USB cable
EVB circuit board including an Si5328 and a TCXO reference oscillator.
4. Si5316-EVB, Si5319-EVB, Si5322/23-EVB, Si5324-EVB, Si5325/26-EVB,
Si5327-EVB, and Si5328-EVB Quick Start
1. Download and install the DSPLLsim software package from out web site at:
http://www.silabs.com/products/clocksoscillators/Pages/Si5328-EVB.aspx
2. Connect a USB cable from the EVB to the PC where the software was installed.
3. Install USB driver.
4. Launch software by clicking on

and selecting one of the programs.
5. Functional Description
The Si5328-EVB software allows for a complete and simple evaluation of the functions, features, and performance
of the Si5328 Any-Frequency Precision Clocks.
5.1. 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 Si532x through the CPLD. The CPLD, among other tasks,
translates the signals at the MCU voltage level of 3.3 V to the Si532x's voltage level, which is nominally 3.3, 2.5, or
1.8 V. The user has access to all of the Si532x's pins using the various jumper settings as well as through the host
PC via the MCU and CPLD.
