9. SiT6502EB Power Supplying
Device under Test (DUT) Analog supplying voltage (VDDIN) and DUT outputs supplying voltages (VDDOx) on the SiT6502EB are configured to 3.3 V by default, whereas DUT PLLs supplying voltage VDD supply is configured to 1.8 V. The on board supplies/LDO’s are configurable to 1.8 V, 2.5 V and 3.3 V with the Jumper option as shown in Figure 2. Please refer to SiT95147 datasheet for configuring the supply voltages on the VDDIN/VDD and VDDOx pins and to the Table 6 for on board configuration options for SiT95147:
Table 6. SiT6502EB Supply configuration
Variant | VDD | VDDIN | VDDOx |
SiT95147 | 2.5 V / 3.3 V | 2.5 V / 3.3 V | 1.8 V / 2.5 V / 3.3 V |

Figure 2. Supply Regulator for VDDIN/VDDOx
Note: For changing the VDDIN (J9) and VDDOx Supply, connect the corresponding Jumpers to below settings:
- 3.3 V – Connect the 3-Pin Jumper from 1 to 2.
- 2.5 V – Connect the 3-Pin Jumper from 2 to 3.
- 1.8 V – Remove the Jumper. There is a provision for connecting external supplies after bypassing the on board regulators for all the supplies as shown in Figure 3.

10. I2C/SPI Mode Connection
The 10 pin Header J76 (Figure 5) is mainly used for configuring the SiT6503EB into I2C and SPI Mode (I2C Mode is default one).
For I2C Mode of Operation:
- SCLK_OUT is shorted to SCLK in J76
- SDAIO_OUT is shorted to SDAIO in J76
- CSB_OUT is shorted to CSB in J76

Figure 5. Supply Regulator for PLLs
For SPI Mode of Operation:
- SCLK_OUT is shorted to SCLK in J76.
- SDAIO_OUT is shorted to SDAIO in J76.
- CSB_OUT is shorted to CSB in J76.
- SDO_OUT is shorted to SDO in J76.
- JSCL1 Jumper should be removed.
- JVDD1 Jumper should be changed from (2 to 3) to (1 to 2).
- J73 Jumper should be changed from (1 to 2) to (2 to 3).
11. Clock Inputs
The SiT6502EB has eight inputs (4 differential pairs) with SMA connectors (IN0_P, IN0_N, IN1_P, IN1_N, IN2_P, IN2_N, IN3_P, IN3_N) for receiving external clock signals. All input clocks are AC-coupled and 50Ω terminated as shown in Figure 6 below. This represents four differential input clock pairs. Single-ended clocks can be used by driving the ‘P’ side of the differential pair with the ‘N’ input floating. Figure 6 shows the Input Clock Termination Circuit for one of the 4 pairs.

Figure 6. Input Clock Termination Circuit
12. Clock Outputs
When shipped from factory, each of the twenty output drivers (8 differential pairs) is AC-coupled to its respective SMA connector – this is the default configuration. The output clock termination circuit is shown in Figure 7 below. If dc coupling is required, the corresponding 0.1 uF AC coupling capacitor can be replaced with a zero Ω resistor. Figure 7 shows Output Clock Termination Circuit for one of the 8 output pairs.

Figure 7. Output Clock Termination Circuit
12.1 Output Differential Termination
LVDS (default configuration), LVPECL, HCSL, and CML differential signaling types can be supported by changing the output termination circuits.
12.1.1 LVDS, CML
The board is shipped to support LVDS, CML in its default differential. The signals are AC coupled with ceramic 0.1 uF capacitors instead of the corresponding series resistors RSExx (Refer to Table 7) which are not populated.

13. Quick Start
- Install Time Master for Clocks GUI on your Windows PC
- Confirm jumpers are installed as shown in Table 3
- Connect a USB cable from SiT6502EB, J3 to your PC
- Launch the Time Master for Clocks GUI
- Refer to the accompanying Time Master for Clocks SW User Manual to configure your frequency plan on the SiT6502EB
- Default Output Driver Configuration is LVDS and Output Driver Supplies are configured to 3.3 V
- Default VDD Supply on the EVB is configured to 1.8V and default VDDIN supply on the EVB is configured to 3.3 V
- The FTDI chip on the EVB is configured to I2C as the default communication protocol
- EVB default configuration is shown in Figure 8.

The general guidelines for single USB power supply operation are listed below:
- Use either a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port. These ports are specified to supply 900 mA and 500 mA respectively at +5V
- If you are working with a USB 2.0 port and you are current limited, turn off enough DUT output voltage regulators to drop the total DUT current ≤ 470 mA.
Note: USB 2.0 ports may supply > 500 mA. Provided the nominal +5V drops gracefully by less than 10%, the EVB will still work
