General Description
The MAX7474 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assem-bled and tested printed-circuit board (PCB) that config-ures the MAX7474 IC for automatically equalizing a baseband composite video input signal from low-cost,unshielded twisted pair (UTP) such as Category 5e (Cat 5e) cable.
The MAX7474 EV kit operates from a single 5V DC power supply. The EV kit accepts differential video input signals and provides a single-ended output. The EV kit features loss-of-sync and loss-of-burst outputs and also provides an option to set the video output sig-nal’s back-porch DC level.

Quick Start
Required Equipment
Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:?5V, > 100mA DC power supply
?Video signal generator (e.g., Tektronix TG -700 or equivalent)
?Video measurement equipment (e.g., Tektronix VM-700T or equivalent)?Active differential cable driver
Procedure
The MAX7474 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.Follow the steps below to verify board operation.Caution: Do not turn on the power supply until all connections are completed.
1)Install a shunt across pins 2-3 of jumper JU1 and a
shunt across pins 1-2 of jumper JU2 (for ≥225m manual cable length equalization).2)Install a shunt across pins 1-2 of jumper JU3
(back-porch DC level set by R4).3)Verify that no shunt is installed on jumper JU4 (AC-coupled video output).
4)Connect the differential video input signal to the
VIN connector or the V_INP and VINN test points.5)Connect the VOUT BNC connector on the EV kit to
the input of the video measurement equipment.6)Connect the power-supply ground to the GND pad
on the EV kit.
7)Connect the 5V DC power supply to the VCC pad
on the EV kit.8)Set the video signal generator for the desired video
input signal.
9)Turn on the power supply and enable the video
signal generator output.
10)Analyze the video output signal with the video
measurement equipment.
Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX7474 EV kit is designed to evaluate the MAX7474 in a 16-pin SSOP package. The MAX7474 is an adaptive equalizer for video over UTP cable. The EV kit circuit is designed on a 2-layer, 1oz copper PCB and all components are installed on the top layer. The MAX7474 EV kit operates from a 5V DC power supply that can deliver at least 100mA of current.
The MAX7474 EV kit accepts differential video input signals and provides a single-ended output nominal 1V P-P . A differential video input signal can be connect-ed to the VIN RJ-45 connector (pins 7-8), or the V_INP and V_INN test points on the MAX7474 EV kit. See Table 4 in the Jumper Selection section for the VIN RJ-45 connector pin configuration.
The MAX7474 EV kit automatically equalizes the base-band composite video signal from a low-cost UTP cable,and provides an option to set the fixed equalization level to compensate for different input cable lengths up to 300m in the absence of a burst signal. The MAX7474fixed equalization level is jumper selectable. See the Jumper Selection section for more details.
The MAX7474 EV kit provides an option to set the back-porch DC level for the video output signal. The video output’s back-porch DC level can be set by an on-board voltage reference (U2) or by an external volt-age source connected to the BP_LVL BNC connector.U2 is a MAX6037 voltage reference that provides an on-board 0 to 2.5V voltage reference for the back-porch DC level. Potentiometer R4 is used to set the back-porch DC level. The back-porch DC level is set to 1.4V at the factory. See the Jumper Selection section for more detail.
Jumper Selection
Fixed Equalization Level (FEQ0, FEQ1)
The MAX7474 EV kit provides an option to set the fixed equalization level for the video input signal to compen-sate for different cable lengths in the absence of burst.Jumpers JU1 and JU2 set the fixed equalization level pins (FEQ0 and FEQ1) of the MAX7474 IC. When using cable lengths greater than 75m, set the fixed equaliza-tion level according to Table 1.

Back-Porch DC Level (BPLVL)
The MAX7474 EV kit provides an option to set the back-porch DC level for the video output signal.Jumper JU3 selects the voltage source that sets the back-porch DC level for the MAX7474 BPLVL pin. See Table 2 for shunt positions.
Output Coupling (VOUT)
The MAX7474 EV kit provides an option to select the output coupling of the video output signal on the MAX7474 EV kit for AC- or DC-coupling. Jumper JU4selects the output coupling for the MAX7474 output.See Table 3 for shunt positions.
RJ-45 Connector Pin Configuration (VIN)
The MAX7474 EV kit provides an RJ-45 connector to accept a differential video input signal at the VIN RJ-45 connector. Table 4 lists the RJ-45 connector pin configuration.
The MAX7474 EV kit provides a 3-pin header to access the LOB and LOS status output signals and GND. The LOB outputs a logic-high when the color burst portion of the video signal is not detected at the input.Similarly, the LOS outputs a logic-high when the sync signal of the video signal is not detected at the input.Table 5 lists the header J1 pinout.
