UG335: Si5395 Evaluation Board User's
Guide
The Si5395 EVB is used for evaluating the Si5395 Any-Frequency, Any-Output, Jitter-
Attenuating Clock Multiplier. There are two different EVBs for the Si5395. There is a
Grade A and a Grade P board. This user guide is intended for both versions of the
Si5395 EVBS. The device grade and revision is distinguished by a white 1 inch x 0.187
inch label installed in the lower left hand corner of the board. In the example below, the
label "SI5395A-A-EB" indicates the evaluation board has been assembled with an
Si5395 device, Grade A, Revision A, installed. (For ordering purposes only, the terms
“EB” and “EVB” refer to the board and the kit, respectively. For the purpose of this docu-
ment, the terms are synonymous in context.)
KEY FEATURES
• Powered from USB port or external power
supply
• Onboard 48 MHz XTAL or Reference SMA
Inputs allow holdover mode of operation on
the Si5395
• ClockBuilder Pro
®
(CBPro) GUI
programmable VDD supply allows device
to operate from 3.3, 2.5, or 1.8 V
• CBPro GUI programmable VDDO supplies
allow each of the 10 outputs to have its
own power supply voltage selectable from
3.3, 2.5, or 1.8 V
• CBPro GUI-controlled voltage, current, and
power measurements of VDD and all
VDDO supplies
• Status LEDs for power supplies and
control/status signals of Si5395
• SMA connectors for input clocks, output
clocks, and optional external timing
reference clock
