This guide explains the operation of the Clock Builder Pro GUI tool for configuring Skyworks Si53xx clock generator and jitter attenuator products.
This document describes the main operating procedures for the Clock Builder Pro, a GUI tool used to calculate register values and control evaluation boards for Skyworks Si53xx clock generator and jitter attenuator product series. The tool is primarily demonstrated with settings for the Si5342/44/45 models, though it may not support all older product lines.
The guide details the frequency setting methods, including factory programming, user-side non-volatile memory programming, and serial communication configuration. It also provides step-by-step instructions for configuring the tool's main screens, such as serial communication, input/output clocks, Free Run Only Mode, Zero Delay Mode, and alarm settings like OOF and LOL. This manual is written in Japanese.
The guide primarily displays settings for the jitter attenuator models Si5342, Si5344, and Si5345.
You can configure register values using the Clock Builder Pro software, which allows for easy determination of settings via three methods: factory programming, user-side non-volatile memory programming, or serial communication.
Unless an oscillator (XO) is required, the recommended setting is a crystal (XTAL) of 48 MHz, as this provides the best performance in terms of phase noise characteristics.
