CAUTION: The evaluation board is designed so that the
body of the SMA jacks and GND are shorted. Care must
be taken when powering the PCB at potentials other
than GND at 0.0 V and VDD at 3.3 V relative to chassis
GND.
Device Powerdown
The CDR can be powered down via the RESET/CAL
signal. When asserted, the evaluation board draws
minimal current. RESET/CAL is controlled via one
jumper located in the lower left-hand corner of the
evaluation board. RESET/CAL is wired to the signal
post adjacent to the VDD post. For a valid reset to occur
when using external reference clock mode, a proper
external reference clock frequency must be applied as
specified in Table 1. CLKOUT, DATAOUT, DATAIN
CLKOUT, DATAOUT, and DATAIN (all high-speed I/Os)
are wired to the board perimeter on 30 mil (0.030 inch)
50  microstrip lines to the end-launch SMA jacks as
labeled on the PCB. These I/Os are ac coupled to
simplify direct connection to a wide array of standard
test hardware. Because each of these signals are
differential, both the positive (+) and negative (–)
terminals must be terminated to 50 . Terminating only
one side will adversely degrade the performance of the
CDR. The inputs are terminated on the die with 50 
resistors.
Note: The 50  termination is for each terminal/side of a differential signal, thus the differential termination is actually 50  + 50  = 100 .
REFCLK
REFCLK is optional for clock and data recovery within
the Si5013 device. If REFCLK is not used, jumper both
JP15 and JP16. These jumpers pull the REFCLK+ input
to VDD and REFCLK– input to GND, which configures
the device to operate without an external reference.

RATESEL
RATESEL is used to configure the CDR to recover clock
and data at different data rates. RATESEL is an input
controlled via a jumper (JP10) located in the lower lefthand corner of the evaluation board. RATESEL is wired
to the center post (signal post) between VDD and GND.
For example, the OC-12 data rate is selected by
jumping RATESEL to a 1 (VDD).
GND
The evaluation board requires one 3.3 V supply. Supply
filtering is placed on the board to filter typical system
noise components; however, initial performance testing
should use a linear supply capable of supplying the
nominal voltage ±5% dc.
VDD
Power Supply
GND
The evaluation board simplifies characterization of the
Si5013 Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) device by
providing access to all of the Si5013 I/Os. Device
performance can be evaluated by following the “Test
Configuration” section. Specific performance metrics
include input sensitivity, jitter tolerance, jitter generation,
and jitter transfer.
When applied, REFCLK is used to center the frequency
of the DSPLL™ so the device can lock to the data.
Ideally, the REFCLK frequency should be 1/128th,
1/32nd, or 1/16th the VCO frequency and must have a
frequency accuracy of ±100 ppm. Internally, the CDR
automatically recognizes the REFCLK frequency within
one of these three frequency ranges. Typical REFCLK
frequencies are given in Table 1. REFCLK is ac coupled
to the SMA jacks located on the top side of the
evaluation board.

Loss-of-Lock (LOL)
Loss-of-lock (LOL) is an indicator of the relative
frequency between the data and the REFCLK. LOL
asserts when the frequency difference is greater than
±600 ppm. To prevent LOL from de-asserting
prematurely, there is hysterisis in returning from the outof-lock condition. LOL will be de-asserted when the
frequency difference is less than ±300 ppm.
LOL is wired to a test point which is located on the
upper right-hand side of the evaluation board.

Loss-of-signal Alarm Threshold Control
The loss-of-signal alarm (LOS) is used to signal low
incoming data amplitude levels. The programmable
threshold control is set by applying a dc voltage level
from a low-noise voltage source to the LOS_LVL pin.
The LOS_LVL is controllable through the BNC jack J10.
The mapping of the LOS_LVL voltage to input signal
alarm threshold level is shown in Figure 2. The LOS
Threshold to LOS Level is mapped as follows:
V LOS_LVL – 1.5
V LOS = --------------------------------------25
If this function is not used, install jumper to JP1 header
30 mV
15 mV
LOS
Undefined
LOS Disabled
LOS Threshold (mVPP)
40 mV
V SLICE_LVL – 1.5
V SLICE = -------------------------------------------50
If this function is not used, install jumper to JP6 header.
Bit-Error-Rate Alarm Threshold
The bit-error-rate of the incoming data can be monitored
by the BER_ALM pin. When the bit-error-rate exceeds
an externally set threshold level, BER_ALM is asserted.
BER_ALM is brought to a test point located in the upper
right-hand corner of the board. The BER_ALM threshold
level is set by applying a dc voltage to the BER_LVL pin.
BER_LVL is controllable through the BNC jack J12.
Jumper JP7 to disable the BER alarm. Refer to the
“BER Detection” section of the Si5012/Si5013 data
sheet for threshold level programming.
Test Configuration
The three critical jitter tests typically performed on a
CDR device are jitter transfer, jitter tolerance, and jitter
generation. By connecting the Si5013 Evaluation Board
as shown in Figure 3, all three measurements can be
easily made.

When applied, REFCLK should be within ±100 ppm of

Extended LOS Hysteresis Option
An optional LOS Hysteresis Extension circuit is included
on the Si5013-EVB to provide a convenient means of
increasing the amount of LOS Alarm hysteresis when
testing and evaluating the Si5013 LOS functionality.
This simple network will extend the LOS hysteresis to
approximately 6 dB, thereby preventing unnecessary
switching on LOS for low-level DATAIN signals in the
range of 20 mVPPD. Hysteresis is defined as the ratio of
the LOS deassert level (LOSD) and the LOS assert
level (LOSA). The hysteresis in decibels is calculated as
20log(LOSD/LOSA). This circuit is constructed with one
CMOS inverter (U2) and two resistors (R12, R13)
mounted on the underside of the PCB. If desired, this
circuit can be enabled by installing a jumper on JP17
(HYST ENABLE) located near the power entry block.
Data Slicing Level
The slicing level allows optimization of the input crossover point for systems where the slicing level is not at
the amplitude average. The data slicing level can be
adjusted from the nominal cross-over point of the data
by applying a voltage to the SLICE_LVL pin.
Jitter Tolerance: Referring to Figure 3, this test
requires a pattern generator, a clock source
(synthesizer signal source), a modulation source, a jitter
analyzer, a pattern analyzer, and a pulse generator (all
unconnected high-speed outputs must be terminated to
50 ). During this test, the Jitter Analyzer directs the
Modulation Source to apply prescribed amounts of jitter
to the synthesizer source. This “jitters” the pattern
generator timebase which drives the DATAIN ports of
the CDR. The Bit-Error-Rate (BER) is monitored on the
Pattern Analyzer. The modulation (jitter) frequency and
amplitude is recorded when the BER approaches a
specified threshold. The Si5013 limiting amplifier can
also be examined during this test. Simply lower the
amplitude of the incoming data to the minimum value
typically expected at the limiting amplifier inputs
(typically 10 mVPP for the Si5013 device).
Jitter Generation: Referring to Figure 3, this test
requires a pattern generator, a clock source
(synthesizer signal source), a jitter analyzer, and a
pulse generator (all unconnected high-speed outputs
must be terminated to 50 ). During this test, there is no
modulation of the Data Clock, so the data that is sent to
the CDR is jitter free. The Jitter Analyzer measures the
Rev. 1.0

Si5013-EVB
must be terminated to 50 ). During this test, the Jitter
Analyzer modulates the data pattern and data clock
reference. The modulated data clock reference is
compared with the CLKOUT of the CDR. Jitter on
CLKOUT relative to the jitter on the data clock reference
is plotted versus modulation frequency at predefined
jitter amplitudes.
RMS and peak-to-peak jitter on the CDR CLKOUT.
Thus, any jitter measured is jitter generated by the
CDR.
Jitter Transfer: Referring to Figure 3, this test requires a
pattern generator, a clock source (synthesizer signal
source), a modulation source, a jitter analyzer, and a
pulse generator (all unconnected high-speed outputs
