Product details
Overview
SI5338/56-PROG-EVB from Skyworks Solutions is a field programming kit designed to write custom configuration files into the one-time programmable (OTP) non-volatile memory (NVM) of Si5338 and Si5356 clock generators. It supports USB-powered operation, uses ClockBuilder Pro v2.36+, includes a high-quality socket with pin-1 orientation marking, and provides Pass/Fail status indication via dual-color LEDs. It enables pre-power-up clock configuration for systems requiring deterministic timing at boot.
For engineers reviewing the SI5338/56-PROG-EVB datasheet, SI5338/56-PROG-EVB pinout, SI5338/56-PROG-EVB application, or SI5338/56-PROG-EVB equivalent, this page details its role in OTP NVM programming workflows, compatibility with Si5338/Si5356 devices, USB-host interface requirements, ClockBuilder Pro integration, and socket-level device handling procedures.
Technical Context
The SI5338/56-PROG-EVB interfaces exclusively with blank Si5338 or Si5356 ICs via a dedicated ZIF socket and communicates over USB to host PC software. It relies on ClockBuilder Pro to generate .nvm files and execute OTP writes - no standalone firmware or embedded controller is present on the board.
It operates at 5 V DC supplied solely from the USB port, requires no external power or jumpers, and implements automatic I2C address detection (default 0x70) for target device communication. The board contains no user-configurable components, memory, or programmable logic - its function is strictly pass-through programming control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Target Devices | Si5338 and Si5356 clock generators only; supports both families via software-selectable mode. |
| Power Source | USB 2.0 port (5 V ±5%, 500 mA max); no external supply or regulators required. |
| Interface Protocol | I2C (7-bit address default 0x70); no UART, SPI, or JTAG support. |
| Programming Type | One-time programmable (OTP) NVM write only; no read-back, erase, or reprogram capability. |
| Status Indication | Dual-color LED: green = successful NVM write, red = failure (e.g., bad orientation, pre-programmed device). |
| Software Dependency | Requires ClockBuilder Pro v2.36+; no support for legacy ClockBuilder Desktop or third-party tools. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SI5338/56-PROG-EVB?
The SI5338/56-PROG-EVB is a dedicated field programming kit used exclusively to write custom configuration files into the one-time programmable (OTP) non-volatile memory of blank Si5338 or Si5356 clock generators. It does not operate as an evaluation board for signal generation or timing analysis - its sole purpose is secure, USB-hosted OTP programming via ClockBuilder Pro. The SI5338/56-PROG-EVB must be used with a blank device; previously programmed parts will fail verification.
Which software versions support the SI5338/56-PROG-EVB?
The SI5338/56-PROG-EVB requires ClockBuilder Pro version 2.36 or later. Earlier versions - including all releases of ClockBuilder Desktop - are incompatible. The SI5338/56-PROG-EVB appears as a selectable option under the "NVM Program Tool" menu only when a supported ClockBuilder Pro version detects the hardware via USB. No drivers beyond standard Windows USB CDC or macOS HID are needed.
Can the SI5338/56-PROG-EVB program other Skyworks clock devices?
No. The SI5338/56-PROG-EVB is hardware- and firmware-locked to Si5338 and Si5356 devices only. It does not support Si534x, Si538x, Si539x, or any other Skyworks timing IC family. The socket mechanical design, I2C addressing logic, and ClockBuilder Pro integration are specific to the Si5338/Si5356 OTP architecture and register map. Attempting to load other devices results in communication timeout or failure indication.
What happens if a pre-programmed Si5338 or Si5356 is placed in the SI5338/56-PROG-EVB socket?
The SI5338/56-PROG-EVB will detect the existing OTP content and reject the write attempt, illuminating the red LED to indicate failure. This is by design: the Si5338 and Si5356 OTP memory is truly one-time programmable. The SI5338/56-PROG-EVB cannot override or erase prior configurations. Users must verify device blankness (e.g., factory-fresh or marked "unprogrammed") before insertion - plastic slugs shipped with some kits are not functional devices.
Does the SI5338/56-PROG-EVB require external power or configuration jumpers?
No. The SI5338/56-PROG-EVB draws all operating power from the host USB port (5 V, up to 500 mA) and contains no external power inputs, voltage selectors, or DIP switches. All configuration - including target device selection (Si5338 vs. Si5356), I2C address, and NVM file path - is handled entirely within ClockBuilder Pro. The SI5338/56-PROG-EVB has zero user-accessible hardware configuration options.
