Description
Features
The Si5317-EVB User’s Guide provides a complete and
simple evaluation of the functions, features, and
performance of the Si5317.

The Si5317 is a pin-controlled 1:1 jitter-attenuating
clock for high-performance applications.
The Si5317 is based on Silicon Laboratories' 3rdgeneration DSPLL® technology, which provides anyrate jitter attenuation in a highly integrated PLL solution
that eliminates the need for external VCXO and loop
filter components. The DSPLL loop bandwidth is user
programmable, providing jitter performance optimization
at the application level.

1. Functional Block Diagram
A functional block diagram of the EVB is shown in Figure 1. The Si5317-EVB provides alarm and status outputs,
programmable output clock signal format (LVPECL, LVDS, CML, CMOS), selectable loop bandwidths, and ultra
low jitter.
The Si5317 accepts a single clock input ranging from 1 MHz to 710 MHz and generates two equal frequency clock
outputs ranging from 1 to 710 MHz. The clock frequency range and loop bandwidth are selectable from a simple
look-up table. The Si5317-EVB has a differential clock input that is AC terminated to 50  and then AC-coupled to
the Si5317. The two clock outputs are AC-coupled. The XA-XB reference is usually a 114.285 MHz crystal; but
there are provisions for an external XA-XB reference (either differential or single-ended). The device status are
available on a ribbon header and LEDs. Control pins are strapped using jumper headers for device configuration
and various board options. The board can be powered using either external power supplies or from a PC's USB
port. Refer to the Si5317 data sheet for technical details of the device.

2. Si5317-EVB Input and Output Clocks
2.1. Input Clocks
The Si5317-EVB has a differential clock input that is ac terminated and ac coupled before being presented to the
Si5317. If the input clock frequencies are low (below 10 MHz), there are extra considerations that should be taken
into account. The Si5317 has a maximum clock input rise time specification of 11 ns that must be met (see CKNtrf
in the Si5317 data sheet). Also, if the input clock is LVCMOS, it might be advantageous to replace the input
coupling capacitors (C7, C12, C16. and C18) with 0  resistors. When using LVCMOS inputs, the user should
consider removing the ac termination and using source series termination located at the driving source.
Regardless of the input format, if the clock inputs are not approximately 50% duty cycle, it is highly recommended
to avoid ac coupling. For input clocks that are far off of 50% duty cycle, the average value of the signal that passes
through the coupling capacitor will be significantly off of the midpoint between the maximum and minimum value of
the clock signal, resulting in a mismatch with the common mode input threshold voltage (see Vicm, in the Si5317
data sheet).
2.2. XA-XB Reference
To achieve a very low jitter generation and for stability during holdover, the Si5317 requires a stable, low jitter
reference at its XA-XB pins. To that end, the EVB is configured with a 114.285 MHz third overtone crystal
connected between pins 6 and 7 of the Si5317. However, the Si5317-EVB is also capable of using an external XAXB reference oscillator, either differential or single-ended. For details concerning the allowed XA-XB reference
frequencies and their RATE settings, see the Si5317 data sheet. J1 and J2 are the SMA connectors with ac
termination. AC coupling is also provided that needs to be installed at C6 and C8. Table 1 explains the component
changes that are needed to implement an external XA-XB reference oscillator.

2.3. Output Clock
The clock outputs are AC-coupled and are available on SMAs J5, J7, J9 and J11. For LVCMOS outputs, it might be
desirable to replace the AC coupling capacitors (C9,C14,C17, and C20) with 0  resistors. Also, if greater drive
strength is desired for an LVCMOS output, R6 and R10 can be installed.
2.4. Pin Configuration
J12 is the large jumper header in the center left of the board that implements the jumper plugs that configure the
pins of the Si5317. Each pin can be strapped to become either H, M, or L. The H level is achieved by installing a
jumper plug between the appropriate middle row pin and its VDD row pin. L is achieved by installing a jumper plug
between the appropriate middle row pin and its GND row pin. M is achieved by installing no jumper plug.
2.5. Evaluation Board Power
The EVB can be powered from two possible sources: USB or external supplies. A 3.3 V supply is required to run
the LEDs because of their rather large forward drop. The Si5317 power supply can be separated from the 3.3 V
supply so that the Si5317 can be evaluated at a voltage other than 3.3 V. It is important to note that when the USB
supply is being used, the EVB uses the USB port only for power and that the resulting power supply is strictly 3.3 V.
Here are the instructions for the various possibilities:
2.5.1. External Power Supplies
Install a jumper between J16.1 and J16.2 (labeled EXT).
There should be no USB connection.
If the Si5317 is not being operated at 3.3 V, two supplies should be connected to J14. Connect the 3.3 V supply to
J14.1 and J14.2 (labeled 3.3 V and GND). Connect the SI5317 power supply between J14.2 and J14.3 (labeled
GND and DUT).
If the Si5317 is to be operated at 3.3 V, J15 (labeled ONE PWR) can be installed, requiring only one external
supply. Connect 3.3 V power between J14.2 and J14.3 (labeled GND and DUT).
2.5.2. USB Power
Install a jumper between J16.2 and J16.3 (labeled USB).
Install a jumper at J15 (labeled ONE PWR).
With a USB cable, plug the EVB into a powered USB port.
2.5.3. USB 3.3V Power, External Si5317 Power
Install a jumper between J16.2 and J16.3 (labeled USB).
No jumper at J15 (labeled ONE PWR).
Connect the Si5317 power supply between J14.2 and J14.3 (labeled GND and DUT).
