2.  Quick Start and Jumper Defaults

1. Install ClockBuilder Pro desktop software from EVB support web page given in Section 1.
2. Connect the USB cable from Si5383-EVB to PC with ClockBuilder Pro software installed.
3. Connect the SIOCXO1-EB to the reference input using the included SMA cable.
4. Leave the jumpers as installed from the factory, and launch the ClockBuilder Pro software.
5. You can use ClockBuilder Pro to create, download, and run a frequency plan on the Si5383-EVB.
6. For the Si5383 data sheet, go to
