SAT0050 FPD‐Link III to I2C Analyzer Board test procedure SAT0050 FPD-Link III to I2C Analyzer Board test procedure
1. Visual inspection
a. Verify that R47 is not installed.
b. Verify that all other components are installed.
c. Check for solder bridges, flux or other contaminants, or any evidence of cracked or damaged
components.
d. Note that connectors J4 and J5 must be modified to remove the alignment tab on the bottom side,
in order to be installed in the E1 circuit board. This is due to an error in the board outline.
e. Check that one switch on S1 is in the ON position, and all other switches on S1 are in the OFF
position. Do the same for S2.
f. Check that one jumper is installed to set the U1 Address (one jumper on J2) and one jumper is
installed to set the U2 Address (one jumper on J3). The address selected for U1 and U2 should be
different, so the jumpers should be on different positions on the respective headers.

2. Power supplies
a. Apply +12Vdc through the barrel connector J6.
NOTE: Before making the connection to J6, make sure the polarity on the power cable is such
that the center contact is +12V with respect to the outside contact.
c.kinnaird 1 SAT0050 FPD‐Link III to I2C Analyzer Board test procedure b. Verify that the orange POWER indicator LED (D5) is illuminated.
i. This indicator is controlled by the PG (power good) output from the TPS62152 buck
converter (U4). A high level on PG will illuminate D5, and indicates that the output
voltage (3.3Vdc) is at the proper level, and that no faults are detected such as overtemperature or under-voltage.
ii. Note that the green PASS indicator LED (D3) will also be illuminated.
c. Measure the 3.3Vdc level at test point TP3 (orange test point) with respect to ground (TP0, black
test point). The level should be 3.3V, with not more than 50 mV of ripple. (see figures below)

d. Apply 5Vdc through a USB cable to J7 (USB B-type connector)
e. Verify that the orange POWER indicator LED (D5) is illuminated.
i. This indicator is controlled by the PG (power good) output from the TPS62152 buck
converter (U4). A high level on PG will illuminate D5, and indicates that the output
voltage (3.3Vdc) is at the proper level, and that no faults are detected such as overtemperature or under-voltage.
ii. Note that the green PASS indicator LED (D3) will also be illuminated.
f. Measure the 3.3Vdc level at test point TP3 (orange test point) with respect to ground (TP0, black
test point). The level should be 3.3V, with not more than 50 mV of ripple.

g. If a +12Vdc supply is not available, the board will also operate with other supply levels applied to
the barrel connector. The supply current will vary slightly with the supply voltage, as shown by
the typical values in the table below.

PASS
Green On
Pass/Fault indicator from FPD-Link deserializer
D4
LOCK
Yellow Off
Indicates deserializer lock to incoming FPD-Link signal
D5
POWER Orange On
Indicates 3.3Vdc board power is correct
D6
USER

Off
User-defined indicator, controlled by MSP430
b. Press the “Master RESET” momentary switch (S3). Verify that the green PASS indicator LED
turns off when the button is pushed, and then illuminates when the button is released.
i. NOTE: Some boards may not have sufficient internal pull-down strength on the PASS
output to drive the PASS state low.
c. Press the “Reset Lock” momentary switch (S4). Verify that the yellow LOCK indicator LED
turns off when the button is pushed, and then illuminates when the button is released.

Figure 4 DS90Ux925 EVB (left) and SAT0050 board (right)
a. Connect the SAT0050 board to a DS90Ux925 EVB, using an appropriate cable to bring the FPDLink III signals to the J4 connector on the SAT0050 board.
b. Set-up the DS90Ux925 EVB in accordance with the DS90UB925QSEVB User’s Guide1.
c. Apply 3.3Vpower to the DS90Ux925 EVB.
d. Connect the DS90Ux925 EVB to a computer running Analog LaunchPAD (ALP).
e. Open the ALP application and select the DS90Ux925 in the Devices section. Go to the
Information tab; you should now see the information for both the DS90Ux925 EVB as the
“device” and the SAT0050 board as the “partner”. See figure.
f. When correctly connected to the DS90Ux925 EVB, the LINK indicator LED should be
illuminated. If not, press and release the “Reset Lock” button. If the LINK indicator is still not
illuminated, check the connection to the DS90Ux925 EVB.
g. Verify that the status of the SAT0050 board is being correctly communicated to the DS90Ux925
EVB.
i. Check that the information displayed in the “partner” section of the Information tab
matches the settings for S1 (deserializer mode) and J2 (deserializer address) on the
SAT0050 board.
ii. Change the setting of the deserializer mode (S1) and deserializer address (J2) on the
SAT0050 board, and then press and release the “Master RESET” button.
iii. Verify that the new settings are shown on the Information tab for the “partner”.

Figure 6 DS90Ux925 EVB (left), SAT0050 board (center), and DS90Ux926 EVB (right)
a. In addition to the previous connections to the DS90Ux925 EVB, connect the SAT0050 board to a
DS90Ux926 EVB, using an appropriate cable to bring the FPD-Link III signals to the J5
connector on the SAT0050 board.
b. Set-up the DS90Ux926 EVB in accordance with the DS90UB926QSEVB User’s Guide2.
c. Apply 3.3Vpower to the DS90Ux926 EVB (this can be the same power supply as used for the
DS90Ux925 EVB).
d. Connect the DS90Ux925 EVB to a computer running Analog LaunchPAD (ALP).
e. When correctly connected, the green LINK indicator LED on the DS90Ux926 EVB should be
illuminated. If the LINK indicator is not illuminated, check the connections to the SAT0050, and
from the SAT0050 board to the DS90Ux925 EVB.
f. Open the ALP application and select the DS90Ux925 in the Devices section.
g. Verify that the ALP application correctly receives information from the DS90Ux926 EVB
through the chain of boards. Do this by opening the “System Topology” tab in the ALP
application. The DS90Ux926 EVB should be identified as an active node in the layer of nodes to
the right of the SAT0050 board.

h. Change the mode settings for the SAT0050 deserializer (S1) and serializer (S2) from repeater
mode (S1 and S2 position 3 or 4) to non-repeater mode (S1 and S2 position 1 or 2). Press and
release the Master RESET button on the SAT0050 so that these changes take effect. Verify that
the “System Topology” diagram updates such that the serializer (DS90Ux925) on the SAT0050
board and the DS90Ux926 EVB are no longer visible as active nodes.

a. Set up a display monitor, using either the FPD-Link III serial signal from the SAT0050 board (if
you have an FPD-Link III compatible monitor) or using the parallel RGB-24 signals from the
DS90Ux926EVB (if you have an RGB-24 compatible monitor) or using the HDMI signals from
the FPD23DAEVM3 (if you have an HDMI compatible monitor).
b. In the ALP application, go to the Pattern Generator tab. Select the Enable Generator, Enable
Scrolling, and 18-bit Color check boxes. Set the video timing and format to match the
capabilities of your monitor.
