Chapter 1 Introduction The 2-GBPS differential repeater evaluation module (EVM) allows evaluation of the SN65LVDS100, SN65LVDS101, and SN65CML100 differential repeaters/ translators. This user’s guide gives a brief overview of the EVM, setup and operation instructions, and typical test results that can be expected. Topic Page Overview...
Overview 1.1 Overview The 2-GBPS differential repeater evaluation module (EVM) is designed for evaluation of the SN65LVDS100, SN65LVDS101, and SN65CML100 differential repeaters/ translators. The SN65LVDS100 and SN65LVDS101 devices both incorporate wide common-mode range receivers, allowing receipt of LVDS, LVPECL, or CML input signals. The SN65LVDS100 provides an LVDS output, the SN65LVDS101 incorporates an LVPECL output driver, and the SN65CML100 delivers a CML output.
Signal Paths 1.2 Signal Paths A partial schematic of the EVM is shown in Figure 1-2 and a full schematic is in chapter 3. Edge-mount SMA connectors (J4, J5, J6, and J7) are provided for data input and output connections. Three power jacks (J1, J2, and J3) are used to provide power to and a ground reference, for the EVM.
Chapter 2 Setup and Equipment Required This chapter examines the setup and use of the evaluation module and the re- sults of operation. Topic Page Overview ........... . . Applying an Input .
Overview 2.1 Overview LVDS driver output characteristics are specified in the TIA/EIA-644 standard. LVDS drivers nominally provide a 350-mV differential signal, with a 1.25-V offset from ground. These levels are attained when driving a 100-Ω differential line-termination test load (see Figure 2-1). In real applications, there may be a ground potential between a driver and receiver(s).
Applying an Input Figure 2-2. EVM Power Connections for SN65LVDS100 Evaluation Power Supply 1 3.3V Power Supply 2 1.22V 100 Ω 50 Ω 50 Ω Matched Matched Pattern Cables Cables Generator SMA to SMA SMA to SMA Oscilloscope Warning Power jacks J1, J2, and J3 are not insulated on the backside of the EVM.
Applying an Input with 50-Ω pullups to V . When using external terminations, the onboard termination resistor R1 should be removed from the EVM. It should be noted that the signal quality at the receiver input may be degraded when external terminations are used, as a significant stub exists from the external termination network to the receiver input.
Observing an Output Figure 2-4. External Termination for Single-Ended LVPECL Inputs to EVM 50 Ω Signal Source EVM BOARD NOTES: A. Add jumper Jmp2 and 0-Ω R5 B. Remove R1 2.3 Observing an Output Direct connection to an oscilloscope with 50-Ω internal terminations to ground is accomplished without R2, R3, and R4 .
Typical Test Results LVPECL drivers need a 50-Ω termination to V . A modification of Figure 2-2 and the above instructions are used when evaluating an SN65LVDS101 with a direct connection to a 50-Ω oscilloscope. With power supply 1 in Figure 2-2 set to 3.3 V, power supply 2 should be set to 1.3 V (2 V below V ) to provide the correct termination voltage.
