Evaluation Board Description
The evaluation board comes in two versions, depending on the cable driver installed:
1) SD303 with the LMH0303 cable driver
2) SD307 with the LMH0307 dual cable driver
The two cable drivers share the same evaluation board (SD303/SD307). The SD303/SD307 evaluation board silk
screen shows the LMH0307 pin name terminology. Table 1 shows the pin name differences between the LMH0307
and LMH0303. The LMH0303 has a single output channel, SDO/SDO
¯¯¯¯ . The LMH0307 has that same output
channel and refers to it as SDO0/SDO0
¯¯¯¯¯ . In addition, the LMH0307 adds a second output channel: SDO1/SDO1 ¯¯¯¯¯ .

SDI Input and SDO Output
The SDI input connectors (J1 and J2) are 50ΩSMA connectors. The SD303/SD307 is initially configured for 100Ω
differential input. To configure the SD303/SD307 for 50Ωsingle-ended input, remove R28 and place 49.9Ω0402
resistors in R9 and R10. When using only one input, the other input should be terminated with a 50ΩSMA
termination.
The SDO output connectors (J3 and J4 for the SD303; and J3, J4, J5, and J6 for the dual output SD307) are 75Ω
BNC connectors. When using only one side of an output pair, the other side should be terminated with a 75ΩBNC
termination. For example, when only using SDO0 on the LMH0307, SDO0
¯¯¯¯¯ should be terminated with a 75ΩBNC
termination.
DC Power Connectors and USB Connector
The red and black binding posts (J8 and J9) provide power for the LMH0303/LMH0307 device, and the USB
connection provides power for the remaining board functions, including the microcontroller and the LEDs. For
proper operation, the SD303/SD307 should first be powered with a DC input voltage (between J8 and J9) of
3.3V ± 5% (3.6V maximum), and then the USB cable should be connected between the evaluation board and
the PC. The POWER LED will flash Red while the board is powered from the 3.3 VDC supply alone, and then
change to solid Green once the USB cable is connected to the PC. The POWER LED will remain Green as long as
the board is powered correctly.
JP1 – LMH0303/LMH0307 Jumper Connection to Microcontroller
A jumper block should be placed on JP1 to connect the LMH0303/LMH0307 pins to the microcontroller. The ALP
software will not function correctly if this jumper block is not in place. Separate jumpers may be used, but they
must be placed to connect the following pins of JP1: RSTI
¯¯¯¯ (pins 5-6), ENABLE (pins 7-8), SDA (pins 9-10), SCL
(pins 11-12), SD/HD (pins 13-14), FAULT
¯¯¯¯¯¯ (pins 15-16), and RSTO ¯¯¯¯¯ (pins 17-18). This jumper block (or individual
jumpers) may be removed to control the LMH0303/LMH0307 pins externally, but then the microcontroller will no
longer be able to communicate with the cable driver.
Controls and Indicators
ENABLE
The ENABLE push button switch controls ENABLE, and the ENABLE LED shows its state. The ENABLE LED is
Green when the cable driver is enabled (ENABLE = 1), and Red when the cable driver is disabled (ENABLE = 0).
When the cable driver is disabled, it enters a deep power down mode, and Termination Fault detection and LOS
¯¯¯¯
detection no longer function.
If the LOSEN register bit (bit 4 of register 05h) is set, then the cable driver can be disabled with LOS
¯¯¯¯ detection still
functioning. With LOSEN set, LOS
¯¯¯¯ is combined with the ENABLE functionality. In this mode, disabling the device
by pushing the ENABLE switch will still power down the device completely (including powering down Termination
Fault detection and LOS
¯¯¯¯ detection), but if ENABLE is left active and the signal is removed from the input, the
device will power down with the LOS
¯¯¯¯ detection still functioning. When the input signal is reapplied, the device will
power back on.
SD/HD
The SD/HD push button switch controls SD/HD, and the SD/HD LED shows its state. The SD/HD LED is Green
when the cable driver is configured for HD/3G edge rates (SD/HD = 0), and Red when the cable driver is configured
for SD edge rates (SD/HD = 1). The default setting for the SD/HD LED is Green for HD/3G edge rates.

RSTI
¯¯¯¯
The RSTI
¯¯¯¯ push button switch controls RSTI ¯¯¯¯ , and the RSTI ¯¯¯¯ LED shows its state. RSTI ¯¯¯¯ is used to reset the cable
driver to its default register settings. The RSTI
¯¯¯¯ LED is Green during normal operation (RSTI ¯¯¯¯ = 1), and Red when
the cable driver is held in reset (RSTI
¯¯¯¯ = 0). To reset the device, the RSTI ¯¯¯¯ switch must be pushed twice to fully
toggle reset: once to put the device in reset mode (RSTI
¯¯¯¯ = 0), and again to resume normal operation (RSTI ¯¯¯¯ = 1)
with the default register settings.
RSTO
¯¯¯¯¯
The RSTO
¯¯¯¯¯ LED shows the state of RSTO ¯¯¯¯¯ . The RSTO ¯¯¯¯¯ LED is normally Red to indicate RSTO ¯¯¯¯¯ = 0. RSTO ¯¯¯¯¯ is the
reset output used when daisy chaining multiple cable drivers on the same SMBus. After writing a new device
address to register 00h (the ID register), the RSTO
¯¯¯¯¯ LED changes to Green to indicate RSTO ¯¯¯¯¯ = 1. RSTO ¯¯¯¯¯ remains
high until the device is reset with RSTI
¯¯¯¯ .
Termination Faults (TFxx)
The Termination Fault LEDs show the state of the Termination Faults on the cable driver outputs. The Termination
Fault LEDs are Green to indicate proper termination, Red to indicate improper or missing termination, and off to
indicate the Termination Faults are not valid under the current cable driver conditions.
The cable driver must be enabled and must have a valid input signal in order to properly detect cable termination
on the output. If no signal is detected and the LOS
¯¯¯¯ LED is Red, then the Termination Fault detectors (TF1P, TF1N,
TF0P, and TF0N for the LMH0307) cannot determine the state of the output termination and the LEDs will be off.
When a valid input signal is applied, the Termination Fault detectors will show the correct state of their termination.
If the cable driver is disabled or if the output channel is powered down, the Termination Fault LEDs will be off.
LOS
¯¯¯¯
The LOS
¯¯¯¯ LED shows the status of the input signal detector. The LOS ¯¯¯¯ LED is Green to indicate a valid input
signal (LOS
¯¯¯¯ = 1), and Red when no signal is detected (LOS ¯¯¯¯ = 0). When the cable driver is disabled (ENABLE = 0),
the LOS
¯¯¯¯ detection is disabled as well and the LOS ¯¯¯¯ LED will be Red to indicate no signal can be detected. If the
LOS
¯¯¯¯ LED is Red, then the Termination Fault detection does not function and the TFxx LEDs are forced off.
With the LOSEN register bit (bit 4 of register 05h) set, the LOS
¯¯¯¯ detection may still function while the cable driver is
disabled. In this mode, LOS
¯¯¯¯ is combined with the ENABLE functionality, and if the input signal is removed then the
cable driver will power down but keep the LOS
¯¯¯¯ detection running. The device will power back on once an input
signal is detected. (While in this mode, disabling the device by pushing the ENABLE switch will still power down
the device completely, including powering down Termination Fault and LOS
¯¯¯¯ detection).
LEDs and Push Button Switches Summary
Table 2 shows a summary of the LEDs provided to assist the user in determining the configuration of the board,

Software Description
Startup
Make sure all the software has been installed and the hardware is powered on and connected to the PC. Execute
“Analog LaunchPAD” from the start menu. The default start menu location is “Programs\National Semiconductor
Corp\Analog LaunchPAD vx.x.x\Analog LaunchPAD”.
The application should come up in the state shown below (for the LMH0307). If it does not, see “Trouble Shooting”
at the end of this document.
Figure 2. ALP Startup Screen for LMH0307
LMH0303/LMH0307 Profiles
There are separate profiles for the LMH0303 and the LMH0307. The ALP software automatically detects which
device is connected and configures the profile accordingly. There are four application tabs for the
LMH0303/LMH0307 device.

Firmware Version – FW Ver
FW Ver shows the version of the firmware installed on the evaluation board.
Termination Fault
These controls show the default configuration of the HD and SD Termination Fault Threshold registers and also
provide the ability to change the thresholds. The LMH0307 has two pairs of Termination Fault Threshold registers
– one HD/SD pair for each of its two output channels – as shown in Figure 4. The LMH0303 has only one HD/SD
pair of Termination Fault Threshold registers for its single output channel, as can be seen in Figure 5.
Increasing the Termination Fault Threshold settings decreases the cable driver’s sensitivity to Termination Faults.
This is useful if the cable driver is indicating termination faults when the output appears to be properly terminated.
Decreasing the Termination Fault Threshold settings increases the cable driver’s sensitivity to Termination Faults
which is useful for determining cable detection at the end of long cables.
Compare Command and Termination Fault Counters
Compare Command configures the CMPCMD section of the TEST register (08h) on the LMH0303 or LMH0307.
The Termination Fault Counters reflect the current configuration of the TEST register CMPCMD bits.
The Termination Fault Counters provide an indication of how the cable driver is reading the Termination Faults
based on the current Termination Fault Threshold settings. Perfectly terminated outputs should read back “0”, and
unterminated outputs should read back “31”.
Control
Refresh
The Refresh button provides a manual refresh of the state from the evaluation board to the LMH0303/LMH0307 tab.
Changes to the board will not be reflected in the LED icons and Line Control checkboxes on the
LMH0303/LMH0307 tab until the Refresh button is pressed. This can be done automatically by using the Auto
Refresh checkbox.
Auto Refresh Checkbox
The Auto Refresh checkbox provides an automatic refresh of the state from the evaluation board to the
LMH0303/LMH0307 tab once per second. This provides automatic updating of the LED icons and Line Control
checkboxes on the LMH0303/LMH0307 tab to reflect any board changes.
Line Control
Power Down 0 and 1 (LMH0307 only)
Power Down 0 and 1 checkboxes control the PD0 and PD1 power down bits (bits 5 and 6 in register 02h - MASK)
and will selectively power down one or both of the output channels on the LMH0307.
Enable
The Enable checkbox controls the associated ENABLE pin on the LMH0303/LMH0307. Disabling or un-checking
the Enable checkbox will force the LMH0303/LMH0307 into a deep power down mode.
RSTI
The RSTI checkbox controls the RSTI
¯¯¯¯ pin. This checkbox is checked for normal operation, and un-checked to put
the cable driver in reset.
SD303/SD307 EVK User Guide 10 of 27
Rev 1.2 © 2010, National Semiconductor Corp.

SD/HD
The SD/HD checkbox controls the state of the SD/HD pin. This checkbox is un-checked by default to enable
HD/3G mode. Enabling this checkbox sets the cable driver edge rates to SD mode.
SDO Amp
The SDO Amp controls set the amplitude of the output driver(s). The LMH0307 has two independently configurable
outputs (SDO0 and SD01) and the LMH0303 has a single configurable output (SDO). For the LMH0307,
SDO Amp 0 configures the AMP0 bits in the OUTPUT0 register (04h), and SDO Amp 1 configures the AMP1 bits in
the OUTPUT1 register (06h). For the LMH0303, SDO Amp configures the AMP bits in the OUTPUT register (04h).
The default amplitude setting is 0x10 for 800 mVP-P. The output amplitude may be lowered to around 720 mVP-P
and increased to around 880 mVP-P in roughly 5 mV increments.
LED Icons
The diagram of the LMH0303/LMH0307 device is framed by a number of colored LED icons that represent the LED
state on the board. Note that either the Refresh button or the Auto Refresh checkbox must be used to update the
LED icons in the LMH0303/LMH0307 tab to reflect any board changes.
FAULT LED
The FAULT LED shows the current state of the FAULT
¯¯¯¯¯¯ pin. The FAULT LED is Green to indicate no faults are
detected (FAULT
¯¯¯¯¯¯ = 1) and Red to indicate one or more faults have been detected (FAULT ¯¯¯¯¯¯ = 0). The Auto Refresh
checkbox should be checked in order to actively monitor the state of the FAULT
¯¯¯¯¯¯ pin.
FAULT
¯¯¯¯¯¯ is triggered and set low for a Termination Fault on any output or the loss of signal on the input. FAULT ¯¯¯¯¯¯ is
cleared and set high again when the faults have been removed by either terminating the outputs, applying the input
signal, or changing the register settings in the MASK or DIRECTION registers.
Registers Tab
The Registers tab displays all registers for the LMH0303 or LMH0307. Figure 6 shows the Registers tab for the
LMH0307. The Value field indicates the value of the currently selected register.
SD303/SD307 EVK User Guide 11 of 27

Figure 6. LMH0307 Registers Tab
Each register can be examined in detail by either double clicking on the desired registers fold bar (with the address
and the register name, e.g. 0x00 – ID) or by single clicking the icon at the right of the fold bar (two inverted carats).
The Refresh button will re-read the currently selected register and the Refresh All will read all registers in the
device. Changes may be made to the registers by checking or un-checking the individual register bits or typing in a
new register value in the Value field. After setting the appropriate register value, the Apply button must be pressed
to apply the changes. The detailed view of the STATUS register is shown in Figure 7 with Verbose Descriptions
checked and Figure 8 with Verbose Descriptions un-checked.
