Chapter 1 The M-LVDS Evaluation Module This document describes the multipoint low-voltage differential-signaling (M-LVDS) evaluation module (EVM) used to aid designers in development and analysis of this new signaling technology. The Texas Instruments SN65MLVD200A, SN65MLVD201, SN65MLVD202A, SN65MLVD203, SN65MLVD204A, SN65MLVD205A, SN65MLVD206, SN65MLVD207 series are low-voltage differential line drivers and receivers complying with the M-LVDS standard (TIA/EIA−899). The EVM kit contains the a

Overview 1.1 Overview The EVM comes with all the production devices in Table 1−1. The SN65MLVD201 and SN65MLVD207 are installed on the circuit board, and can easily be replaced with the other devices supplied. The M-LVDS devices evaluated with this EVM are in the SN75ALS180 and SN75176 footprint. Use of these industry standard footprints allows the designer to easily configure the parts into a simplex or half-duplex data bus. These are all TIA/EIA−899 M-LVDS standard compliant devices. While ini

M-LVDS Standard TIA/EIA−899 The EVM has been designed with the individual driver and receiver section (SN75ALS180 footprint, U1) on one half of the board and the transceiver section (SN75176 footprint, U2) on the other half (see Figure 3−1). The EVM as delivered incorporates two 100-Ω termination resistors at each driver output, receiver input, and transceiver I/O. These allow the user to evaluate a single driver, receiver, or transceiver, while not having to deal with a transmission line or add

Configurations 1.4 Configurations The M-LVDS EVM board allows the user to construct various bus configurations. The two devices on the EVM allow for point-to-point simplex, parallel-terminated point-to-point simplex, and two-node multipoint operation. All of these modes of operation can be configured through onboard jumpers, external cabling, and different resistor combinations. The devices which are delivered with the EVM change output operation but, configuration of jumpers to setup the transm

Configurations 1.4.2 Multidrop A multidrop configuration (see Figure 1−5) with two receiver nodes can be simulated with the EVM. To get additional receiver nodes on the same bus requires additional EVMs. M-LVDS controlled driver transition times and higher signal levels help to accommodate the multiple stubs and additional loads on the bus. This does not exempt good design practices, which would keep stubs short to help prevent excessive signal reflections. A bus line termination could be placed

The two devices can be powered with independent supplies or with a single supply. Sending and receiving data between backplanes, racks, or cabinets where separate power sources may exist can have offset ground potentials between nodes. Jumpers W7, 8, 9, and 10 tie the two separate power and ground planes tog

Typical Cable Test Configurations 2.1 Typical Cable Test Configurations Each of the following test configurations is a transmission line consisting of a twisted-pair cable connected on the 2-pin connectors (P1, P2, or P3). Table 2−1 shows the possible configurations. In addition to the different transmission topologies, the EVM can also be configured to run off two or three separate power supplies, as described in the previous section. This would allow the user to induce a ground shift or offset

Typical Cable Test Configurations 2.1.2 Point-to-Point Parallel Terminated Simplex Transmission 1) Connect a twisted-pair cable from P1 to P2. 2) Verify resistor R4 and R7 are installed. 3) Remove resistors R5 and R6. This properly terminates the transmission line at both ends. 4) Enable the driver by connecting the jumper on W2 between pin 1 and pin 2, or U1 pin 4 to V .
