    What is MuxIt? 1.1 What is MuxIt? MuxIt is a family of general-purpose building blocks designed to serialize and deserialize parallel data. This family includes three types of devices support- ing simplex communications: A PLL frequency multiplier (SN65LVDS150), a serializer-transmitter (SN65LVDS151), and a receiver-deserializer (SN65LVDS152).

  • Page 10: Serializer Board

    Serializer Board 2.1 Serializer Board The serializer board (P/N 6422795A) uses three SN65LVDS151 MuxIt serializer-transmitter devices (U2–U4) and an SN65LVDS150 phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency multiplier (U1) to convert parallel single-ended inputs to a serialized LVDS link containing one or two data pairs and a clock pair. The serializer board will be referred to as A1 and the deserializer board will be referred to as A2 throughout this document to identify jumper, connector, test point, and device references with the appropriate board.

    Serializer Board other can be remotely powered through the J2 connector. The GND connection between the two boards can be established by installing A1:JMP-11 and A2:JMP-3 on the deserializer. The VCC connection between the two can be established by installing A1:JMP-12 and A2:JMP-2 on the deserializer.

    Deserializer Board Figure 2–2. Serializer Board 2.2 Deserializer Board The deserializer board (P/N 6422796A) uses three SN65LVDS152 receiver-deserializers (A2:U2–U4) and a SN65LVDS150 PLL frequency multiplier (A2:U1) to accept the serialized data and clock signals and convert this serialized data stream back to the original parallel single-ended outputs. A block diagram and photograph of the deserializer board is provided in Figures 2–3 and 2–4, respectively.

    Adapter Header Figure 2–4. Deserializer Board 2.3 Adapter Header Two connectors are included, one on each board, so the user can use his own interconnect to evaluate and predict performance. The user can connect the two boards using any suitable cable of their choice, such as UTP CAT-5, or the two boards may be connected directly using the adapter header provided.

  • Page 18: Pattern Generator

    Pattern Generator 3.1 Pattern Generator A signal or pattern generator can provide a clock reference input signal to the serializer board. Twenty simultaneous inputs are required to fully exercise the cascade inputs, so a pattern generator with 20 parallel outputs and a clock rate range up to 50 MHz is suggested.

    Chapter 5 System Design Issues This chapter discusses basic design issues and board layout guidelines used in designing the MuxIt EVM boards. These guidelines should be followed to ensure the user is successful in designing their MuxIt interface. The user should also refer to the Application Note SLLA014, Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) Design Notes , for general board layout guidelines.
  • Page 30: Pc Board Layout Considerations

    PC Board Layout Considerations 5.1 PC Board Layout Considerations The difference in propagation delay of signal interfaces is an important parameter, and the signal interface between the PLL and the serializer or deserializer devices needs to be matched in length and medium. Propagation delays are inevitable, but it is important to maintain a timing relationship between the multiplied clock (MCO, MCI) and the link clock reference (LCRO, LCRI) signals at the source end.
