LV24EVK01
Channel Link II Ser/Des
Evaluation Kit
Rev 0.3
Aug, 2010
General Description
The LV24EVK01 is designed to allow for easy evaluation of the DS92LV2421 and DS92LV2422 Channel Link II Ser/Des. This
kit allows for 2 basic methods of evaluation:
1) Users may apply parallel clock and data, and evaluate the power, jitter and cable performance of the Ser/Des. Or,
2) Apply only a parallel clock and enable BIST mode. This allows the user to easily evaluate the serial link and check
device feature functionality such as transmit de-emphasis, receive equalization, SSCG, etc.
The LV24EVK01 boards uses USB connectors as the serial Channel Link II inputs/outputs. SMA connectors can also be
attached and configured for serial input/output if other types of the cable are desired.
