DESCRIPTION
The SP3508 Evaluation Board is designed to analyze the SP3508 multi-protocol transceivers.
The evaluation board provides access points to all of the driver and receiver I/O pins so that
the user can measure electrical characteristics and waveforms of each signal. The SP3508
Evaluation Board also includes a DB-25 serial port connector which is configured to a EIA-530
pinout. This allows easy connections to other DTE or DCE systems as well as network
analyzers. The evaluation board also has a set of jumpers to allow the user to select the mode
of operation and test the data latch feature. Furthermore, the SP3508 Evaluation Board
provides the means to test both local and remote driver/receiver Loopback as well as evaluate
the SP3508 in a DCE or DTE configuration.
This Manual is split into sections to give the user the information necessary to perform a
thorough evaluation of the SP3508. The Board Schematic and Layout section describes
the I/O pins, the jumpers and the other components used on the evaluation board. The
board schematic, layout diagram and DB-25 connector are also covered in the Board
Schematic and Layout section. The Using the SP3508 Evaluation Board section details
the configuration of the SP3508 evaluation board for parametric testing.

SP508 EVALUATION BOARD
BOARD LAYOUT
1. The SP3508 Evaluation Board has been
designed to easily and conveniently provide
access to all inputs and outputs under test.
2. Figure 1 is a schematic of the evaluation
board. The schematic shows the location of
the driver and receiver access points as well
as the Jumpers, V
CC
, GND and the DB-25
Connector.
3. Figure 3 to Figure 6 shows the layout of
the SP3508 Evaluation Board.
4. I/O Pinouts
The SP3508 Evaluation Board has been
designed to easily and conveniently provide
access to all inputs and outputs to the device
under test. Each Driver has probe points for
the inputs and outputs. Each Receiver has
probe points for the inputs and outputs.
5. At the left of the board is a set of jumpers.
Each driver and receiver has its own indi-
vidual enable pin. This set of jumpers con-
trols the enabling and disabling of each
driver of receiver. Another set of jumpers is
to configure the 3 bit decoder, to enable/
disable loopback, to enable/disable latch
and to enable/disable term_off functions. In
addition, JP1 - JP4 allow the user to choose
which signals the user can access through
the DB-25 connector. JP5 allows the user to
set the driver input to GND, V
CC
or external
source.
6. Also located on the SP3508 evaluation
board are six 1uf charge pump capacitors, a
1µF bypass capacitor for V
CC
and two 50Ω
termination resistors.
7. 1 Pomona BNC female connector is
mounted on the board to provide input signal
for evaluation.
8. Figure 2 shows a RS-232 & EIA530 DB-
25 Connector.
9. Table 1 shows the pinout of the DB-25
connector used to connect to a communica-
tion analyzer such as the TTC Firebird 6000.
