Introduction 

The SiT6722EB

 

evaluation board (EVB) is designed for use with SiTime’s Elite Super-TCXOs in the 10-pin, 

5.0 x 3.2 mm ceramic packages. It enables the evaluation of key functionalities of these precision Super-
TCXOs in all three configuration modes including TCXO, VCTCXO and DCTCXO with I

C. 

EVB Features 

-

 

Support for all three Super-TCXO configuration modes: TCXO, VCTCXO, DCTCXO 

-

 

Probing points for frequency measurements 

-

 

Connector access for controlling the output frequency via I

Connector for current measurement 

SiTime typically ships the EVB with the Super-TCXO mounted using SiTime recommended reflow profile.  
The Super-TCXO device should only be evaluated in its original soldered down state for best signal 
integrity and frequency stability. The device performance is not guaranteed if it is de-soldered and then 
re-soldered either manually or via reflow process.
