INTRODUCTION
The DS2148DK is an evaluation board for the DS2148TN which can be operated via hardware or software
control. The DS2148DK is designed to be used as a daughter card to the DST1E1DK, but can be
configured for stand-alone operation in hardware mode. The board is complete with the DS2148TN,
transformers, termination resistors, configuration switches, a RJ48 connector, and a 50-pin header to
connect to the DST1E1DK. The DS2148 can be used with a 3.3V or a 5V power supply. This design kit
comes standard with a 1:2 transformer on the transmit-side to allow 3.3V operation. In order to use a 5V
power supply, the transmit-side transformer should be replaced with a 1:1.36 transformer. The receive-side
uses a 1:1 transformer for both 3.3V and 5V operation. See the DS2148 data sheet for more details.
QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS
Connecting to the DST1E1DK:
If you do not wish to connect to the DST1E1DK, proceed directly to the Hardware Mode section. To install
the DS2148DK on the DST1E1DK, insert the DS2148 evaluation board into the 50 pin expansion header
labeled “J7” on the DST1E1DK so that the DS2148 is directly above the T1/E1 socket. If your DST1E1DK
is configured for 5 volt operation, set switch S1 on the DS2148DK away from the “3V” position and switch
SW2-1 to the “off” position. If your DST1E1DK is configured for 3.3 volt operation, set switch S1 to the
“3V” position, and switch SW2-1 to the “on” position. Connect power to the DST1E1DK, and connect the
serial cable as described in the DST1E1DK documentation.
Software Mode:
After connecting to the DST1E1DK, proceed to configure all switches on the DS2148DK noted in table 1,
as listed in the “Software Mode” column. Start the DST1E1 software using the DS2148 definition file
provided with the DS2148DK. For example:
Configure register CCR1 with an 80h, and CCR3 with a 90h. The device will begin transmitting a pseudo-
random bit sequence. . Upon external loopback, the RCL and PBEO LED’s will extinguish, denoting that
the device has found a carrier, and has successfully decoded the pseudo-random bit sequence. For more
advanced configurations, please refer to the DS2148 datasheet.
Hardware Mode:
Connect the J1 pins 1,3,5, and 7 to ground. Choose either 3.3 or 5.0 volt operating voltage.
Proceed to configure all switches on the DS2148DK noted in table 1, as listed in the “Hardware Mode”
column. On power-up, the device will begin transmitting a pseudo-random bit sequence in T1 mode. Upon
external loopback, the RCL and PBEO LED’s will extinguish, denoting that the device has found a carrier,
and has successfully decoded the pseudo-random bit sequence. For more advanced configurations, please
refer to the DS2148 datasheet.
“DST1E1.EXE COM1 DS2148.DEF”
3.3 volt supply:
5.0 volt supply:
1) Connect supply to J1 pins 41 and 43.
2) Set switch S1 to the “3V” position.
3) Set SW2-1 to the “on” position.
1) Connect to J1 pins 47 and 49.
2) Set switch S1 away from the “3V” position.
3) Set switch SW2-1 to the “off” position.
