General Hardware Test Setup Procedure

  1. Check the EVM jumper settings to ensure they match Figure 1-1.

  2. Connect a 5 V power supply to the power jack (PWR_JACK), connector J26 on the DS560DF810EVM board.

  3. Check the DS2 (PWR) LED. The LED light should be on.

  4. Connect the USB Type Mini-B Cable from PC to the USB port (J1) of the EVM.

  5. Check the DS4 (USB_PWR) LED.

  6. The 5 V voltage is regulated down to 3.3 V on the EVM (refer to Figure 1-2).

    • The 3.3 V supply is used to derive the 1.2 V and 1.8 V rails for the DS560DF810 retimer.

    • In addition, the 3.3 V voltage directly powers up the EEPROM, FTDI USB interface chip and level shifter devices.

    • VDD 1.2 V is powered up first and secondly the VDD 1.8 V.

    • VDD 1.2 V uses DC-DC regulator, while the VDD 1.8 V regulation is done through LDO.

  7. Check the DS1 LED (3.3 V) to confirm it is on.

  8. The default EVM jumper settings are for using external CAL_CLK_IN signal. If using this setup case, connect the external clock signal to the retimer CAL_CLK_IN pin through the board connector J100.

Recommended CAL_CLK_IN external signal characteristics

  • 1.8 V LVCMOS compatible clock or sinusoidal signal

  • 25 MHz frequency ± 100 PPM
