Universal Demo Board for 10BASE-T and AUI Applications — LDB901
1.0
General Description
The LDB901 Demo Board is a complete working platform that allows system designers to test
device performance and functionality prior to board prototyping. The LDB901 can be used to
evaluate the LXT901, LXT907, LXT901A, LXT907A or LXT908 Universal Ethernet Transceivers
with a few minor modifications to the board.
The LDB901 is designed to interface most standard controllers to either 10BASE-T cable or
10BASE-2/10BASE-5 Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) drop cable. The Demo Board supports
standard 10Mbps operation or full duplex 20Mbps operation. The LDB901 is configured with a
complete set of LED status indicators for major functions. A single 5V supply is required for
operation with provision for conversion to 3.3V.
This document describes typical Demo Board setup and operating procedures. Before using the
Demo Board, review the applicable Universal Ethernet Transceiver data sheet for device
functionality and specifications.

Equipment Requirements
The LDB901 Demo Board includes all the components needed for a successful evaluation.
However, the following additional equipment is recommended:
•
•
•
•
•
2.2
NetCom System ET-1000 transceiver test box
MAU
NIC
Category 3 or 5 Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable
Ribbon cable
Test Setup
Figure 1 shows a typical test setup for the basic operation of the LDB901. The LDB901 is
connected to a Network Interface Card (NIC) on the back-end of the board via ribbon cable. The
TP cable is connected to a MAU via an RJ45 connector. The MAU plugs into an ET-1000 NetCom
Transceiver Test Box via a 15-pin AUI connector.

2.3
Power Supply
The LDB901 Demo Board requires a single 5V power supply.
2.3.1
Power Supply Option
The LDB901 is designed with a voltage regulator (JP19) that can be jumpered to supply either 5V
or 3.3V to the LXT901, LXT907, LXT901A, LXT907A or LXT908 devices. If pins 1 and 2 are
jumpered, 5V operation is selected. If pins 2 and 3 are jumpered, the power supply is converted to
3.3V. Table 1 shows configuration of the jumper circuitry for the transceiver power supply options.
2.3.1.1
Signal Attenuation Circuitry
Signal attenuation circuitry (JP20, JP21 and JP22) is provided for 3.3V operation. During 3.3V
operation these jumpers should be left open to enable signal attenuation. During 5V operation the
jumpers should be installed to bypass signal attenuation.

Configuration Options
The LDB901 Demo Board can be configured for evaluation of either the LXT901, LXT907,
LXT901A, LXT907A or LXT908 Universal Transceivers with a few minor modifications.
2.4.1
Magnetics
The LDB901 is supplied from the factory with magnetics recommended for the applicable
transceiver ordered. Jumpers JP12 and JP13 select the magnetics termination circuitry. These two
jumpers and the magnetics themselves are the only modifications required to set up the various
Ethernet Transceivers. Configuration for the various evaluation setups are described below.

2.4.1.1
LXT901/901A and LXT907/907A Evaluation
Leave both jumpers open when evaluating the LXT901, LXT907, LXT901A, or LXT907A. This
configuration requires magnetics with a 1:√2 ratio for the transmit transformer and a 1:1 ratio for
the receive transformer. Table 2 lists some suitable magnetics.

Jumpers
There are 17 jumpers on the LDB901 Demo Board. There are nine 3-pin jumpers that can be set
High by placing a jumper across pins 1 and 2 or can be set Low by placing a jumper across pins 2
and 3. There are seven 2-pin jumpers that are either installed or left open and one 3X2 Header
(JP11). Table 5 describes these jumpers and their functions.
