1.5 Recommended Equipment
- 3.3 Vdc at 0.5-A power supply or multiple power supplies (with both
devices powered and enabled the board draws about 35 mA).
- A 100-Ω transmission medium from the driver to the receiver, (twisted-pair
cable recommended, CAT5 cable for example).
- A function or pattern generator capable of supplying 3.3-V signals at the
desired signaling rate.
- A multiple-channel high-bandwidth oscilloscope, preferably above the
1-GHz range
- Differential or single ended oscilloscope probes.
