SI5365-66-EVB Übersicht
An evaluation board (EVB) is a printed circuit assembly that mounts a target integrated circuit together with the supporting power, clocking, filtering, and connector circuitry required to exercise the device in a laboratory environment. EVBs sit within the broader hierarchy of development boards, kits, and prototyping hardware, and they bridge the gap between a datasheet and a production PCB by letting engineers verify jitter, phase noise, lock behavior, and output signal integrity before committing to a layout.
The SI5365/66-EVB supports simplified evaluation of the Si5366 jitter-attenuating clock and the Si5356 low-jitter clock multiplier. The Si5365 family provides any-frequency synthesis with user-programmable output frequencies, while the Si5366 adds jitter attenuation for cleaning up noisy reference clocks in synchronized systems such as SONET/SDH, OTN, and synchronous Ethernet equipment.
The kit ships with the evaluation board, a USB/interface cable, a CD with documentation and the EVB control software, allowing register-level configuration of loop bandwidths, output dividers, and frequency plans from a PC. This software-driven control flow is the fastest way to characterize the device's phase-noise performance with external test equipment.
Typical evaluation scenarios include Telecom line-card clocking, network synchronization (SyncE/PTP) reference generation, and lab prototyping of low-jitter clock trees for high-speed data converters and FPGA/ASIC reference inputs.
Design consideration: because the Si5365/66 platform is not recommended for new designs, use this board only to evaluate or support existing designs, and plan a migration path to Skyworks' current-generation timing parts.

Typische Anwendungen
SI5365-66-EVB ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: Telecom Line-Card Clock Evaluation, Network Synchronization (SyncE/PTP) Prototyping, High-Speed ADC/DAC Clock Source Characterization, FPGA/ASIC Reference Clock Validation, Legacy Design Support and Fault Analysis, Test and Measurement Bench Clock Reference.
Telecom Line-Card Clock Evaluation
The SI5365/66-EVB fits telecom line-card development because the Si5366 device it hosts is a jitter-attenuating clock purpose-built to clean noisy or gapped references before they reach SONET/SDH, OTN, or synchronous Ethernet framers. On the board, engineers connect a reference clock through the input SMA/connectors, program loop bandwidth and output dividers from the included EVB software on the CD, and measure cleaned output jitter with a phase-noise analyzer. The kit's simplified evaluation flow means a frequency plan can be validated in minutes rather than after a PCB spin, and the $350.00 MSRP makes it practical to keep a dedicated bench setup for timing bring-up across multiple line-card projects.
Empfohlen
Network Synchronization (SyncE/PTP) Prototyping
For synchronization engineers prototyping SyncE or IEEE 1588 PTP timing chains, the SI5365/66-EVB provides a bench platform to verify that a recovered or packet-derived reference can be jitter-attenuated to distribution quality before committing to a production clock tree. The Si5366 attenuates reference jitter while the Si5365 mode multiplies any-frequency references to the required output rate; the bundled EVB software allows rapid iteration of divider ratios and loop settings. Because Skyworks marks the platform NRND, this kit is best used to characterize or maintain existing SyncE designs rather than launch new ones, and results should be cross-checked against a current-generation timing device before finalizing a new frequency plan.
Empfohlen
High-Speed ADC/DAC Clock Source Characterization
Data-converter performance is bounded by the phase noise of its sampling clock, and the SI5365/66-EVB lets mixed-signal teams quantify exactly what the Si5365's low-jitter clock-multiplier output delivers. Engineers feed a clean reference to the board, program the target converter clock frequency with the EVB software, and capture phase-noise plots that feed directly into SNR and SFDR budget calculations for the ADC or DAC. This avoids the classic pitfall of attributing converter degradation to the converter itself when the clock source is the limiting factor. The board, cable, and CD software kit provides a repeatable, documented setup, making it a standard reference point when comparing candidate clocking parts on the lab bench.
Empfohlen
FPGA/ASIC Reference Clock Validation
FPGA transceivers and SerDes blocks impose tight reference-clock jitter masks, and the SI5365/66-EVB provides a convenient way to validate a proposed reference clock against those masks early in a project. By programming the Si5365 to the transceiver's required frequency and measuring integrated jitter over the transceiver specification band, teams can sign off a clocking approach before PCB layout is frozen. The EVB software on the bundled CD makes frequency-plan changes a software operation rather than a rework, so multiple SerDes reference frequencies can be qualified in one lab session. Skyworks' NRND notice means new FPGA projects should plan migration to current-generation Skyworks timing parts, but the jitter behavior characterized on this board remains a valid baseline reference.
Empfohlen
Legacy Design Support and Fault Analysis
Because thousands of deployed systems use the Si5365 and Si5366, the SI5365/66-EVB remains a valuable tool for field-return analysis and legacy-design support. When a shipped product exhibits clock-related failures, engineers can reproduce the exact programmed frequency plan on this board using the included EVB software, compare measured behavior against the production unit, and isolate whether the fault lies in the clock IC, its reference, or surrounding circuitry. The kit's complete contents - board, cable, and CD with documentation - make it self-sufficient for this workflow. DigiKey still lists the kit as shipping today (as of 2026-10-10), but given NRND status, support teams should secure kits while stock lasts.
Empfohlen
Test and Measurement Bench Clock Reference
Instrument benches benefit from a configurable, low-jitter clock source, and the SI5365/66-EVB can serve as a programmable reference generator for characterizing jitter tolerance in receivers, validating clock-distribution buffers, or stimulating timing boards under test. The Si5365's any-frequency synthesis capability means the output can be tuned across a wide range of standard and non-standard rates via the EVB software, while the Si5366 mode demonstrates how much attenuation is achievable from a deliberately noisy reference. At an MSRP of $350.00 (as of 2026-10-10), the kit is an inexpensive addition to a bench compared with dedicated synthesizers, though its NRND status and fixed on-board architecture limit it to evaluation-grade rather than metrology-grade applications.

Designhinweise
The Si5365/66 platform is officially not recommended for new designs per Skyworks. Use this EVB only to evaluate, characterize, or support existing Si5365/Si5366-based systems. For any new clock-tree project, select a current-generation Skyworks jitter attenuator or clock multiplier and its matching evaluation kit instead, so that lifecycle, software support, and sourcing are guaranteed for the product's lifetime.
When translating EVB results to your own PCB, copy the board's reference and output clock routing practices: short, impedance-controlled traces, solid ground return under clock lines, and input/output capacitors placed at the connector as on the evaluation board. Jitter measured on the EVB is only reproducible in production if the fanout loading, reference routing, and power decoupling mirror the reference layout shown in the documentation supplied on the kit's CD.
Jitter-attenuator performance is sensitive to supply noise. During evaluation, power the board from a clean linear bench supply rather than a switching supply, since ripple on analog supplies can degrade the phase-noise floor you measure and lead to overly optimistic expectations for the production design. Verify supply ripple below a few millivolts on the analog rails before attributing measured jitter spurs to the device itself.
