PCB Design and Layout Guidance
Where should I look for schematic design assistance?
Where can I find the IBIS model for the Si5372/71?
Where can I find the Si5372/71 schematic footprints and symbols?
Do you have layout recommendations I should follow?
Do you have a list of recommended crystals?
I don’t want to use a crystal with the Si5372/71. Can I use an XO or TCXO as the XA/XB reference instead? And if so, how do I interface an external oscillator to the device? 2
