1.3.3 Power Supply
The board is normally powered via connector J3 using the provided AC wall-plug 5VDC power supply. Red LED D2 illuminates to indicate that the board is powered. Advanced power options for lab experimentation are also provisioned on the board.
1.3.4 USB Interface
The Windows® -based Microchip Timing GUI software communicates with the board via USB connector JDR1.

Chapter 2. Hardware Configuration

To provide flexibility to users, the board supports several configurations, some of which require GUI supervision via USB. Other configurations provide external device access points to the board’s serial bus by means of pin headers.

2.1 DUT SERIAL INTERFACE
The board supports operating the DUT serial interface in either SPI or I2C mode. The bus master can be either the on-board USB Device U5 or an external bus master connected to JP12 or JP20. Modes 1 through 4 in Table 2-1 define how to configure the board for each bus master/bus mode combination. Table 2-2 defines the pinout for connector JP20. Table 2-3 defines the pinout for connector JP12. For both connectors, pins 4 and 6 should be left unconnected.

2.3.5 Output Clocks
The board supports evaluation of all device OUT output clocks using SMA connectors. Table 2-11 lists the output clock hardware connectors and functionality.
As shipped from Microchip, all OUT clock paths are DC-coupled from the device pins to the SMA connectors. When an output pair is configured for programmable differential or LVDS signal format, the pair can be DC-coupled to 100Ω differential termination at the receiver. If the path must be AC-coupled, then in the output window of the GUI, set
Diff Internal Bias Resistor to “200ohms – AC coupled”.
Note that, as shipped from Microchip, the OUT P and N paths do not have source-series termination resistors installed. See the output_driver_level::drive register field description in the device data sheet for typical CMOS output driver impedance as a function of VDDO and drive strength.
