THCV231 / THCV236 Evaluation Kit
SerDes Single Link Evaluation Board
Parts Number: THEVA231, THEVA236
1. General Description
THEVA231 and THEVA236 boards are designed to
evaluate THCV231 and THCV236 for transmission
of Video data between the host and display.
One high-speed lane can carry up to 14bit data at a
pixel clock frequency from 12MHz to 160MHz.
The chipset, which has one high-speed data lane,
can transmit video data up to 1080p/60Hz.
The maximum serial data rate is 4.00Gbps/lane.
2. Features
xData width selectable
xWide frequency range
xAC coupling for high-speed lanes
xCDR requires no external frequency reference
xWide Range Supply Voltage from 1.7V to 3.6V
xAdditional SSCG on data stream
x2-wire serial I/F bridge function(400kbps)
xRemote side GPIO control and monitoring

4. Power Supply Set Up
This chapter shows power supply condition.
Caution: Check if there is no power-GND short on below red trace before supplying any power.
VCC Power Supply to Each Board
Each evaluation board requires VCC power supply. Use “CON7” and “CON4” connector typically.

7. Clock Input from SMA Connector
THEVA231 can also choose the clock input from SMA connector by using 0Ω resistors. If you want to use SMA
connector for clock input, mount the 0Ω resistors on R148 and unmount on R146. This input function is to use
Field BET operation in mainly.
