Introduction
The SN75LVDS83B FlatLink transmitter is a single integrated circuit which contains four 7-bit, parallel-
load, serial-out, shift registers, a 7x clock synthesizer, and LVDS line drivers. This user’s guide describes
the construction and handling of the EVM for the SN75LVDS83B. The guide serves as an evaluation tool
for the SN75LVDS83B, as well as a reference design for the device.

Description of EVM Board
The LVDS83BTSSOPEVM is designed to provide straightforward evaluation of the SN75LVDS83B device
using four 7-bit, parallel-load, serial-out, shift registers. Power to the board is provided through banana
jacks P4 for VCC and P1 for VCCIO. For correct board operation, power must be fixed at VCC = 3.3 V,
and the I/O power (VCCIO) may be adjusted at 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V.
The transmission of data bits D0 through D27 occurs as each bit is loaded into registers upon the edge of
the CLKIN signal (JMP5), where the rising or falling edge of the clock may be selected using CLKSEL
(JMP7). To select a clock rising edge, input a high level to CLKSEL. Removing the strap on the jumper
allows the pull-up resistor to pull CLKSEL=high (see
). To input a low level to select a clock falling
edge, place the strap on the jumper to allow a path to GND (see
).
Additionally, use of SHTDN (JMP8) for possible Shutdown/Clear settings can be obtained with an active-
low input, by placing the strap on the jumper to allow a path to GND, which inhibits the clock and shuts off
the LVDS output drivers for lower power consumption (see
). A low-level on this signal clears all
internal registers to a low-level. Remove the strap on JMP8 to enable the device for normal operation.
