Silicon Labs SiOCXO1-EB evaluation board

Product Description

Silicon Labs SiOCXO1-EB Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) Evaluation Board

This SiOCXO1-EB is an evaluation and development board for Silicon Labs’ high-precision oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) products. It provides a complete platform for engineers to prototype, test, and integrate ultra-stable frequency references into telecommunications, instrumentation, and networking systems.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Purpose: OCXO Evaluation and Prototyping

• Device Under Test: Socket for a Silicon Labs OCXO device (e.g., Si50x, Si51x, Si54x)

• Outputs: CMOS, LVDS, or LVPECL compatible (depends on populated oscillator)

• Input Power: Single voltage supply (e.g., 3.3V)

• Control Interface: May include programming/trimming interfaces (I²C)

• Function: Allows characterization of phase noise, frequency stability, and aging

Applications:

• Prototyping next-generation telecom base station equipment

• Testing and validating network synchronization (SyncE, IEEE 1588 PTP)

• Developing high-precision test and measurement instruments

• Research in low-phase-noise and high-stability timing circuits
