DS25BR100EVK User Manual
Overview
The DS25BR100EVK is an evaluation kit designed for demonstrating performance of the 3.125 Gbps
LVDS Single Channel Buffers with Transmit Pre-emphasis and Receive Equalization family (DS25BR100,
DS25BR110 and DS25BR120). The evaluation kit provides all three devices on a single board and three
FR4 striplines (14 (~35), 28 (~75) and 42 (~105) inches (cm) in length) for exercising devices’ signal
conditioning features (pre-emphasis and equalization).
The purpose of this document is to: familiarize you with the DS25BR100EVK, suggest the test setup
procedures and instrumentation, and guide you through some typical measurements that demonstrate
performance of the chipset in typical applications.

DS25BR100EVK Description
Figure 1 shows the top layer drawing of the PCB with the silkscreen annotations. It is a 4.5 by 4.5 inch
eight-layer PCB that has a three-device layout capable of demonstrating performance and all features of the
DS25BR100, DS25BR110 and DS25BR120. In addition, three microstrips allow easy evaluation of
transmit pre-emphasis and receive equalization.

DS25BR100 (U1) Evaluation
The DS25BR100 is a 3.125 Gbps LVDS buffer featuring two levels of transmit pre-emphasis (Off and
Medium) and two levels of receive equalization (Low and Medium). The following is a recommended test
setup procedure for the device evaluation. Figure 2 depicts a typical setup and instrumentation used for the
device evaluation.
1.
Apply the power to the device (3.3V typical) between VDD and VSS banana plug receptacles.
2.
Connect desired STRIPLINE(s) to the input and / or output of the device using short 50-ohm
coaxial cables (e.g. PE-SR402-AL from www.pasternack.com).
3.
Connect a signal source (i.e. signal generator or an LVDS driver) to the IN1 inputs on the board
and adjust the signal parameters (VOH, VOL, VCM) so that they comply with the device input
recommendations.
4.
Select equalization level by setting the EQ pin (CON2) to L (for Low setting) or H (for Medium
setting).
5.
If a STRIPLINE is connected to the device outputs, select pre-emphasis level by setting the PE pin
(CON1) to L (for Off setting) or H (for Medium setting)
6.
Connect the OUT1 outputs to an oscilloscope and view the output signals with an oscilloscope
with the bandwidth of at least 5 GHz.

DS25BR110 (U2) Evaluation
The DS25BR110 is a 3.125 Gbps LVDS buffer featuring four levels of receive equalization (Off, Low,
Medium and High). The following is a recommended test setup procedure for the device evaluation. Figure
3 depicts a typical setup and instrumentation used for the device evaluation.
1.
Apply the power to the device (3.3V typical) between VDD and VSS banana plug receptacles.
2.
Connect desired STRIPLINE to the input of the device using short 50-ohm coaxial cables (e.g.
PE-SR402-AL from www.pasternack.com).
3.
Connect a signal source (i.e. signal generator or an LVDS driver) to the IN2 inputs on the board
and adjust the signal parameters (VOH, VOL, VCM) so that they comply with the device input
recommendations.
4.
Select equalization level by setting the EQ0 (CON4) and EQ1 (CON3) pins to L or H. Refer to

3.
Connect a signal source (i.e. signal generator or an LVDS driver) to the IN3 inputs on the board
and adjust the signal parameters (VOH, VOL, VCM) so that they comply with the device input
recommendations.
4.
Select pre-emphasis level by setting the PE0 (CON5) and PE1 (CON6) pins to L or H. Refer to
