3.125 Gbps Crosspoint Switch (XPS)
UT65CML8X8FD-EVB-UM Evaluation Board

1.0 Introduction

The UT65CML8X8FD-EVB Evaluation Board provides a comprehensive platform for evaluating the UT65CML8X8FD
3.125 Gbps Crosspoint Switch (XPS). The XPS is configured via the internal registers as specified in the register map
section of the data sheet. Internal registers are configured via the XPS SPI port. A Software (SW) Graphical User
Interface (GUI) is provided with the UT65CML8X8FD-EVB to facilitate setup of the XPS device. Users can specify
high-speed signal routing paths, input receiver (RX) equalization (EQ), output transmitter (TX) amplitude, and all
other User-configurable operating parameters through the SW GUI. This User Guide serves to provide setup and
operation of the UT65CML8X8FD-EVB, including both Hardware (HW) and Software (SW).
