The following user’s guide supports the Evaluation Board system for the FIN micro
Serializer and Deserializer devices (µSerDes™). It should be used in conjunction with the
FIN24AC datasheet, as well as Fairchild’s application notes and µSerDes Technical support
team. Interface [email protected].
1. Overview
The µSerDes micro evaluation system is comprised of two separate boards. The FIN24AC µSerDes
evaluation board are each labeled FM050503B. Either board may be configured as a Serializer or
Deserializer. The boards sections are identical except for the pin out of the serial connector, as well as
the orientation of the printing. The two sections are connected through the included flex cable that
carries the serial data, clock and power supplies. In addition to basic connectivity, the cable may be
utilized for relative near field EMI testing. Each board is capable of being configured in multiple ways.
The µSerDes demo can be conducted through use of lab equipment such as signal generators and logic
analyzers. The demo boards provide via holes for connection to test systems. A description of the
connections is included in this demo board guide.
