1-1 Chapter 1 1 Overview This chapter provides a high-level description of the 4x4 crosspoint switch EVM mounted with either a SN65LVDS125A, 4x4 1.5-Gbps or a SN65LVDS250, 4x4 2.5-Gbps crosspoint switch. Topic Page 1.1 Sample Functional Configurations 1-2 1.2 Signal Paths 1-4
Page 10 - Sample Functional Configurations
1 Overview 1-2 1.1 Sample Functional Configurations The 4x4 crosspoint switch is a fully non-blocking switch that provides flexibility in switch configuration for the desired application. A sample of various functions for which the EVMs can be configured is shown in Figure 1-1. S 1 0 S 1 1 S 2 0 S 2...

2-1 Chapter 2 2 Setup and Required Equipment Both the SN65LVDS125A and the SN65LVDS250 LVDS driver output characteristics are compliant with the requirements of the TIA/EIA-644 standard. LVDS drivers nominally provide a 350-mV differential signal, with a 1.2-V offset from ground. These levels are at...

2 Setup and Required Equipment 2-4 2.2 Observing an Output In order to minimize the parasitic capacitance in high-speed measurements (probe capacitance), the 4x4 crosspoint switch EVM provides an offset power plane (layer 5). This power plane allows the user to offset the device so that the common-m...
