The following jumpers and connectors
are provided on the board:
- J1/J2 and J3
FPD-Link III SMA Inputs (optional) – These optional inputs can be used to
evaluate the FPD-Link III serial link with different cable configurations. To
use, remove J4 and populate R3 and R4 with 0Ω resistors.
- J4
FPD-Link III HSD Automotive Input – Connect an automotive-grade STP cable
with HSD connector here. Remove the connector (J4) if the SMA outputs (J1/J2)
are used (see description above).
- J520-pin FPD-Link (I)
Output – Connect to LVDS data and clock here. The board does not provide
the required 100Ω terminations as these are normally located closer to, or
integrated into, the sink device (display). If desired, then termination
resistors can be populated at R5, R6, R7, R8, and R10. See the device data sheet
for output electrical characteristics and requirements.
- J8
4-pin I2C Input/Output – Connect SDA, SCL, VSS, and VDD33 to external I2C
peripherals or controllers here. The EVM board provides the recommended 4.7kΩ
pull-up resistors.
- J17
USB Connector for USB-to-I2C Controller – Connect USB cable to host PC to
use the ALP evaluation software with the EVM board.
- J1212V External Power
Input – Connect a +12V, 2.1mm barrel connector here to supply power to
the board. Onboard regulators supply the devices with 3.3V VDDIO and 3.3V/1.8V
VDDIO supplies.
- JP2
I2S/GPIO Input/output Header – Connect to I2S input pins or bidirectional
GPIO pins. See the device data sheet for detailed I2S and GPIO usage.
- JP10VDDIO Select –
Connect jumper to select VDDIO=VDD33 [2-3] or VDDIO=VDD18 [1-2]
- JP5
PASS Monitor – Probe PASS status here.
- JP6
LOCK Monitor – Probe LOCK status here.
- JP9
AUX Power – Alternative power connection header. See board schematics for
details.
- JP3
INTB_IN – General-purpose interrupt. See device data sheet for control register
and usage descriptions.
- JP9
I2C Power Enable – Place jumper (default) to provide 3.3V power to
on-board I2C pull-up resistors.
- SW1
PDB Reset – Press to set PDB LOW (device resets and all registers are
cleared to default values).
- S6
ALP Reset – Resets onboard USB-to-I2C (MSP430) hardware.
