Overview 

The SD303/SD307 Evaluation Kit (EVK) enables evaluation of the LMH0303 3G/HD/SD SDI Cable Driver with 
Cable Detect or the LMH0307 3G/HD/SD SDI Dual Cable Driver with Cable Detect.  A graphical user interface 
allows managing the SMBus registers of the LMH0303 or LMH0307 device. 

Evaluation Kit (SD303EVK / SD307EVK) Contents 

The EVK contains the following parts: 

 

SD303/SD307 EVK board assembly with either the LMH0303 or LMH0307 cable driver 

 USB 

cable

Evaluation Board Description 

The evaluation board comes in two versions, depending on the cable driver installed: 

1)  SD303 with the LMH0303 cable driver 
2)  SD307 with the LMH0307 dual cable driver 

 
The two cable drivers share the same evaluation board (SD303/SD307).  The SD303/SD307 evaluation board silk 
screen shows the LMH0307 pin name terminology.  Table 1 shows the pin name differences between the LMH0307 
and LMH0303.  The LMH0303 has a single output channel, SDO/SDO

¯¯¯¯ .  The LMH0307 has that same output 

channel and refers to it as SDO0/SDO0

¯¯¯¯¯ .  In addition, the LMH0307 adds a second output channel: SDO1/SDO1

¯¯¯¯¯ .
