GDPHYSD_1B
Eval Board
General Description
The GigaPHY GPHYSD_1B Board, provides a low cost, easy-to-use tool to evaluate the Gigabit
Transceiver, AM79761, with regard to signal quality and performance. It is intended that the GigaPHY
board be a self-contained Evaluation Unit. In its simplest form, the switches on the GPHYSD_1B can be
used to set the transmit data and control lines while monitoring received data and status lines with LED’s.
A pre-programmed PAL in addition to the switch settings can generate simple word patterns.
More in-depth evaluations can be implemented by connecting a Pattern Generator (10-bits at
125MHz) to pods on the board in order to generate transmit data and control signals. A logic analyzer can
also be connected to pods on the board in order to monitor receive data and status signals. With this
setup 8B/10B data can be sent to the transmitter on the Evaluation Unit to generate Gigabit data and
monitored on the Logic Analyzer.
Other useful features of the board include the presence of an on-board, removable oscillator with Tri-
state (normally at 125MHz) in a DIP, half DIP or Surface Mount form. An on-board voltage regulator is
used to provide 3.3V to the board with a shutdown switch used to turn off power to all components.
