The SP50x Evaluation Board is designed to analyze the SP504 or SP505 multi-protocol

transceivers. The evaluation board provides access points to all of the driver and receiver

I/O pins so that the user can measure electrical characteristics and waveforms of each signal.

The SP50x Evaluation Board also includes a DB-25 serial port connector which is configured

to a EIA-530 pinout. This allows easy connections to other DTE or DCE systems as well as

network analyzers.

The next section describes the SP50x Evaluation Board including configuration instructions

for either the SP504 or SP505. A schematic of the board and the PCB layout are also included.

Product pinouts, product protocol tables, and DB-25 pinout assignment table are also

included for convenience.
