USER’S MANUAL ISL34341KIT1Z, ISL76321ARZ-EVAL1Z AN1455 Evaluation Kit Rev. 2.00 Jan 31, 2011 Overview There are slight differences between the ISL34341 and ISL76321 kits. The ISL76321 uses a Molex cable instead of This manual covers both the ISL34341 and ISL76321 Rosenberger which the ILS34341 uses. Unless specifically evaluation kits.

ISL34341KIT1Z, ISL76321ARZ-EVAL1Z Quickstart 1. Scope settings • All channels 100mV/div., DC 50Ω coupling. Assuming a raw RGB source is hooked up to J20, this section • Time base 100ns/div. provides a sample startup procedure. • Trigger on rising edge of Ch3 (ser.VSYNC) TABLE 4.
ISL34341KIT1Z, ISL76321ARZ-EVAL1Z GUI Usage • Open the GUI, double click “Intersil_I2C_Comm_V316.exe”. • Load the register map definition file: ISL34341_Serializer.isl Open two instances of the GUI so that one controls the serializer (File->Open->Comm Register Definitions) and another the deserializer. The two GUIs will communicate •...

ISL34341KIT1Z, ISL76321ARZ-EVAL1Z PRBS GUI Setups Figure 8 and Figure 9 show the GUI setup for the serializer and deserializer when running the PRBS. The PRBS setup condition changes from the register defaults are shown inside red circles. The error count is an 8 bit value read in the deseralizer register 0x07 and is circled in green.

DESERIALIZER CONFIGURATION It is important to monitor the clock output and status pin on the To return to normal video you can program the register values deserializer in addition to the error count in 0x07. This ensures back to their previous values or simply do a reset of both chips.
