How to set up the Demo Evaluation Kit:
The DS90UB901Q/902Q evaluation boards consist of two sections. The first part of the
board provides the point-to-point interface for transmitting parallel video data. The second
part of the board allows bi-directional control communication of an I
2
C bus control of using
a MCU/FPGA to programming a remote peripheral device via the Deserailizer.
The PCB routing for the Serializer input pins (DIN) accept incoming parallel video data at
1.8V/3.3V LVCMOS signals from J1 IDC connector. The FPD-Link III interface uses a
single twisted pair cable (provided). The output pins (ROUT) are accessed through a J7
IDC connector. Please follow these steps to set up the evaluation kit for bench testing and
performance measurements:
1) A two (2) meter high speed USB 2.0 cable has been included in the kit. Connect the 4-
pin USB A side of cable harness to the serializer board and the other
side of the harness, the 5-pin mini USB jack to the Deserializer board.
This completes the FPD-Link III interface connection.
NOTE: The DS9UB901Q and DS9UB902Q are NOT USB compliant and should
not be plugged into a USB device nor should a USB device be plugged into the
demo boards.
2) Jumpers and switches have been configured at the factory; they should not require any
changes for immediate operation of the chipset. See text on Configuration settings
and datasheet for more details.
3) From the video source, connect a flat cable (not supplied) to the Serializer board and
connect another flat cable (not supplied) from the Deserializer board to the controller.
Note: For 50 ohm signal sources, provide 1.8V/3.3V LVCMOS input signal levels into
DIN[13:0],HS,VS and PCLK and add 50 ohm parallel termination resistors R3-R19 on
the DS9UB901Q Serializer board.
4) Connect the Serializer I
2
C ports to the I
2
C of the peripheral slave device. Connect the
Deserializer I
2
C ports to the I
2
C bus of the MCU/FPGA (I
2
C master).
5) Power for the Serializer and Deserializer boards must be supplied externally through
Power Jack (VDD). Grounds for both boards are connected through Power Jack (VSS)
(see section below).
