Introduction
The ML4022-MCB is designed to provide an efficient and easy method of programming and
testing 100G SFP-DD transceivers and active optical cables. It includes a complete user-friendly
GUI supporting all features defined by SFP-DD MSA and simplifying configuration processes to
enable intuitive memory map programming and testing. It is designed to simulate an ideal
environment for SFP-DD transceivers module testing, characterization and manufacturing
.

ML4022-MCB Hardware
The subsequent sections cover the essential parts in the hardware, for board operation and
testing.
3.1 Power-Up
To power up the ML4022-MCB host, steps are as follow:
The host TOP is where the cage is mounted
Two options are available to power up the board:
Using the four pins power connector (J43) that should be connected to 5V AND 3.3V
taking into account pins distribution, where the SMD jumper (U168) must be
populated
Using the banana plug (U6) that should be connected to 3.3V where the SMD jumper
(U167) must be populated
Connect the host to your PC using a Type-B mini to Type-A USB cable.
