6E - 5P49V60, 5P49V6965 and 5P49V6975 Evaluation Board User Guide
Connecting the Board to a Computer
The evaluation board can be connected to a computer with the USB connector. The on-board USB-to-I
2
C bridge (FTDI chip) does the
data communication and the +5V in the USB bus powers the on-board regulators. Using a bench power supply with the V
DD
jacks is
optional. The board can fully function with just the USB cable to a computer.
IDT's Timing Commander software can control the VersaClock 6E device on the board. Timing Commander is compatible with both the
on-board USB-to-I
2
C bridge and the Aardvark adapter. Timing Commander displays a block diagram where you can enter the
configuration. You can then program that configuration into the VersaClock 6E device on the board where Timing Commander defines the
proper hex-code sequence to program into the device.
The jumpers J18, J19, J20 and J21 configure the I
2
C configuration.

C Operation
Labels “SDA” and “SCL” to the left in the schematic connect to the USB-to-I
2
C bridge chip. When using an Aardvark or when operating
the SEL0/1 switches, jumpers JP20 and JP21 need to be removed to disconnect the USB-to-I
2
C bridge. Labels “SEL1_SDA” and
“SEL0_SCL” to the right in the schematic are the SEL1/SDA and SEL0/SCL pins on the VersaClock 6E device.

U2 Switch Operation
The DIP switch block U2 has 8 switches, of which 5 are used.
Figure 5. U2 Switches
The switches connect to pins on the VersaClock 6E devices. The middle position leaves the pin open. This is the default for each switch.
Move to the “+” side to pull the pin high and move to the “-” side to pull the pin low.
Switch 1 = OE: Connects to the SD/OE pin for output enable or shut-down operation.
Switch 2 = SEL0: Connects to the SEL0/SCL pin. The main purpose of this switch is to operate SEL0 when the device has
started in hardware select mode. This switch can also be used to add an extra pull-up (10k) on the SCL line for I
2
C operation.
Switch 3 = SEL1: Connects to the SEL1/SDA pin. The main purpose of this switch is to operate SEL1 when the device has
started in hardware select mode. This switch can also be used to add an extra pull-up (10k) on the SDA line for I
2
C operation.
Switch 4 = CLKSEL: Connects to the CLKSEL pin for selecting between crystal input or CLKIN differential clock input.

Switch 8: Pulls on the OUT0_SELB_I2C pin on the device to select the operation mode at power-up. The state of the
OUT0_SELB_I2C pin is latched at power-up. The operation mode effectively sets the function of the SEL0/SCL and SEL1/SDA
pins. The OUT0_SELB_I2C pin has an on-chip pull-down so switch 8 in the center or “-” position has the same effect and results
in startup with the I
2
C mode. In I
2
C mode, the two pins have the SDA and SCL function for I
2
C operation. With the switch in the
“+” position, the device will start in Hardware Select mode. In Hardware Select mode, the two pins have the SEL0 and SEL1
function for selecting a preprogrammed configuration.
Operating Modes
As explained above at switch 8, the VersaClock 6E device can start up in two different operating modes: I
2
C mode or Hardware Select
mode. The evaluation board is shipped with a “blank” VersaClock 6E device, without configurations pre-programmed into OTP. Without
configurations pre-programmed, the Hardware Select mode cannot be used. The “blank” device will start with a default or “test”
configuration where output 0 and output 1 are enabled. Output 0 will be 25MHz and output 1 will be 100MHz with LVCMOSD logic. You
can then program a configuration into the device into volatile registers with Timing Commander to test a configuration. This works without
“burning” the permanent OTP memory and most users of this evaluation board will never burn OTP. This way the board can be used
again and again to test configurations. Burning configurations into OTP is only useful when studying the Hardware Select mode and the
transition from one configuration to another.
Note: Burning configurations into OTP is permanent and cannot be undone.
