1.1 Overview

The 2-GBPS differential repeater evaluation module (EVM) is designed for

evaluation of the SN65LVDS100, SN65LVDS101, and SN65CML100

differential repeaters/ translators. The SN65LVDS100 and SN65LVDS101

devices both incorporate wide common-mode range receivers, allowing

receipt of LVDS, LVPECL, or CML input signals. The SN65LVDS100 provides

an LVDS output, the SN65LVDS101 incorporates an LVPECL output driver,

and the SN65CML100 delivers a CML output. Both devices provide a V

reference voltage to support receiving of single-ended LVPECL input signals,

or biasing of ac-coupled inputs. The EVM can be ordered with the

SN65LVDS100, SN65LVDS101, or SN65CML100 installed. Orderable EVM

part numbers are shown in Table 1-1.

Detailed information relating to the SN65LVDS100, SN65LVDS101, and

SN65CML100 can be found in the device data sheet, a copy of which is

shipped as part of the EVM or available from www.ti.com. A picture of the EVM,

with an SN65LVDS100 device installed, is shown in Figure 1-1.
