Introduction Introduction The XR17V354 and XR17V358 evaluation boards provide a platform to evaluate the features and performance of the XR17V354 and XR17V358. The XR17V354 and XR17V358 are 4-channel and 8-channel PCIe UARTs, respectively. They are available in the same package and are pin compatible, therefore they utilize the same evaluation board. The evaluation board revision is 4.0.

Description XR17V354IB-0A-EVB A single 4-channel XR17V354 PCIe UART and four SP339 Transceivers are installed. Two 4-channel XR17V354 PCIe UARTs and eight SP339 Transceivers are installed in a master / slave XR17V354IB-E4-EVB configuration. A master 4-channel XR17V354 PCIe UART, a slave 8-channel XR17V358 PCIe UART and twelve SP339 XR17V354IB-E8-EVB Transceivers are installed.
2 XR17V358 are installed. The PCI interface of the master device is connected directly to the PCIe connector. The master device communicates with the slave device via MaxLinear’s proprietary expansion interface, illustrated in Figure 5. The PCIe interface on the slave device is not used and should be unconnected.

Power Power is connected when the PCIe board is plugged into the computer’s PCIe bus. Each XR17V354 and XR17V358 has an internal buck regulator that is powered by the PCIe bus 3.3V supply and produces a 1.2V output. This 1.2V output may be used to drive the 1.2V power required by the same XR17V35x, or alternatively the 1.2V may be supplied externally.
Device Manager / Port Setting tab example After the ports are set, they can be tested using any serial testing tool or MaxLinear’s Super GUI which can be found from the XR17V358 product page, under Design Tools / Evaluation Hardware and Software, Software Drivers.
The XR17V358IB-0A-EVB uses the same schematic, except the slave components are not populated. The XR17V358IB-E4-EVB uses the same schematic, except the slave PCIe UART is the XR17V354 (the XR17V358 is pin compatible to the XR17V354) and the transceivers for channels 5-8 are not populated.
