SD3GDA III User’s Guide Lit#SNLU112 September 2012
1 Introduction
The SD3GDAIII is a kit containing an evaluation board which is functionally an SDI
Distribution Amplifier with a serial interface to allow connection to a host computer and a
graphical user interface (GUI) program which allows the configuration of the devices on the
board to be changed as desired, and allows for some measurements to be made on the board.
September 2012 SD3GDAIII User’s Guide 2
2 Setup
2.1 Software Installation
A copy of the install program can be obtained either from the CD encosed with the kit or
downloaded from http://www.ti.com/tool/sd3gdaiii. This installer will run and give you this
initial window:
Once the installer has initialized, it will prompt you for locations to store the files. The SD3GDAIII GUI
is built on the National Instruments LabView platform, so in addition to the GUI files, the installer will
install some National Instruments software.
3 SD3GDA III User’s Guide Lit#SNLU112 September 2012
2.2 Connecting the Evaluation Board
The SD3GDAIII requires an external power source – it will do it’s own power regulation, so any
power supply from 12V to 20VDC may be used, connect power via the spade terminals at the top of
the board. Once power is applied, connect the board to a USB port on the host computer with the
enclosed cable, and provide the input with an SDI source signal. The source can be any of the
270Mbps, 1.5Gbps or 3Gbps data rates.
Presence of an input signal is indicated with the ‘CD’ (carrier detect) LED close to J3 – the SDI input
port.
There are four BNC output connectors. Each output has the option for on board termination in the
event that the output is not being used. The bottom connector, J9 has R32 as it’s termination resistor,
and as shipped, R32 is NOT installed – this means that J9, SDO- may be used as the primary output.
The other three outputs (SDO+, SDO1- and SDO1-) have the termination resistor installed, so that the
cable driver will see properly terminated outputs. If you want to use these outputs, remove the
corresponding termination resistors (R23, R18 and R25).
September 2012 SD3GDAIII User’s Guide 4
2.3 Jumper and Option Settings
The SD3GDAIII has 5 locations for Jumper blocks, and several other option settings that are
enabled/disabled with 0Ω resistors.
Jumper
Function when installed
P1
Disables SDO1 (Output to Media Card) on LMH0395
P2
Disables SDO0 (Output to LMH0376) on LMH0395
JP1
Forces Cable driver into HD/3G mode
JP2
If in Pin Mode (via R15) then this makes the SDO1 on the LMH0376 the recovered
clock
JP5
If LMH0376 is in pin mode, a jumper here places the reclocker in Bypass

3 Running the GUI
3.1 Overview
Once setup, start the SD3GDAIII GUI, and it should open with a block diagram of the board:
From this page, you can select what to do next via the selection panel on the left of the screen.
3.2 Direct Read/Write to registers
The first option, ‘Low Level Configurationwill allow you to examine individual register contents and write to
them. Clicking on this option will bring up this screen:
September 2012 SD3GDAIII User’s Guide 6
This screen shows each of the registers for each of the chips in the signal path on the board, and for each
register it will show what the last value read from that register was, what the last value written was, and by
clicking on one of the registers, it will give detail on each of the bits in the register. You can read individual
registers and you can write to the individual registers through this page. If you set up a particular configuration
for a part which you would like to reuse in the future, you can use the ‘Save Configuration’ and Load
Configurationbuttons to save and recover settings for a part.
3.3 Equalizer Control Page
Selecting the Equalizer page brings up a page which reports the status of the equalizer, Some of the settings,
such as the output settings can be set, but many of the other fields report status of the device.
7 SD3GDA III User’s Guide Lit#SNLU112 September 2012
3.4 Reclocker Control Page
The reclocker page allows you to control the LMH0376 there are output setting to allow the two outputs to be
independently controlled for amplitude, offset and de-emphasis. If the LMH0376 is locked, this will be shown
with the green indicator on the bottom left of the page, and the nominal rate at which the device is locked is
shown. The user will also be able to read the Horizontal eye opening, and Vertical eye opening values from
the GUI.
September 2012 SD3GDAIII User’s Guide 8
3.5 Eye Monitor Page
4 Media Card
The SD3GDAIII card has a media card inserted in the signal path between the equalizer and the reclocker.
This card may be inserted in order to insert 25cm, 50cm or 100cm of PCB trace between the equalizer and
the reclocker, to help the user to better simulate the use of the parts in a real system. Insert the media
card into the MEDIA BOARD CONNECTOR – the length of trace is shown on the media card next to the
fingers. There is also an option to use another card, connected with the SMA connectors on the Media
Card, if the card is inserted appropriately.

EVALUATION BOARD/KIT/MODULE (EVM)
WARNINGS, RESTRICTIONS AND DISCLAIMERS
For Feasibility Evaluation Only, in Laboratory/Development Environments. Unless otherwise indicated, this
EVM is not a finished electrical equipment and not intended for consumer use. It is intended solely for use for
preliminary feasibility evaluation in laboratory/development environments by technically qualified electronics experts
who are familiar with the dangers and application risks associated with handling electrical mechanical components,
systems and subsystems. It should not be used as all or part of a finished end product.
Your Sole Responsibility and Risk. You acknowledge, represent and agree that:
1. You have unique knowledge concerning Federal, State and local regulatory requirements (including but not
limited to Food and Drug Administration regulations, if applicable) which relate to your products and which
relate to your use (and/or that of your employees, affiliates, contractors or designees) of the EVM for
evaluation, testing and other purposes.
2. You have full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety and compliance of your products with all
such laws and other applicable regulatory requirements, and also to assure the safety of any activities to be
conducted by you and/or your employees, affiliates, contractors or designees, using the EVM. Further, you
are responsible to assure that any interfaces (electronic and/or mechanical) between the EVM and any
human body are designed with suitable isolation and means to safely limit accessible leakage currents to
minimize the risk of electrical shock hazard.
3. You will employ reasonable safeguards to ensure that your use of the EVM will not result in any property
damage, injury or death, even if the EVM should fail to perform as described or expected.
4. You will take care of proper disposal and recycling of the EVM’s electronic components and packing
materials.
Certain Instructions. It is important to operate this EVM within TI’s recommended specifications and
environmental considerations per the user guidelines. Exceeding the specified EVM ratings (including but not
limited to input and output voltage, current, power, and environmental ranges) may cause property damage,
personal injury or death. If there are questions concerning these ratings please contact a TI field representative
prior to connecting interface electronics including input power and intended loads. Any loads applied outside of the
specified output range may result in unintended and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible permanent damage to
the EVM and/or interface electronics. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM
output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification, please contact a TI field representative. During normal
operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than 60°C as long as the input and output
are maintained at a normal ambient operating temperature. These components include but are not limited to linear
regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors which can be identified using the
EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during
normal operation, please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch. As with all electronic
evaluation tools, only qualified personnel knowledgeable in electronic measurement and diagnostics normally found
in development environments should use these EVMs.
Agreement to Defend, Indemnify and Hold Harmless. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold TI, its licensors
and their representatives harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, costs and
liabilities (collectively, "Claims") arising out of or in connection with any use of the EVM that is not in accordance
with the terms of the agreement. This obligation shall apply whether Claims arise under law of tort or contract or
any other legal theory, and even if the EVM fails to perform as described or expected.
Safety-Critical or Life-Critical Applications. If you intend to evaluate the components for possible use in safety
critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause
29 SD3GDA III User’s Guide Lit#SNLU112 September 2012
severe personal injury or death, such as devices which are classified as FDA Class III or similar classification, then
you must specifically notify TI of such intent and enter into a separate Assurance and Indemnity Agreement.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
