Si52144 EVALUATION BOARD USER’S GUIDE

Description

The Si52144 is a four port PCIe clock generator

compliant with the PCIe Gen1, Gen2 and Gen3

standards. The Si52144 is a 24-pin QFN device that

operates on a 3.3 V power supply and can be controlled

using SMBus signals along with hardware control input

pins. The differential outputs support spread spectrum

and can be controlled through SSON input pin. The

Si52144 needs a crystal or clock input of 25 MHz. The

connections are described in this document.

EVB Features

This document is intended to be used in conjunction

with the Si52144 device and data sheet for the following

tests:

 PCIe Gen1, Gen2, Gen3 compliancy

 Power consumption test

 Jitter performance

 Testing out I

C code for signal tuning

 In-system validation where SMA connectors are

present

1.1. Generating DIFF Outputs from the Si52144

If the input pins are left floating upon power-on of the device, by default all DIFF outputs DIFF[0:3] are ON with

100 MHz and with spread spectrum disabled. The input pin headers have clear indication of jumper settings for

setting logic LOW (0) and HIGH (1) as shown below. The jumper placed on the middle and left pin will set input

OE0 to LOW; the jumper placed on the middle and right pin will set input OE0 to HIGH.

The output enable pins can be changed on the fly to observe outputs stopped cleanly. To enable the spread

spectrum, the SSON input needs to change from a logic level low to high. Input functionality is explained in detail

below.

1.1.1. SSON Input

Apply the appropriate logic level to SSON input to achieve clock frequency selection. When the SSON is HIGH,

–0.5% down spread is enabled on all differential outputs with a saw-tooth spread profile. When the SSON is LOW,

spread profile is disabled.

1.1.2. OE [0:3] Input

The output enable pins can change on the fly when the device is on. Deasserting (valid low) results in

corresponding DIFF output to be stopped after their next transition with final state low/low. Asserting (valid high)

results in corresponding output that was stopped are to resume normal operation in a glitch-free manner.

Each of the hardware OE [0:3] pins are mapped via I

C to control bit in Control register. The hardware pin and the

enable the DIFF output. The DIFF outputs and their corresponding I

C control bits and hardware pins are listed in

Table 3.
