Description

The Si5342-EVB is used for evaluating the Si5342
Any-Frequency, Any-Output, Jitter-Attenuating Clock
Multiplier. The Si5342 combines 4th generation DSPLL
and Multisynth

 technologies to enable any-frequency

clock generation for applications that require the highest
level of jitter performance. The Si5342-EVB can be
controlled and configured using the ClockBuilder Pro

(CB Pro

) software tool.

EVB Features

Powered from USB port or external power supply.

Onboard 48 MHz XTAL or Reference SMA Inputs 
allow holdover mode of operation on the Si5342.

CBPro

 GUI programmable V

DD

 supply allows 

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

CBPro

 GUI programmable V

DDO

 supplies allow 

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

CBPro

 GUI allows control and measurement of 

voltage, current, and power of V

DD

 and all 4 V

DDO

 

supplies.

Status LEDs for power supplies and control/status 
signals of Si5342.

SMA connectors for input clocks, output clocks, and 
optional external timing reference clock.
