EVAL BOARD USER’S MANUAL
OVERVIEW
technical details about the NCN7200 specifications and
operation. The board is implemented in four metal layers
with FR-4 dielectric. The total PCB thickness is 1.62 mm
with dimensions of 51 mm by 133 mm.
This evaluation board can be used to evaluate the device
performance and it allows the user to place the NCN7200
device in a real application environment. When the intention
is to evaluate the device considering the specifications given
in the datasheet, it is important to take into account the
additional circuitry which may include changes in the input
impedance matching and termination.
This document gives a detailed description of the
NCN7200 Evaluation Board with the bill of materials, board
schematic, and a layout overview of the board. The
appropriate lab test setups are also provided.
The NCN7200 Evaluation Board has been designed for a
quick evaluation of the NCN7200 Gigabit Ethernet LAN
Switch with 2:1 Mux/Demux and Power-down Feature.
Among its main characteristics, this evaluation board has
been constructed to easily interface with the customer’s
systems and equipment through Ethernet connectors as well
as SMA connectors.
This document must be used with the NCN7200 datasheet
available on www.onsemi.com. The datasheet contains full

GET STARTED…
This demo board features three sections. Refer to Figure 3 on the next page.
Section 1: A half pin-out (differential channels A0+/- and A1+/-) of the device with Ethernet jacks
1. Use the regulated DC power supply to set VDD = 3.3 V. Connect the supply between the VDD and GND banana
connectors on the PCB using the banana cables.
2. Connect one of the Ethernet Cables between the Ethernet port on the computer and the Common I/O J1.
3. Connect the second Ethernet Cable from the desired I/O at J2 or J3 to a network internet connection. Adjust the Logic
Controls PD and SEL for the desired output.
4. When the switch is turned on between the computer and the network connection, use the detected network to confirm
operation of the device by accessing the internet.
Section 2: A single differential pair with SMA connectors
1. Use the regulated DC power supply to set VDD = 3.3 V. Connect the supply between the VDD and GND banana
connectors on the PCB using the banana cables.
2. Use the jumper to connect the pins on J6 to power the second device U2.
3. Use the SMA cables to connect the Waveform Generator to A0+/- connectors and the Oscilloscope to the B0+/connectors. Adjust the Logic Controls PD and SEL for the desired output.
4. Set the waveform generator to the desired bit rate up to 1 Gbps (1000BASE-T) and amplitude up to 3 Vpp per
differential channel.
5. Observe the output at the oscilloscope.
Section 3: A pass-through on the board for baseline measurements with SMA connectors
1. Use the SMA cables to connect the Waveform Generator to connectors J15 and J16, and connect the Oscilloscope to
connectors J17 and J18. Adjust the Logic Controls PD and SEL for the desired output.
2. Set the waveform generator to the desired bit rate up to 1 Gbps (1000BASE-T) and any nominal amplitude.
3. Observe the output at the oscilloscope.

ELECTRICAL LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
• The ground plane of the PCB will be used to determine
Implementing a high speed switch device requires careful
PCB design to preserve signal integrity. The evaluation
board serves as a layout example and can support the design
engineers to preserve high speed performances.
Electrical layout guidelines:
• The bypass capacitor must be placed as close as
possible to the VDD input pin for noise immunity.
• The characteristic impedance of each segment must be
50 W single-ended and 100 W differential according to
IEEE standard 802.3.
the characteristic impedance of each line.
• All corresponding differential A+/− line segment pairs
must be the same length.
• The use of vias to route these signals should be avoided
•
when possible.
The use of turns or bends to route these signals should
be avoided when possible. When bends are needed, use
45° bends instead of 90° bends.
