Description
EVB Features
The Si53159 is a nine port PCIe clock buffer compliant
to the PCIe Gen1, Gen2 and Gen3 standards. The
Si53159 is a 48-pin QFN device that operates on a
3.3 V power supply and can be controlled using SMBus
signals along with hardware control input pins. The
device is spread aware and accepts frequency spread
differential clock frequency range from 100 to 210 MHz.
The connections are described in this document.
This document is intended to be used in conjunction
with the Si53159 device and data sheet for the following
tests:

1.1. Generating DIFF Outputs from the Si53159
Upon power-on of the device if the differential input is applied and input pins are left floating, by default all DIFF
outputs DIFF[0:8] are ON. The input pin headers have clear indication of jumper settings for setting logic low (0)
and high (1) as shown in the figure below, the jumper placed on the middle and left pin will set input OE0 to low;
and jumper placed on the middle and right pin will set input OE0 to high.
The output enable pins can be changed on the fly to observe outputs stopped cleanly. Input functionality is
explained in detail below.
1.1.1. OE [0:8] Inputs
The output enable pins can change on the fly when the device is on. Deasserting (valid low) results in
corresponding DIFF output to be stopped after their next transition with final state low/low. Asserting (valid high)
results in corresponding output that was stopped are to resume normal operation in a glitch-free manner.
Each of the hardware OE [0:8] pins are mapped via I2C to control bit in Control register. The hardware pin and the
Register Control Bit both need to be high to enable the output. Both of these form an “AND” function to disable or
enable the DIFF output. The DIFF outputs and their corresponding I2C control bits and hardware pins are listed in
Table 2.
