Description

The Si5347-EVB is used for evaluating the Si5347
Quad Any-Frequency Jitter Attenuating Clock Multiplier.
The Si5347 contains 4 independent DSPLLs in a single
IC with programmable jitter attenuation bandwidth on a
per DSPLL basis. The Si5347-EVB supports 4
independent input clocks and 8 independent output
clocks via on-board SMA connectors. The Si5347-EVB
can be controlled and configured via a USB connection
to a host PC running Silicon Labs’ next generation
Clock Builder Pro

 (CBPro

) software tool. Test points

are provided on-board for external monitoring of supply
voltages.

EVB Features

Powered from USB port or ex5 V power 
supply via screw terminals.

Onboard 48 MHz XTAL allows standalone or 
holdover mode of operation on the Si5347.

CBPro

 GUI programmable V

DD

 supply allows 

device supply voltages of 3.3, 2.5, or 1.8 V.

CBPro GUI programmable V

DDO

 supplies allow each 

of the 8 outputs to have its own 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

Status LEDs for power supplies and control/status 
signals of Si5347.

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