The SY54017R and SY54017AR share a common evaluation board. The boards are designed to accept either AC-coupled or DC-coupled inputs, however, all boards are shipped with DC-Coupled outputs. The DC-coupled outputs allow the CML output to be connected directly to a scope with the standard termination of 50Ω-to-ground. This is accomplished by tying the body of the SMA connectors to the V_CCO supply on the evaluation board so that the scope termination appears as 50Ω-to- V_CCO on the board. This allows the body of the SMA connectors, which are scope GND, to appear at the same potential as V_CCO for the CML output drivers.
The default configuration for the boards is AC-Coupled inputs and DC-Coupled outputs and all boards are shipped with this configuration. The choice between two configurations, AC-Coupled or DC-Coupled, offers the user flexibility in selecting the board that is right for his particular application.
Step-by-step instructions for modifying an AC-coupled evaluation board for DC-coupled operation are supplied in the section "Modifying your AC-Coupled Board for DC-Coupled Operation."
If the output is connected to an AC-coupled 50Ω termination, the 1.2V operation may not work due to a 200mV output level shift from the output coupling capacitors.
SY54017R/AR AC-Coupled Evaluation Board (AC-Coupled Input, DC-Coupled Output)
For a 1.2V output configuration, the V_CC of the board is set to 2.5V and the V_CCO is set to 1.2V. For a 1.8V output configuration the V_CCO is set to 1.8V. For both the 1.2V and 1.8V configuration the V_EE is set to 0V.
Setting up the AC-Coupled Evaluation Board (AC-Coupled Input, DC-Coupled Output)
The following steps describe the procedure for setting up the CML-output evaluation board:
Setting up the Power Supplies:
- Set the voltage setting for a DC supply to 2.5V and turn off the supply.
- Set the voltage setting for a second DC supply to be either 1.2V or 1.8V and turn off the supply.
-
Connect the negative terminal of the two power supplies together and connect to the V_EE terminal of the evaluation board.
-
Do not earth ground either supply.
-
Turn on the power supplies and verify that the 2.5V supply current is <35mA and 1.2V/1.8V supply is <25mA.
-
Turn off the power supplies.
Setting up the AC-Coupled Input
- Using a differential signal source set the HIGH level of each side of the differential pair to be 0.4V and the LOW level to be 0V. Note that for AC-coupled inputs, only the signal swing is significant, since the inputs will be re-biased after the series capacitor. The amplitude of the input swing can be any value between 100mV and 1.0V.
- Using equal length 50Ω impedance coaxial cables, connect the signal source to the desired input (Pin 1 and Pin 16 for IN0; Pin 4 and Pin5 for IN1). The desired input needs to be selected through the SEL pin (Pin 15), which is connected to the J13 jumper. Please refer to Table 1 below for proper selection of input.
- If an external clock signal is used to drive the SEL pin for testing purposes, please add a 50Ω resistor to R5 in order to terminate the trace. In addition, remove R7.
| SEL/J13 | OUTPUT |
| 0 IN0 Input Selected | |
| 1 IN1 Input Selected | |
Table 1. Truth Table
Setting up the DC-Coupled Output
- Using equal length 50Ω impedance coaxial cables connect the SMA outputs of the evaluation board (Pin 10 and Pin 11 for Q) to the oscilloscope or other measurement device that has an internal DC-Coupled 50Ω termination. If only one output is connected to the oscilloscope, the complementary output must still be terminated with a 50Ω termination.
- Turn on the power supplies and verify that the 2.5V supply current is <35mA and 1.2V/1.8V supply is <25mA.
- Enable the signal source and monitor the outputs.

Modifying the AC-Coupled Board for DC-Coupled Operation
When DC-Coupling is Necessary
For applications where AC-coupling of the inputs is not appropriate, the board can be reconfigured for DC-coupled input operation.
Reconfiguring AC-Coupled Inputs to be DC-Coupled Inputs
The following procedure details the steps for converting an AC-coupled board to a DC-coupled board.
- Replace capacitors C9-C12 with 0Ω resistors.
- Add R1 and R2, 0Ω resistors.
Setting up the SY54017R/AR DC-Coupled Evaluation Board (DC-Coupled Input, DC-Coupled Output)
The following steps describe the procedure for setting up the CML-output evaluation board:
Setting up the Power Supplies
- Set the voltage setting for a DC supply to be 2.5V and turn off the supply.
- Set the voltage setting for a second DC supply to be either 1.2V or 1.8V and turn off the supply.
- Connect the negative terminal of the two power supplies together and connect to the V_EE terminal of the evaluation board.
- Do not earth ground either supply.
-
Turn on the power supplies and verify that the 2.5V supply current is <35mA and 1.2V/1.8V supply is <25mA.
-
Turn off the power supply.
Setting up the DC-Coupled Input
- Using a differential signal source set the HIGH level of each side of the differential pair to be 0.4V and the LOW level to be 0V. Turn off or disable the outputs of the signal source. Note that when the inputs are DC-coupled they are referenced to V_CCO because the body of the SMA connectors is tied to V_CCO . That means an input level of 0.4V from the signal source will appear as 0.4V + V_CCO to the device. For example, if the HIGH level is 0.4V and the V_CCO is 1.8V, the device will see 2.2V at its inputs. Since the maximum input HIGH is V_CC , if V_CC = 2.5V and VCCO = 1.8V, the maximum HIGH level is 0.7V. Please refer to Table 4 below.
| Source Level | V_cco | Input | Max Input for V_cc=2.5V |
| 0.7 | 1.8 | 2 | 5 _ input |
| 1.3 | 1.2 | 2 | 5 _ input |
< V
< V
Table 4. Source Levels as a Function of V_cco
- Using equal length 50Ω impedance coaxial cables, connect the signal source to the desired input, IN0, /IN0 (Pin 16, 1) or IN1, /IN1 (Pin 4, 5). The desired input needs to be selected through the SEL pin (Pin 15), which is connected to the J13 jumper. Please refer to Table 1.
- If an external clock signal is used to drive the SEL pin for testing purposes, please add a 50Ω resistor to R5 in order to terminate the trace. In addition, remove R7.
Setting up the DC-Coupled Output
- Using equal length 50Ω impedance coaxial cables, connect the SMA outputs of the evaluation board (Pin 10 and Pin 11) to the oscilloscope or other measurement device that has an internal DC-coupled 50Ω termination. If only one output is connected to the oscilloscope, the complementary output must still be terminated with a 50Ω termination.
- Turn on the power supplies and verify that the 2.5V supply current is <35mA and 1.2V/1.8V supply is <25mA.
- Enable the signal source and monitor the outputs.
