Board Overview
Use Figure 1 to identify various components of the board: Input and output SMA connectors; Power supply jacks and some
jumper settings necessary for the board operations. Detailed descriptions are as follows:
•Input SMA Connectors – There are a total of 14 inputs, of which IN1, 2 are AMI inputs; IN9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 are
single-ended inputs; IN3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 are differential inputs.
•Output SMA Connectors – There are a total of 12 outputs, of which OUT1, 2, 7, 9, 10 are single-ended outputs; OUT3, 4, 5,
6, 11, 12 are differential outputs; OUT8 is an AMI output.
•USB connector – Type-B connector for GUI communications. No power is drawn from USB connector other than to power
the FTDI USB chip.
•Dip Switch SW6 – Used to configure EEPROM write protection, master or slave selection and communication protocols
between PC/GUI and the board. For typical I2C mode, set MPU_MODE[1:0] = 00 ('I2C ON').
•J76 – This is a 2x12 pin header used to set communication mode between PC and the board. Table 1 shows how to jump the
header pairs for the intended mode. Use JP18 (described below) to set I2C mode by default.
Table 1: Jumper Setting on J76
•JP18 – By default, I2C mode will be selected with JP18 shunted (jumped).

Figure 1. Board Overview
•APLL3 Crystals – Crystals for APLL3 in the device. Three frequencies are supported – 24.8832MHz, 25MHz and
25.78125MHz – generating three different mode frequencies for SONET, Ethernet and Ethernet LAN, respectively. On the
board, two crystals are installed and supported at the same time.
•OSCI input and XO – System reference clock input. Refer to JP9 for clock source selection. The frequency of this input clock
is selected by XO_FREQ[2:0] pins described in SW5.
•HW Reset button – Pressing this button will reset the device to default condition.
•JP9 – 3-pin header used to select the system reference clock to be from OSCI or XO. Please see board silkscreen for source
selection.
•Dip Switch SW5 – This dip switch contains the following bit configurations:
◦System clock frequency selection – switch the 3 bits to match OSCI frequency. Default frequency is 12.8MHz.
Table 2: OSCI frequency Selections by SW5
◦SONET/SDH selection: This bit determines the value of IN_SONET_SDH during reset.
◦I2C address bits: I2C_AD[2:1] sets the lower 3-bit address of 7-bit I2C address with the least significant bit, I2C_AD0
being ignored. Higher 4 bits is fixed at 4'b1010. This only applies to I2C mode (MPU_MODE[1:0] = 00 in SW6).
•AC/DC Power Jack – Using a wall adapter AC/DC power supply (output 5VDC/3A with center-positive jack) can power the
board, if 5VDC Power Jack is not supplied with a 5VDC power source.

•5VDC Power Jack – If AC/DC power source is not used, a 5VDC power source can be plugged into the jack to power the
board. Please note: Power Jacks labeled 3.3V and 1.8V are for other purposes. They can be left unused.
•5VDC Ground Jack – Paired with 5VDC Power Jack (above) to provide power return when 5VDC bench power supply is
used.
Board Power Supply
There are two ways to power up the board:
•Use an AC/DC adapter which provides 5VDC to on-board voltage regulators to generate 3.3V and 1.8V.
•Connect a 5VDC power source (i.e., a bench power supply) to the power jack that is labeled s “5V”.
There are power jacks labeled 3.3V and 1.8V. Do not use them to power the board. They are connected to the output of 3.3V
and 1.8V voltage regulators powered by either J54 or the 5VDC power jack. They can be supplied with 3.3V and 1.8V to power
the board but only if 5V is not supplied. They are used for testing purposes only; it is not recommended to use them.
USB connector is only used for communicating with the PC running Timing Commander. It is not used to provide any power
source for the board. When plugged in to PC's USB port, a green LED is lit.
Connecting the Board to PC and Power
Other than input and output cables, the only connection you need to make to operate the board is a USB cable connecting to a
PC USB port, and a power supply connection (either an AC/DC adapter or a 5VDC power source, as described above). See
Figure 2 below for different powering options.

Click “Configure” button to open up configuration window for respective DPLL for additional or customized configuration.
There are pull-down items for each configuration parameter. For example, in “Operation Mode” section, you can select:
◦Automatic, or Free-up to force Lock or Free-run;
◦Different base frequencies can be selected from pull-down items in Selector A or Select B;
◦Input reference can be set manually set to a particular input, or set it in “Automatic” mode, in which case a input
reference is selected based on priority among multiple input references;
◦Feedback can be “Internal feedback mode” or use one of the input references as an “external feedback mode”. When
in external feedback mode, a clock source must be supplied to the input chosen at the same frequency as the input
to the DPLL (typically, it's 8kHz).
