Typical Connection and Test Equipment
The following is a list of typical test equipment that may be used to generate signals for
the TX inputs:
1) Digital Video Source – for generation of specific display timing such as Digital Video
Processor or Graphics Controller with digital RGB (LVCMOS) output.
2) Astro Systems VG-835 - This video generator may be used for video signal sources
for 6-bit Digital LVCMOS/RGB.
3) Any other signal / video generator that generates the correct input levels as specified
in the datasheet.
4) Optional – Logic Analyzer or Oscilloscope
The following is a list of typically test equipment that may be used to monitor the output
signals from the RX:
1) LCD Display Panel which supports digital RGB (LVCMOS) inputs.
2) National Semiconductor DS99R105 Serializer (Tx)
3) Optional – Logic Analyzer or Oscilloscope
4) Any SCOPE with a bandwidth of at least 40MHz for LVCMOS and/or 1GHz for
looking at the differential signal.
FPD-LINKII signals may be easily measured with high impedance / high bandwidth
differential probes such as the TEK P6247 or P6248 differential probes.
