1. Introduction
The Texas Instruments DS90UB926QSEVB evaluation kit (EVB) provides an easy way to evaluate the
operation and performance of the DS90UB926Q 2.975Gbps FPD-Link III deserializer.

* The default factory configuration is VDDIO = 3.3V. 3.3V does not have to be applied externally. To
interface to 1.8V inputs, 1.8V must applied externally. For VDDIO = 1.8V, move jumper on JP2 to short pins 1
and 2.

1.3. Operation – Quick Setup
Make sure S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and JP2 are configured as shown in Figure 1.
1) Turn on the serializer and apply PCLK.
Typically this would be the DS90UB925Q EVB.
2) If interfacing to 3.3V LVCMOS, skip this step, otherwise:
when interfacing to 1.8V LVCMOS inputs (downstream device), move factory jumper from pin-2/3 to pin 1
to connect to pin-1/2 and apply 1.8V power to pin 1 of JP1. This will connect the external 1.8V to the
DS90UB926Q VDDIO, otherwise skip this step.
3) Apply 3.3V power to the DS90UB926Q VDD.
3.3V
4) Look for the green LED2 to light up on the DS90UB926Q EVB. If the green LED is lit and stable, then the
DS90UB926Q is LOCKED to the FPD-Link III serial stream. To be absolutely sure the DS90UB926Q is
locked, use a scope to monitor off JP6 (pin 1 = LOCK, pin 2 = VSS).
CONGRATULATIONS, you are up and running!
If not continue to the next step…
1.4. Trouble Shooting the EVB
1) Check power supply polarity!!! Warning: reverse supply polarity can damage the board.
2) Check to make sure there is sufficient current by checking that the voltage (3.3V) is correct at J6.
3) Check polarity of SER to DES cable interface. e.g. SER DOUT+ is going to RIN+ of DES and vice versa.
4) Check to make sure there is a FPD-Link III signal by probing on both
5) Go back to figure 1 and double check factory settings.

2. Board Setup Details
This section describes, in detail, the connectors and jumpers on the board as well as how to properly
connect, set up, and use the DS90UB926Q EVB.
2.1. Power Connections
1) Connect ground to J7.
2) Connect an external 3.3V into J6. This is the core voltage of the DS90UB926Q.
3) For VDDIO = 1.8V, connect ground to pin 2 of JP1.
4) Connect an external 1.8V into pin 1 of JP1. This is VDDIO power.
2.2. FPD-Link III Connection
J12, J13 – is the default SMA connector. Apply an FPD-Link III serial stream into J12 and J13. Note: J12
goes to RxIN+, J13 goes to RxIN- of the DS90UB926Q. Typically the serializer will be the DS90UB925Q.
2.3. Factory Set Switch Settings and Jumpers Default Configuration
S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and JP2 are factory configured as shown in Figure 2 for plug and play operation. For
each of these 3-pin headers JP2, a jumper must be placed as shown.
1)
The S1 switch is factory set as shown below.
The PDB switch is set HIGH and will turn on the DS90UB926Q upon power up.
SW2 is a momentary switch. Instead of toggling switch 1 of S1 to do a PDB toggle, press SW2 to do a
PDB toggle.
4 DS90UB926QSEVB User’s Guide Sept 2012

2) The S2 switch is factory set as shown below.
The OEN and OSS_SEL switch are set HIGH and will enable the DS90UB926Q outputs to toggle upon
power up.
3) The S3 and S4 switches are factory set as shown below.
All switches are set HIGH except 58 on S4. This sets IDx address to 58. Note only one switch is allowed
LOW at a time.

4) The S5 switch is factory set as shown below.
All switches are set HIGH except 1. This sets MODE_SEL address to 1. Note only one switch is allowed
LOW at a time.
5) On JP2, a 2-pin jumper is factory placed as shown below.
The jumper sets VDDIO to 3.3V. Note 3.3V does not need to be applied externally.

2.4. LVCMOS Output Connector Description
J10 – R[7:0], G[7:0], B[7:0], HS, VS, DE, PCLK is the output connector for the DS90UB926Q data outputs.
These are the LVCMOS outputs of the DS90UB926Q, which are the odd numbered pins (left side pins on the
board). The even numbered pins (right side pins on the board) go to pin 2 (labeled “STRAP”) of JP12. The
factory configuration has a jumper resistor R145 that ties the even numbered pins (STRAP) to ground.
