Description
Features
This document describes the operation of the Skyworks
Si5xx5x7-EVB evaluation board to evaluate both
Skyworks' Si55x and Si595 VCXOs and Si53x and
Si590/591 XOs. The Si53x/55x/59x devices use
Skyworks' advanced DSPLL® circuitry to provide a lowjitter clock at high frequencies. The Si55x/Si53x/59x ICbased device is factory configurable for a wide variety of
user specifications including frequency, supply voltage,
output, and tuning slope. Specific configurations are
factory programmed into the Si55x/Si53x/59x at time of
shipment, thereby eliminating the long lead times
associated with custom oscillators. Si55x/Si53x/59x
samples should be ordered at the same time as the
Si5xx5x7-EVB since the EVB does not come with the
device. This allows end users maximum flexibility.
Skyworks can solder down samples when ordering an
EVB; please specify when ordering.

1. Functional Description
1.1. Power Supply
The Si5xx5x7-EVB provides access to all signals for
configuring and operating the device. This board allows
evaluation of the Si55x/595 VCXO device either by itself
(open-loop) or within a prototype PLL (closed-loop). The
performance of the Si53x/590/591 XO device can also
be evaluated on this board (the Vc port is not used for
XO devices).
The Si55x/Si53x/59x devices support operation from
nominal voltages of 1.8, 2.5, and 3.3 V. Review the
device data sheet and part number for allowed
configurations of output buffer type and device power
supply.

The voltage control (VC) input of the Si55x/595 device is
conveniently accessible through an SMA jack (J3) but
can also be driven (and observed) through 100 milcentered posts (JP4). For prototyping purposes, two
0603 solder pads are located near the device VC input
(R3 and C3). A traditional PLL might use these as a
single-time-constant low-pass filter (RC filter). The EVB
is shipped with a 0 resistor soldered at R3; C3 is left
open. The voltage control input is not used for XO
devices.

1.3. Output Clock
Because the Si55x/Si53x/59x devices can support an
LVPECL buffer type (in addition to LVDS and CMOS),
pulldown resistors (R1 and R2) are available for proper
output biasing. For LVPECL buffers, biasing can be
achieved through a variety of equivalent circuits; the
Si5xx5x7-EVB allows for 130 pulldown resistors. After
the output biasing, the high-speed outputs are dcblocked for connection to differently biased inputs, such
as standard test equipment or a phase detector EVB.
Please review “1.4. Preparing the EVB” for non-LVPECL
devices.

Notes:
1. With jumper(s) installed, signal(s) are driven low.
2. With jumper(s) not installed, signal(s) are pulled high.
1.4. Preparing the EVB
By default, the evaluation board is set up to accept
LVPECL configured devices. This configuration uses
130 pull-down resistors to bias the LVPECL output
stage. If an LVDS, CMOS, or CML based device is to
be installed, the output biasing resistors, R1 and R2,
should be removed.
