The device linearly compensates for channel loss in backplane and active-cable applications. The architecture of SN65LVCP1414 linear-redriver is designed to work effectively with ASIC or FPGA products implementing digital equalization using decision feedback equalizer (DFE) technology. SN65LVCP1414 preserves the integrity (composition) of the received signal ensuring optimum DFE and system performance. SN65LVCP1414 provides a low power linear-redriver solution while at the same time extending the effectiveness of DFE. 2 EVM PCB and High-Speed Design Considerations Use the EVM and the contents of this guide to evaluate device parameters in addition to helping with highspeed board layout. As the frequency of operation increases, special care is required to ensure that the highest signal integrity is maintained. Achieve this by controlling the board's impedance to 50 Ω singleended or 100-Ω differential. The use of vias is minimized and, when necessary, are designed to minimize impedance discontinuities along the transmission line. Care was taken to control trace length mismatch (board skew) to less than ±0.001 in. Overall, the board layout is designed and optimized for high-speed operation. Thus, understanding impedance control and transmission line effects are crucial when designing high-speed boards. Some of the advanced features offered by this board include: • SN65LVCP1414 PCB (printed-circuit board), designed for optimal high-speed signal integrity using Rogers Material for the outer signal layers and FR-4 for the inner layers. All Gigabit signals are routed over the Rogers Material for minimal signal loss. • SMA and header fixtures are easily connected to test equipment • All input and output signals are accessible for rapid prototyping • On-board capacitors provide AC coupling of high-speed transmit and receive signals 3 SN65LVCP1414 EVM Kit Contents The SN65LVCP1414 EVM Kit contains the following: • SN65LVCP1414 EVM Board • SN65LVCP1414 EVM User’s Guide (this document) • USB Dongle Board • CD-ROM containing GUI (Graphical User Interface) software 4 SN65LVCP1414 EVM Board Configuration The SN65LVCP1414 operates from a single 2.5-V or a 3.3-V power supply with a 0.5 A or greater current rating. The EVM provides SMA connections for all input and output channels for device evaluation with full configuration control of the device through I2C™, using the provided SN65LVCP1414 EVM GUI, or GPIO, using the on-board jumpers. 4 SN65LVCP1414 Evaluation Module (EVM) Copyright © 20112, Texas Instruments Incorporated SLLU169 – July 20112 Submit Documentation Feedback SN65LVCP1414 EVM Board Configuration www.ti.com VCC GND IN0P OUT0P IN0N OUT0N IN1P OUT1P IN1N OUT1N IN2P OUT2P IN2N OUT2N IN3P OUT3N IN3N OUT3P USB Dongle Connection Figure 1.
