MAX7474EVKIT+

19-4040; Rev 0; 2/08 MAX7474 Evaluation Kit The MAX7474 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested printed-circuit board (PCB) that configures the MAX7474 IC for automatically equalizing a baseband composite video input signal from low-cost, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) such as Category 5e (Cat 5e) cable. The MAX7474 EV kit operates from a single 5V DC power supply. The EV kit accepts differential video input signals and provides a single-ended output. The EV kit features loss-of-sync and loss-of-burst outputs and also provides an option to set the video output signal’s back-porch DC level.

Follow the steps below to verify board operation. Caution: Do not turn on the power supply until all connections are completed. 1) Install a shunt across pins 2-3 of jumper JU1 and a shunt across pins 1-2 of jumper JU2 (for ≥ 225m manual cable length equalization). 2) Install a shunt across pins 1-2 of jumper JU3 (back-porch DC level set by R4). 3) Verify that no shunt is installed on jumper JU4 (ACcoupled video output). 4) Connect the differential video input signal to the VIN connector or the V_INP and VINN test points. 5) Connect the VOUT BNC connector on the EV kit to the input of the video measurement equipment. 6) Connect the power-supply ground to the GND pad on the EV kit. 7) Connect the 5V DC power supply to the VCC pad on the EV kit. 8) Set the video signal generator for the desired video input signal. 9) Turn on the power supply and enable the video signal generator output. 10) Analyze the video output signal with the video measurement equipment. Detailed Description of Hardware The MAX7474 EV kit is designed to evaluate the MAX7474 in a 16-pin SSOP package. The MAX7474 is an adaptive equalizer for video over UTP cable. The EV kit circuit is designed on a 2-layer, 1oz copper PCB and all components are installed on the top layer. The MAX7474 EV kit operates from a 5V DC power supply that can deliver at least 100mA of current. 2 The MAX7474 EV kit accepts differential video input signals and provides a single-ended output nominal 1VP-P. A differential video input signal can be connected to the VIN RJ-45 connector (pins 7-8), or the V_INP and V_INN test points on the MAX7474 EV kit. See Table 4 in the Jumper Selection section for the VIN RJ45 connector pin configuration. The MAX7474 EV kit automatically equalizes the baseband composite video signal from a low-cost UTP cable, and provides an option to set the fixed equalization level to compensate for different input cable lengths up to 300m in the absence of a burst signal. The MAX7474 fixed equalization level is jumper selectable. See the Jumper Selection section for more details. The MAX7474 EV kit provides an option to set the back-porch DC level for the video output signal. The video output’s back-porch DC level can be set by an on-board voltage reference (U2) or by an external voltage source connected to the BP_LVL BNC connector. U2 is a MAX6037 voltage reference that provides an on-board 0 to 2.5V voltage reference for the backporch DC level. Potentiometer R4 is used to set the back-porch DC level. The back-porch DC level is set to 1.4V at the factory. See the Jumper Selection section for more detail. Jumper Selection Fixed Equalization Level (FEQ0, FEQ1) The MAX7474 EV kit provides an option to set the fixed equalization level for the video input signal to compensate for different cable lengths in the absence of burst. Jumpers JU1 and JU2 set the fixed equalization level pins (FEQ0 and FEQ1) of the MAX7474 IC. When using cable lengths greater than 75m, set the fixed equalization level according to Table 1. Table 1. JU1 and JU2 Jumper Selection (FEQ0, FEQ1) SHUNT POSITION JU2 (FEQ1) JU1 (FEQ0) EQUALIZATION LEVEL (dB) COMPENSATED CABLE LENGTH (m) 2-3 (low) 2-3 (low) 0 0 to 75 2-3 (low) 1-2 (high) +4.5 75 to 225 1-2* (high) 2-3* (low) +10.5 ≥ 225 1-2 (high) 1-2 (high) +10.5 ≥ 225 *Default position. _______________________________________________________________________________________ MAX7474 Evaluation Kit Table 2. JU3 Jumper Selection (BPLVL) RJ-45 Connector Pin Configuration (VIN) The MAX7474 EV kit provides an RJ-45 connector to accept a differential video input signal at the VIN RJ45 connector. Table 4 lists the RJ-45 connector pin configuration. Table 4. RJ-45 Connector Pin Configuration (VIN) BACK-PORCH DC LEVEL RJ-45 (VIN) PIN SIGNAL 1–6 No connection Connected to U2, pin 5 (through potentiometer R4; 1.4V default) 0 to 2.5V (set by potentiometer R4) 7 V_INN 8 V_INP Connected to BP_LVL BNC connector External reference source SHUNT POSITION MAX7474 BPLVL PIN 1-2* 2-3 *Default position. Output Coupling (VOUT) The MAX7474 EV kit provides an option to select the output coupling of the video output signal on the MAX7474 EV kit for AC- or DC-coupling. Jumper JU4 selects the output coupling for the MAX7474 output. See Table 3 for shunt positions. Table 3. JU4 Jumper Selection (VOUT) SHUNT POSITION MAX7474 OUTPUT Installed DC-coupled Not installed* AC-coupled Header J1 (LOB, LOS) The MAX7474 EV kit provides a 3-pin header to access the LOB and LOS status output signals and GND. The LOB outputs a logic-high when the color burst portion of the video signal is not detected at the input. Similarly, the LOS outputs a logic-high when the sync signal of the video signal is not detected at the input. Table 5 lists the header J1 pinout. Table 5.

Jumper JU3 selects the voltage source that sets the back-porch DC level for the MAX7474 BPLVL pin. See Table 2 for shunt positions. Evaluates: MAX7474 MAX7474 Evaluation Kit Figure 1.
