General Description
The GS2985-S evaluation package is designed to accelerate the evaluation process of the
GS2985 Multi-rate SDI Reclocker with Equalization and De-emphasis.
It is strongly recommended to read the GS2985 Data Sheet (Doc ID: 36663_DocX.pdf)
before using this evaluation kit.

Overview
Together with the EB-GS2985-S (single-channel) Evaluation Board, this document
serves as a guide for evaluating the GS2985, a Gennum 3Gb/s, HD, SD SDI serial digital
reclocker. This document contains four main sections:
1. Evaluation Board User Guide.
2. Evaluation Board Schematics.
3. Evaluation Board Layout.
4. Evaluation Board Bill of Materials
The figure below shows a block diagram of the features and the functions of the
EB-GS2985-S.
The purpose of the EB-GS2985-S single-channel evaluation board is to evaluate the
GS2985 3G Video Reclocker (RCLK). It also features the GS2984 3G Equalizer (EQ) and
the GS2988 3G Cable Driver (CD). The GS2985 is designed to automatically recover the
embedded clock from a SMPTE-424M, SMPTE 292M, or SMPTE 259-C compliant digital
video signal, and re-time the incoming video data.
The GS2984 and the GS2988 are high-speed BiCMOS integrated circuits. The GS2984 is
designed to equalize and restore signals received over 75Ω coaxial cable, and the
GS2988 is designed to drive one to two 75Ω coaxial cables.
The EB-GS2985-S also provides access to the GS2985’s internal registers via SPI. A
Gennum SPI dongle is included in the kit, to communicate with the GS2985 through a
USB connection.
