This document describes the operation of the Silicon Laboratories ProSLIC device evaluation platform. The devices supported by this document are the Si3210/15/16 and Si3210M/15M/16M; both Si3201 and discrete interface topologies are included. Schematics and layouts are provided for the various ProSLIC products. The ProSLIC evaluation platform is designed to provide observation of the ProSLIC’s functionality. The ProSLIC platform consists of a ProSLIC motherboard, a device- specific daughter card, and the ProSLIC LINC™ software. The ProSLIC LINC software is a Windows®- based program that can run in Microsoft Windows environments.
The Si321xPPQx-EVB is an evaluation board for Silicon Labs ProSLIC devices (Si3210/15/16 and variants). It provides a modular platform with a motherboard, device‑specific daughter cards, and ProSLIC LINC software for configuration, control, and monitoring.
The board supports up to eight stacked daughter cards, offers selectable power options (3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V), and includes on‑board clock generation, PCM I/O, and optional audio test equipment connections. Detailed schematics, power connection tables, and a bill of materials are provided in the document.
