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:
