SERDES Evaluation Kit DS99R105/106 USB Version 0.1 Users Manual Introduction: National Semiconductor’s SERDES evaluation kit contains one (1) DS99R105 Serializer (Tx) board, one (1) DS99R106 De-serializer (Rx) board, and one (1) two (2) meter high speed USB 2.0 cable. Note: the demo boards are not for EMI testing. The demo boards were designed for easy accessibility to device pins with tap points for monitoring or applying signals, additional pads for termination, and multiple connector options.
3) One 2-meter high speed USB 2.0 cable (4-pin USB A to 5-pin mini USB) 4) Evaluation Kit Documentation (this manual) 5) DS99R105/106 Datasheet SERDES Typical Application: Figure 1a.

Figures 1a and 1b illustrate the use of the Chipset (Tx/Rx) in a Host to Flat Panel Interface. The chipsets support up to 18-bit color depth TFT LCD Panels. Refer to the proper datasheet information on Chipsets (Tx/Rx) provided on each board for more detailed information. National Semiconductor Corporation Date: 5/14/2008 Page 5 of 37...
Note +4V is the MAXIMUM voltage that should ever be applied to the SERDES Serializer (DS99R105) or De-serializer (DS99R106) VDD terminal. Damage to the device(s) can result if the voltage maximum is exceeded. National Semiconductor Corporation Date: 5/14/2008 Page 6 of 37...
