Evaluation of Silicon Laboratories' Si5xx Single/Dual Frequency XO/VCXO Voltage control (VC) input port (Si515, Si516) Supports frequencies up to 1.4 GHz (using Si53x/55x) Dual footprint supports 3.2 x 5 or 5 x 7 mm Note: The Si5xx-EVB is not populated with an Si5xx XO or VCXO. These devices must be ordered separately. Go to www.silabs.com/VCXOPartnumber to configure a device and/or to order samples.

Introduction This document describes the operation of the Silicon Laboratories Si5xx evaluation kit. The Si5xx-EVB kit refers to the evaluation board hardware intended for customer evaluation of the Si5xx single/dual frequency XO/VCXO. The Si5xx-EVB kit contains the following: Si5xx-EVB Hardware Si5xx-EVB User Guide (this document) The Si5xx-EVB evaluation board can be used to evaluate all the single and dual frequency Si5xx XO/VCXOs offered by Silicon Laboratories: Table 1.

Quick Start 1. Install an Si5xx device on the board. 2. Verify the jumper settings are correct. 3. Connect external power cable to the EVB (set voltage according to how the part was ordered). 2 Rev. 0.2 Si5xx-EVB 2. Top/Bottom Views of Board p Figure 1.

This evaluation board assembly provides access to all signals for operating the device. The Si5xx-EVB schematics, bill of material, and PCB layouts are included as sections 4, 5, and 6, respectively. Figure 2 provides a block diagram for the board.

Si5xx-EVB Functional Block Diagram 3.1. Power Supply The Si5xx-EVB accepts either an external supply of 1.8, 2.5, or 3.3 V at connector J1. (Insure the voltage range of the DUT is obeyed, and it is also good practice to set a current limit on the power supply). 3.2. Jumpers There are two jumpers on the Si5xx-EVB as listed in Table 2. The board default is to have no jumpers. Table 2.

Si5xx-EVB Voltage Control Signal An external voltage control signal may be applied to the control voltage modulation input at the J12 header (VC). This voltage supplies the control voltage or voltage modulation input to the DUT. See Section 3.2 on how to configure the jumpers and VC enable resistors (R6 and R7). 3.4. Output Terminations The Si5xx-EVB can support four different output formats: CMOS, LVPECL, LVDS, and HCSL. There are output resistors that are needed to accompany each format. Table 3 shows which resistors are needed for each output: Table 3.
