Introduction
The Texas Instruments DRIVECABLE04EVK evaluation kit (EVK) helps designers evaluate the operation and
performance of the cable extender chipset consisting of the DS30EA101 adaptive cable equalizer and the
DS30BA101 differential buffer. The kit enables evaluation of this chipset with 75 coaxial cables.
The EVK includes separate evaluation boards for the two devices – one board for the transmitter and the
other board for the receiver (see Table 1 and Figure 1).

Setup
This section describes the connectors and jumpers on the boards as well as how to properly connect, set up,
and use the DRIVECABLE04-TX and DRIVECABLE04-RX boards.
2.1. DRIVECABLE04-TX Setup
BP3, BP4 – VCC, GND are the DC power banana jacks. BP3 and BP4 should be powered with a DC voltage
of 3.3V ± 5%.
S1, S2 – IN+, IN- are the 50 SMA input connectors for the DS30BA101 data inputs. These inputs have
onboard 1 F AC-coupling capacitors (C2 and C3), and are intended to receive a differential input signal via a
pair of 50 SMA cables.
B2, B1 – OUT+, OUT- are the 75 BNC output connectors for the DS30BA101 data outputs. These outputs
are intended to drive 75 coaxial cable. The DS30BA101 is a differential driver, and when using only one
output (one half of the differential pair), the unused output should be terminated with a 75 BNC termination.
2.2. DRIVECABLE04-RX Setup
BP1, BP2 – VCC, GND are the DC power banana jacks. BP3 and BP4 should be powered with a DC voltage
of 2.5V ± 5%.
B3 – IN+ is the 75 BNC input connector for the DS30EA101 data input. This input is intended to receive a
single-ended input signal via a 75 coaxial cable.

Setup
S3, S4 – OUT+, OUT- are the 50 SMA output connectors for the DS30EA101 data outputs. These outputs
have onboard 4.7 F AC-coupling capacitors (C13 and C14). The DS30EA101 has a differential output
driver, and when using only one output (one half of the differential pair), the unused output should be
terminated with a 50 SMA termination.
J3 – LOS, ¯¯¯
EN is the jumper for monitoring LOS and controlling ¯¯¯
EN . LOS is asserted high when no signal
is present at the DS30EA101 input. ¯¯¯
EN may be used to force the DS30EA101 outputs on or off, or tied to
LOS to allow automatic output enable operation. To force the outputs off, set the jumper to tie ¯¯¯
EN to VCC.
To force the outputs to be always on, set the jumper to tie ¯¯¯
EN to GND. For normal operation, set the jumper
to tie LOS to ¯¯¯
EN for automatic output enable control.
LED1 – LOS is the LED for the LOS status. This LED is GREEN when an input signal has been detected at
the DS30EA101 input, and OFF when no input signal is detected.
2.3. Operation
DRIVECABLE04-TX is the transmitter board and DRIVECABLE04-RX is the receiver board. To test these
boards, begin by applying the appropriate DC power to each board (3.3V for DRIVECABLE-TX and 2.5V for
DRIVECABLE-RX).
Apply a test signal within the DS30BA101 input specifications to the S1 and S2 50 SMA input connectors
on the DRIVECABLE04-TX board via a matched pair of 50 SMA cables.
The DS30BA101 on the DRIVECABLE04-TX board is configured to drive 75 coaxial cable. Connect this
cable to either the B1 or B2 75 BNC output connector. The other output may be sent to an oscilloscope or
other test equipment for monitoring, but if it is not used, it should be terminated with a 75 BNC termination.
Connect the other end of the 75 coaxial cable to the B3 75 BNC input connector on the DRIVECABLE04RX board. The equalized output may be observed via the S3 or S4 50 SMA output connector. Connect a
matched pair of 50 SMA cables to S3 and S4 to observe the differential output, or connect the cable to
either S3 or S4 to view the single-ended output. If only one output is used, the other output should be
terminated with a 50 SMA termination.

Board Layout
Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, and Figure 7 show the board layout for the DRIVECABLE04TX and DRIVECABLE04-RX boards.
The DRIVECABLE04-TX and DRIVECABLE04-RX are 6-layer boards (TOP / GND1 / GND2 / VCC / GND3 /
BOTTOM). The 75 microstrip traces on the top layer of the boards are referenced to GND2, and the 100
differential traces are referenced to GND1.

FCC Warning
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION
PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general customer use. It generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15 of FCC rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this equipment in other environments may cause
interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be required
to correct this interference.
EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of -0.3 V to VCC +0.3 V and the output voltage range of -0.3 V to VCC +0.3 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 85C. The EVM is designed to operate properly
with certain components above 85C 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.
