  • Page 3: Overview

    The DS25CP104EVK is an evaluation kit designed for demonstrating performance of DS25CP104, a 3.125 Gbps 4x4 LVDS Crosspoint Switch with Transmit Pre-emphasis and Receive Equalization. The evaluation kit is comprised of the DS25CP104 with its associated input and output SMA connectors and jumpers to manually select the desired pre-emphasis or equalization, a USB to SMBus conversion circuit to control the SMBus with a PC, and three FR4 striplines (15”...

    DS25CP104EVK Description Figure 2 shows the top layer drawing of the PCB with the silkscreen annotations. The 4.5 by 4.5 inch, eight-layer PCB is designed to evaluate the functions of the DS25CP104. Figure 2. Top Layer DS25CP104EVK Page 4 of 17...
  • Page 5 For descriptive purposes the DS25CP104EVK can be broken into three parts: 1. The DS25CP104 IC with associated connectors and jumpers is the main part of the board. The block diagram of the DS25CP104 is shown in Figure 3. The receive buffers can be set to Off and Low equalization by the external pins EQ0 –...

  • Page 9 Pre-Emphasis Performance Testing In applications where data transmits over cables or long backplanes, the pre-emphasis feature on the DS25CP104 transmitter helps to overcome media loss and reduce bit errors; hence the DS25CP104EVK has three lengths of stripline to test the pre-emphasis function.
  • Page 10 Equalization Performance Testing In some applications, data transmits over cables or long backplanes. The equalization function on the DS25CP104 receivers helps to compensate for loss of certain media; hence the DS25CP104EVK has three lengths of stripline to test the equalization function.
  • Page 11 Pre-Emphasis and Equalization Performance Testing In some applications, data transmits over cables or long backplanes. The pre-emphasis and equalization functions on the DS25CP104 help to compensate for loss of certain media; hence the DS25CP104EVK has three lengths of stripline to test the pre-emphasis and equalization functions.

  • Page 15 DS25CP104EVK User Manual Using the Analog Launch Pad for the CP104EVK The Analog Launch Pad from National Semiconductor is a proprietary interface created to assist developers to test their designs and systems using National’s evaluation boards; the CP104EVK interface has been designed into the Analog Launch Pad. The registers of the CP104 can be accessed through this interface enabling all the functions accessed through the SMBus.
