Microclock® 5X1503/5L1503 Family Development Kit
User Guide
Introduction
The Microclock development kit is designed to support the 5X1503/5L1503 devices. It provides a convenient way of verifying, configuring
and programming the blank parts for Microclock devices 5X1503 and 5L1503. The IDT Timing Commander
for configuration and frequency validation on a socket board through a USB programmer board in USB interface. The development kit
support programming to Microclock blank parts either placed into a socket of the board or the blank device soldered on evaluation boards
as additional extension boards.

Socket Board Overview
The Microclock socket board builds in with a Microclock evaluation part (standard 5X1503 product) with all of the necessary components
and connections to test the functionality of the configuration. Users can use the evaluation part for configuration. Once the configuration
is final, users can either place blank parts in the socket or connect to a separated evaluation board with a soldered blank part for
programming.
Use Figure 1 and Table 2 to identify board items and features.

The socket board for all Microclock products, combined with a USB programmer board, is used for the purpose of validation and
measurement on all outputs. The development kit offers two ways to program a configuration to either a blank part in the socket or a
blank part soldered on an evaluation board for validation. Blank parts can drop into the socket of the socket board for programming on
different MicroClock family devices. The evaluation board is another option for configuration programming so it can be brought over to
any system board for clocking support. Note that blank parts can only be burnt once through the socket board. The socket board is
bundled with a USB programmer board. The following description and images are restricted to the socket board.
On the footprint of the socket board, a pin orientation identifies the position of Pin 1 as shown in Figure 4. Align the dot of the blank part in
the socket as pointed. After placing the blank part, secure the socket cover.

Programming Steps
Use programming steps 2 – 7 as described in the Table 4 to program a configuration into the blank part in the specified socket board.

A configuration has been validated and
completed on the development kit.
All intended outputs should be available
1
for
measurement on the USB
development kit.
Plug the specified socket board onto
2
the USB programmer board (shown in
Figure 3).
Start Timing Commander software (this
3
step can be skipped if a configuration is
ready in the personality).
New settings file (this step can be
4
skipped if a configuration is ready in the
personality).
5Connect to the development kit.
Configurations should have programmed to the 12-pin evaluation part for validation
on the socket board through the USB programmer board using Timing Commander.
Upon validation of the outputs, “Disconnect” the USB board and proceed for OTP burn
as explained in the following sections.
USB programmer board with the socket board provides a communication channel
between the GUI and a blank part in the socket board.
Launch the Timing Commander GUI software. Load the personality file.
Using the Timing Commander GUI, start a new settings file or open a pre-optimized
file.
Click on the chip symbol on the top right corner of the GUI window.
Once connected, new options will be available on a green background indicating that
the USB programmer board has successfully connected with the socket board.
6—
The configuration will be programmed into the blank part in the socket.

Use the following steps to proceed with the OTP burn.
8. After the chip is connected to the Timing Commander, the main window of configuration is shown (see Figure 6). Click the OTP icon
on the left side of personality window.
Figure 6. Personality Main Window
9. After clicking the icon, a new dialogue window will open (see Figure 7). Set the burning protection for the desired Config/DFC to
configure the OTP Burn (default is “Burn”). Click “Burn” to proceed with the OTP burn process. Please note that this process cannot
be reverted back.

10. Once “Burn” is clicked, a dialog of confirmation will appear verifying if the development kit has connected with user PC for OTP
programming. Click “Yes” to proceed with the OTP burn.

11. If the OTP burn process is successful, a dialog window with “Success” will appear indicating that the process is completed and the part
has been burnt based on the configuration.

JP2 on MicroClock socket board provides a select function for configuration programming to either the evaluation part or blank parts in
socket or on an evaluation board. To program OTP on a blank part in the socket or an evaluation board, ensure to un-plug the jumper on
JP2 (default jumper sets to be plugged). See Figure 10.
