1. Introduction

This document describes the operation of the Silicon Laboratories Si514/570/571/598/599 evaluation kit. The

Si5xx-PROG-EVB kit refers to the evaluation board hardware and software intended for customer evaluation of the

Si514/570/571/598/599 Any-Frequency I2C programmable XO/VCXO. The Si5xx-EVB kit contains the following:

Si5xx-PROG-EVB Hardware

Programmable Oscillator Software

EVB Driver (USBXpress®)

The software components run on a USB-equipped PC and are described in detail in Section “5. Software Guide”

The Si5xx-PROG-EVB evaluation board can be used to evaluate the Si514, Si570, Si571, Si598, and Si599 I2C

programmable XOs or VCXOs as shown in Table 1. The Si514-PROG-EVB evaluation board can be used to

evaluate the Si514 I2C-programmable XO as shown in Table 1. This evaluation board functions and performs

similar to the Si5xx-PROG-EVB evaluation board.

3.1. Power Supply

The Si5xx-PROG-EVB is pre-configured to accept 5 V from the USB connector at J2. The DUT is powered from

the VDD regulator by default, but could be changed to an external supply introduced through J1. To do this, simply

move jumper J11 from pins 2-3 to 1-2 and apply power to J1. (Ensure the voltage range of the DUT is obeyed, and

it is also good practice to set a current limit on the power supply).

It is also possible for the microcontroller (U9) to adjust the VDD regulator through the software. The microcontroller

has pull-downs configured at P0.0 and P0.1 that grounds R18 and R19, respectively, adjusting VDD_DUT to 1.8,

2.5, or 3.3 V. It is also possible to install jumpers in J5 to manually force a VDD_DUT voltage. Table 2 illustrates the

settings of J5:

3.2. Reset Circuit

The Si5xx-PROG-EVB MCU may be reset by momentarily pressing pushbutton SW1.

3.3. USB

A 4-pin USB receptacle is provided at location J2. The Si5xx-PROG-EVB is compatible with USB Specification 2.0.

When the USB link is in use, the MCU drives LED D4.

3.4. MCU

The Silicon Laboratories MCU, P/N C8051F342, provides the following functions:

Supports I2C communication to the DUT on behalf of the host PC per the Programmable Oscillator Software

Drives a number of status indicator LEDs (see Table 3)

Supplies 3.3 V to peripheral ICs on the motherboard but not to the DUT

Controls DUT power (see Section “3.1. Power Supply” )

Auto-detects the part type (e.g., Si51x/Si57x/Si59x)

There is a provision for in-circuit programming at connector J4. This provision should not be needed in normal

operation. The host PC operates the software and communicates to the Si5xx-PROG-EVB through the MCU via

USB connector J2. When the USB link is in use, LED D4 should flash. The MCU may be reset by momentarily

pressing pushbutton (SW1).

3.5. Status Signals

There are four LEDs on the Si5xxPROG-EVB that report visual status as listed in Table 3 and shown in Figure 1b.

Upon powerup, D1 should be illuminated.

3.6. Jumpers

There are seven jumper locations on the Si5xx-PROG-EVB as listed in Table 4. The default or pre-loaded jumpers

are shown in Figure 1a.

3.7. External I2C Communication

It is possible to use an external I2C controller to communicate with the DUT. To do this, remove the jumpers

installed in J20 and connect the external I2C harness to J20. Grounded pins (1-2, 7-8) are there for grounding the

harness. Pins 4 and 6 can be driven as SCL and SDA, respectively.

3.8. Si5xx-PROG-EVB Digital Control Signal

One normally static digital input control signal routes to the Si5xx: Output Enable or OE. By default, the OE signal

is pulled HIGH on the Si5xx-PROG-EVB and may be pulled low by installing a jumper at J16.

3.9. Si5xx-PROG-EVB Voltage Control Signal

An external voltage control signal may be applied to the control voltage modulation input at the J12 header

(VCO_IN). This voltage supplies the control voltage or voltage modulation input to the DUT. J13 should be installed

in the 2-3 position.

3.10. Output Terminations

The Si5xx-PROG-EVB can support four different output formats: CMOS, LVPECL, LVDS, and HCSL. There are

output resistors that are needed to accompany each format. Table 5 shows which resistors are needed for each

output:

5. Software Guide

The evaluation kit includes software called Programmable Oscillator Software, which consists of several tools:

Programmable Oscillator Calculator—Program new dividers and output frequencies in the device usinglarge

and small frequency programming procedures. This can run with or without an EVB connected to the computer.

Register Programmer—Program individual registers on the oscillator device on the EVB.

Si57x/9x Register Programmer—Program Si570/571/598/599 specific registers.

Register Viewer—View all the register values on the oscillator installed on the EVB.

User Guide—Read more help information on using the software.

Spreadsheet Finder for HS_DIV and N1—Use an Excel spreadsheet to find the Si570/571/598/599 dividers.

No EVB is required.
