Si53xx-RM
The following is a set of recommendations and guidelines for printed circuit board layout with the Si5374, Si5375,
and Si5376 devices. Because the four DSPLLs are in close physical and electrical proximity to one another, PCB
layout is critical to achieving the highest levels of jitter performance. The following images were taken from the
Si537x-EVB (evaluation board) layout. For more details about this board, please refer to the Si537x-EVB
Evaluation Board User's Guide.
As much as is possible, do not route clock input and output signals
underneath the BGA package. The clock output signals should go
directly outwards from the BGA footprint.
