Description

Features

This document describes the operation of the Silicon

Laboratories Si57x/598/599 evaluation kit. The Si57x-

EVB kit refers to the evaluation board hardware and

software intended for customer evaluation of the Si57x/

598/599 any frequency I2C programmable XO/VCXO.

The Si57x-EVB kit contains the following:

Kit Contents

ï® Hardware

ï¬ï Motherboard (MB)âsilkscreen labeled as "Si5xx

Programmable Oscillator"

ï¬ï Daughterboard (DB)âsilkscreen labeled as "Si5xx CEB

DB"

ï® Software

ï¬ï Programmable Oscillator Software

ï¬ï Register Programmer

ï¬ï EVB Driver (USBXpressï)

The Si57x motherboard is normally operated together

with a Si57x daughterboard populated with an Si570/

571/598/599. This combination is referred to as the

Si57x-EVB assembly that is also used to evaluate the

Si598/599 any frequency I2C programmable XO/

VCXOs. Software is supplied for evaluation of the

Si57x/598/599 device. All Si570 and Si598 XOs are pin

and register compatible. The Si571 and Si599 VCXOs

are pin and register compatible. The Si57x-EVB

supports all configurations of these devices. The

software components run on a USB-equipped PC and

are described in detail in "4. Software Installation" on

page 12.

Note: Si57x/598/599 samples must be ordered separately

from the Si57x-EVB.

Quick Start

1. Install an assembled Si57x Daughterboard on

to the Si57x Motherboard.

2. Verify Si57x Motherboard jumper settings are

correct. (The default installation assumes a

3.3V OE active high DUT. Otherwise refer to

Table 3.)

3. Connect the USB cable from the EVB to the

host PC.

4. Install the EVB Driver on the host PC.

5. Install the Programmable Oscillator Software

from the CD or zip file.

6. Launch the Programmable Oscillator Software

by clicking Startï®Programsï®Silicon

Laboratoriesï®Programmable Oscillator

Software and selecting one of the applications.

Note: The above instructions assume an assembled daugh-

terboard is available. If it is not available, install the

Si57x/598/599 DUT and place proper output compo-

nents on the daughterboard as described in "1.9. Si57x

Daughterboard" on page 9.
