EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range between 1.2 V and 3.3 V.
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible
damage to the EVM. If there are questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI
field representative prior to connecting the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or
possible permanent damage to the EVM. Please consult the EVM User’s Guide prior to
connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification,
please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than
60°C. The EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above 60°C as long
as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components include but are not limited
to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These
types of devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User’s Guide.
When placing measurement probes near these devices during operation, please be aware
that these devices may be very warm to the touch.

Electrostatic Sensitive Devices
This EVM contains components that can potentially be damaged by
electrostatic discharge. Always transport and store the EVM in its
supplied ESD bag when not in use. Handle using an antistatic
wristband. Operate on an antistatic work surface. For more
information on proper handling, refer to SSYA008.
The SN65LVCP22 (LVDS output) and SN65LVCP23 (LVPECL output) are
high-speed 2x2 crosspoint switches. The four different functions that these
crosspoints provide are shown in Figure 1–1. The functions of these
crosspoints are selected via pins SEL0 and SEL1. Control pins EN0 and EN1
enable or disable the outputs. The receiver has a wide input common-mode
voltage range with an ability to accept LVDS, LVPECL and CML signaling
levels.

1.2Signal Paths
The signal paths on this EVM include 16 edge-launch SMA connectors
(J1–J16) for high-speed data transmission, 4 jumpers (JMP1, JMP2 for
DUT1and JMP5, JMP6 for DUT2) for active switch logic control, 4
jumpers (JMP3, JMP4 for DUT1and JMP7, JMP8 for DUT2) for
enabling and disabling the outputs, and three banana jacks (J17, J18,
J19) for power and ground connections. See Figure 1–3.
The output characteristics of the SN65LVCP23 (LVPECL) drivers are
generally loaded with 50-Ω resistors to a termination bias voltage, V
. VTT is
TT
usually 2 V below the supply voltage of the driver circuit. When the driver
operates from a 3.3-V supply, V
is set to approximately 1.3 V.
TT
The output characteristics of the SN65LVCP22 are specified in the
TIA/EIA-644 standard. LVDS drivers nominally provide a 350-mV differential
signal, with a 1.25–V offset from ground. These levels are attained when
driving a 100-W differential line-termination test load. This requirement
includes the effects of up to 32 standard receivers with their ground reference
up to 1 V d ifferent from that of the driver. This common-mode loading limitation
of LVDS drivers affects how they are observed and much of the test setup that
follows..
The EVM is designed to support the SN65LVCP22 LVDS output device as well
as the SN65LVCP23 LVPECL output device. By using the three power jacks
(J17, J18, J19), as well as installing termination resistors (R3–R8 and
R11–R16), different methods of termination and probing can be used to
evaluate the device output characteristics. The typical setup for the
SN65LVCP22 is shown in Figure 2–1.

2.2Applying an Input
When using a general-purpose signal generator with 50-Ω output impedance,
make sure that the signal levels are between 0-V and 4-V with respect to J19,
device under test ground (DUT GND), designated as Vcc01.
Inputs should be applied to the SMA connectors J1, J2, J3, and J4 for DUT1
(or J9, J10, J11 and J12 for DUT2). Matched cable lengths must be used when
connecting the signal generator to the EVM to avoid inducing skew between
the noninverting and inverting inputs. The EVM comes with 100-Ω resistors
installed across the differential inputs for LVDS termination. The simple 100-Ω
terminations do not provide the necessary termination for LVPECL or CML
output structures. In order to interface the SN65LVCP22/23 EVM with CML or
LVPECL drivers, external terminations are required. Figure 2–2 shows an
example termination for LVPECL and CML output structures. Remove
resistors R1, R2, R10 and R19 when using the external terminations.

The use of external resistors creates a significant stub between the
termination and the actual device receivers. The user needs to verify that the
transition time of the input signal, coupled with the stub length, does not lead
to reflection problems. In normal applications, the termination would be placed
as close as possible to the device inputs to minimize reflections.
The control lines SEL0 and SEL1 require LVTTL levels and are stimulated by
the Vcc power supply, via jumpers JMP1 and JMP2 (DUT1) and JMP5 and
JMP6 (DUT2). Table 2–1 shows the different functions and the control line
settings for each.
[1]
CML is not a standardized physical layer and therefore the output structures and required termination differ from vendor
Direct connection to an oscilloscope with 50–Ω internal terminations to ground
is accomplished without R3–R8 (DUT1) and R11–R16 (DUT2) installed. The
outputs are available at J5–J8 (DUT1) and J13–J16 (DUT2) for direct
connection to oscilloscope inputs. Matched cable lengths must be used when
connecting the EVM to a scope to avoid inducing skew between the
noninverting (+) and inverting (–) outputs.
The three power jacks (J17, J18, J19) are used to provide power and a ground
reference for the EVM. The power connections to the EVM determine the
common-mode load to the device. As mentioned earlier, LVDS drivers have
limited common-mode driver capability. When connecting the EVM outputs
directly to oscilloscope inputs, setting of the oscilloscope common-mode
offset voltage is required, as the oscilloscope presents low common-mode
load impedance to the device.
Returning to Figure 2–1, power supply 1 is used to provide the required 3.3 V
to the EVM. Power supply 2 is used to offset the EVM ground relative to the
DUT ground. The EVM ground is connected to the oscilloscope ground
through the returns on SMA connectors J5–J8 (DUT1) and J13–J16 (DUT2).
With power applied as shown in Figure 2–1, the common-mode voltage seen
by the SN65LVCP22 is approximately equal to the reference voltage being
used inside the device, preventing significant common-mode current to flow.
Optimum device setup can be confirmed by adjusting the voltage on power
supply 2 until its current is minimized. It is important to note that use of the dual
supplies and offsetting the EVM ground relative to the DUT ground are simply
steps needed for the test and evaluation of devices. Actual designs include
high-impedance receivers, which do not require the setup steps outlined
above.
LVPECL drivers need a 50-Ω termination to V
. A modification of Figure 2–1
TT
and the above instructions are used when evaluating an SN65LVCP23 with a
direct connection to a 50-Ω oscilloscope. With power supply 1 in Figure 2–1
set to 3.3 V, power supply 2 should be set to 1.3 V (2 V below Vcc) to provide
the correct termination voltage.
If the outputs are to be evaluated with a high-impedance probe, direct probing
on the EVM board is supported via installation of a 50-Ω resistor across the
solder pads for R6 and R8, and another 50-Ω resistor across the solder pads
for R3 and R5 for DUT1. Or, LVDS outputs can be observed by installing a
100-W resistor at R4, R7, R12, or R15. LVPECL outputs can be observed by
installing R3, R5, R11, R13, R14, and R16 (49.9-Ω resistors) and setting power
supply #2 to 1.3 V. (Note that power supply #2 must be able to sink current.)

Typical Test Results
2.4Typical Test Results
Figure 2–3 is a typical result obtained with the EVM setup shown in
Figure 2–1. The upper waveform is the difference voltage between channels
1 and 2 of the oscilloscope and the lower trace is the difference voltage
between channels 3 and 4. The DUT was configured to send the IN0+/IN0–
inputs to the outputs OUT0+/OUT0– and inputs IN1+/IN1– to outputs
OUT1+/OUT1– by setting EN0 and EN1 to a high level and by setting SEL0
23
to Gnd and SEL1 to Vcc. The stimuli were a 2
Gbps, and a 650 MHz clock to J3 and J4. The input levels for both clock and
data were a differential voltage of 400 mV, with a common-mode voltage of 0V
(referenced to the ground of the pattern generator).
