Overview
The purpose of this document is to familiarize you with the DS91M125 evaluation board, suggest the test setup
procedures and instrumentation, and to guide you through some typical measurements that will demonstrate the
performance of the device. The board enables the user to examine performance and all functions of the
DS91M125 as a standalone device.
The DS91M125 is a high-speed 1:4 M-LVDS repeater with an LVDS input designed for multipoint applications
with multiple drivers or receivers. The device conforms to TIA/EIA-899 standard. It utilizes M-LVDS technology
for low power, high-speed and superior noise immunity.
Description
Figure 1 below represents the top layer drawing of the board with the silkscreen annotations. It is a 2.5 x 3 inch
4 layer printed circuit board (PCB) that features a single DS91M125 (U2) device.

DS91M125 Evaluation in a Point-to-Point Link
The following is a recommended procedure for using and evaluating the DS91M125EVK. Figure 2 depicts a
typical setup and instrumentation used.
1. Select a single DS91M125 evaluation board.
2. Apply the power to the board (3.3 V typical) between J3 and J4 power tabs, observe the value of ICC,
and compare it with the expected value (refer to the datasheet) to ensure that the devices are
functional.
3. Enable one of the U2 driver outputs. This is accomplished by setting the DE0-3 pin to VDD (JP3-6).
4. Connect a signal source to the driver input (DI+, DI-). The signal needs to be an LVDS/MLVDS/CML/LVPECL compliant signal. Refer to the DS91M125 datasheet for the receiver input
compatibility.
5. Connect one of the U2 outputs (A0-3/B0-3) to an oscilloscope and observe the waveforms.

Figure 3 shows an eye diagram acquired at the output of the DS91M125 driver loaded with a 100-ohm resistor.
The generator connected to the driver input simulated a 100 Mbps PRBS-7 NRZ.
