USB
connection. The MCU controls and monitors the Si536x through the CPLD. The CPLD, among other tasks,
translates the signals at the MCU voltage level of 3.3 V to the Si536x's voltage level, which is nominally 3.3, 2.5, or
1.8 V. The user has access to all of the Si536x's pins using the various jumper settings as well as through the host
PC via the MCU and CPLD.
