Description

The Si5338-EVB is used for evaluating the Si5330/34/
35/38 family of any-frequency, any-output clock
generators and clock buffers.

EVB Features

Fully powered from a single USB port.

Onboard 25 MHz XTAL allows standalone 
asynchronous operation on the Si5334/35/38.

GUI programmable V

DD 

supply allows device to 

operate from 3.3, 2.5, or 1.8 V.

GUI programmable V

DDO

 supplies allow each of the 

four outputs to have its own supply voltage 
selectable from 3.3, 2.5, 1.8, or 1.5 V

GUI-controlled voltage, current, and power 
measurements of V

DD

 and all four V

DDO

 supplies.

Voltage supply jumpers allow easy access for use of 
external supplies or current measurements.

Input signal jumpers allow external control of pin 
functions such as output enable, phase inc/dec, 
frequency inc/dec, and I2C_LSB.
