Description

The Si5340-EVB is used for evaluating the Si5340 Low
Jitter Any-Frequency Clock Generator. The Si5340 uses
the patented Multisynth

TM

 technology to generate up to

10 independent clock frequencies each with 0 ppm
synthesis error. The Si5340-EVB has 3 independent
input clocks, an optional feedback input clock for zero
delay mode, and 4 independent output clocks. The
Si5340-EVB can be controlled and configured using the
Clock Builder Pro

TM

 (CB Pro

TM

) software tool.

Features

Powered from USB port or external power supply

Onboard 48 MHz XTAL allows free-run mode of 

operation on the Si5340 or up to 3 input clocks for 
synchronous clocking

Feedback clock input for optional zero delay mode

CBPro

TM

 GUI-programmable VDD supply allows 

device to operate from 3.3, 2.5, or 1.8 V.

CBPro GUI-programmable VDDO supplies allow 

each of the 4 outputs to have its own supply voltage 
selectable from 3.3, 2.5, or 1.8 V

CBPro GUI-controlled voltage, current, and power 

measurements of VDD and all VDDO supplies.

Status LEDs for power supplies and control/status 

signals of Si5340

SMA connectors for input and output clocks
