Overview

The SD303/SD307 Evaluation Kit (EVK) enables evaluation of the LMH0303 3G/HD/SD SDI Cable Driver with Cable Detect or the LMH0307 3G/HD/SD SDI Dual Cable Driver with Cable Detect. A graphical user interface allows managing the SMBus registers of the LMH0303 or LMH0307 device.

Evaluation Kit (SD303EVK / SD307EVK) Contents

The EVK contains the following parts:

• SD303/SD307 EVK board assembly with either the LMH0303 or LMH0307 cable driver

• USB cable

• SD303/SD307 EVK User Guide

Evaluation Board Description

The evaluation board comes in two versions, depending on the cable driver installed:

1) SD303 with the LMH0303 cable driver

2) SD307 with the LMH0307 dual cable driver

The two cable drivers share the same evaluation board (SD303/SD307). The SD303/SD307 evaluation board silk screen shows the LMH0307 pin name terminology. Table 1 shows the pin name differences between the LMH0307

and LMH0303. The LMH0303 has a single output channel, SDO/SDO channel and refers to it as SDO0/SDO0

SDI Input and SDO Output

The SDI input connectors (J1 and J2) are 50Ω SMA connectors. The SD303/SD307 is initially configured for 100Ω differential input. To configure the SD303/SD307 for 50Ω single-ended input, remove R28 and place 49.9Ω 0402 resistors in R9 and R10. When using only one input, the other input should be terminated with a 50Ω SMA termination.

The SDO output connectors (J3 and J4 for the SD303; and J3, J4, J5, and J6 for the dual output SD307) are 75Ω BNC connectors. When using only one side of an output pair, the other side should be terminated with a 75Ω BNC termination. For example, when only using SDO0 on the LMH0307, SDO0 termination.

¯¯¯¯¯

should be terminated with a 75Ω BNC

DC Power Connectors and USB Connector

The red and black binding posts (J8 and J9) provide power for the LMH0303/LMH0307 device, and the USB connection provides power for the remaining board functions, including the microcontroller and the LEDs. For

proper operation, the SD303/SD307 should first be powered with a DC input voltage (between J8 and J9) of

3.3V ± 5% (3.6V maximum), and then the USB cable should be connected between the evaluation board and the PC. The POWER LED will flash Red while the board is powered from the 3.3 VDC supply alone, and then

change to solid Green once the USB cable is connected to the PC. The POWER LED will remain Green as long as the board is powered correctly.

JP1 – LMH0303/LMH0307 Jumper Connection to Microcontroller

A jumper block should be placed on JP1 to connect the LMH0303/LMH0307 pins to the microcontroller. The ALP software will not function correctly if this jumper block is not in place. Separate jumpers may be used, but they

must be placed to connect the following pins of JP1: RSTI (pins 11-12), SD/HD (pins 13-14), FAULT

jumpers) may be removed to control the LMH0303/LMH0307 pins externally, but then the microcontroller will no longer be able to communicate with the cable driver.

ENABLE

The ENABLE push button switch controls ENABLE, and the ENABLE LED shows its state. The ENABLE LED is Green when the cable driver is enabled (ENABLE = 1), and Red when the cable driver is disabled (ENABLE = 0).

When the cable driver is disabled, it enters a deep power down mode, and Termination Fault detection and LOS detection no longer function.

If the LOSEN register bit (bit 4 of register 05h) is set, then the cable driver can be disabled with LOS functioning. With LOSEN set, LOS

by pushing the ENABLE switch will still power down the device completely (including powering down Termination Fault detection and LOS device will power down with the LOS

power back on.

The SD/HD push button switch controls SD/HD, and the SD/HD LED shows its state. The SD/HD LED is Green when the cable driver is configured for HD/3G edge rates (SD/HD = 0), and Red when the cable driver is configured for SD edge rates (SD/HD = 1). The default setting for the SD/HD LED is Green for HD/3G edge rates.

The RSTI

push button switch controls RSTI driver to its default register settings. The RSTI the cable driver is held in reset (RSTI toggle reset: once to put the device in reset mode (RSTI

Termination Faults (TFxx)

The Termination Fault LEDs show the state of the Termination Faults on the cable driver outputs. The Termination Fault LEDs are Green to indicate proper termination, Red to indicate improper or missing termination, and off to indicate the Termination Faults are not valid under the current cable driver conditions.

The cable driver must be enabled and must have a valid input signal in order to properly detect cable termination on the output. If no signal is detected and the LOS

¯¯¯¯

LED is Red, then the Termination Fault detectors (TF1P, TF1N, TF0P, and TF0N for the LMH0307) cannot determine the state of the output termination and the LEDs will be off. When a valid input signal is applied, the Termination Fault detectors will show the correct state of their termination. If the cable driver is disabled or if the output channel is powered down, the Termination Fault LEDs will be off.

Software Setup

System Requirements

Operating System: Windows XP or Vista USB: 2.0

Installation

Download the latest software from http://www.national.com/analog/interface/sd303_307evk. Extract the ALPF_monthdayyear_major version_minor version.exe” (ex. ALPF_07312008_125_0016.exe) file to a temporary location that can be deleted later.

Make sure the evaluation board is not connected to the PC. The following installation instructions are for the Windows XP Operating System.

Install the ALP software

Execute the ALP Setup Wizard program called “ALPF_monthdayyear_major version_minor version.exe” (ex. ALPF_07312008_125_0016.exe) that was extracted to a temporary location.

There are 7 steps to the installation once the setup wizard is started:

1. Select the “Next” button.

2. Select “I accept the agreement” and then select the “Next” button.

3. Select the location to install the ALP software and then select the “Next” button.

4. Select the location for the start menu shortcut and then select the “Next” button.

5. There will then be a screen that allows the creation of a desktop and Quick Launch icon. After selecting the desired choices select the “Next” button.

6. Select the “Install” button, and the software will then be installed to the selected location.

7. Uncheck “Launch Analog LaunchPAD” and select the “Finish” button. The ALP software will start if “Launch Analog LaunchPAD” is checked, but it will not be useful until the USB driver is installed.

Power on the SD303/SD307 evaluation board with a 3.3 VDC power supply. Numerous LEDs will turn on, and the POWER LED will flash Red. Connect the PC and the SD303/SD307 evaluation board together with the USB cable. The POWER LED will stop flashing, and the “Found New Hardware Wizard” will open on the PC. Proceed to the next section to install the USB driver.

Install the USB driver

There are 6 steps to install the USB driver:

1. Select “No, not at this time” then select the “Next” button.

2. Select “Install from a list or specific location” then select the “Next” button.

3. Select “Search for the best driver in these locations”. Uncheck “Search removable media” and check “Include this location in the search”.

4. Browse to the Install Directory which is typically located at “C:\Program Files\National Semiconductor Corp\Analog LaunchPAD\vx.x.x\Drivers” and select the “Next” button. Windows should find the driver.

5. Select “Continue Anyway”.

6. Select the “Finish” button.

The software installation is complete. The POWER LED on the board should turn to solid Green. The ALP software may now be launched, as described in the next section.

Software Description

Startup

Make sure all the software has been installed and the hardware is powered on and connected to the PC. Execute “Analog LaunchPAD” from the start menu. The default start menu location is “Programs\National Semiconductor Corp\Analog LaunchPAD vx.x.x\Analog LaunchPAD”.

The application should come up in the state shown below (for the LMH0307). If it does not, see “Trouble Shooting” at the end of this document.
