Description

The Si5338/Si5356 Field Programming Kit provides all
of the tools necessary for writing a new configuration file
to the one-time programmable (OTP) non-volatile
memory (NVM) in the Si5338/Si5356 any-frequency,
any-output clock generator. This user’s guide describes
the procedure for writing to the device NVM.

Field Programming Kit Features

Fully-powered from a single USB port

High-quality and easy-to-use socket

Simple software-based user interface

Status LEDs for Pass or Fail indication
