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.
