551013037 - LMP8100
Evaluation Board User
Guide
This evaluation board contains the LMP8100, along with a
logic circuit to program the register in the LMP8100.
Connectors, Jumpers, Test Points
POWER SUPPLY
There are three banana plugs labeled GND, V
power the eval board. A single supply of +5V or a dual supply
of ±2.5V can be used.
SIGNAL CONNECTORS
There are three connectors for signals.
JUMPERS
The eval board has six jumpers.
TEST POINTS
The test points are connected as follows.
TP1 – +IN pin
TP2 – GRT pin
TP3 – SDO pin
TP4 – V
TP5 – SCK pin
TP6 – SDI pin
TP7 – CS pin

COMPONENTS
Various loads can be installed on the eval board. The series
resistance at R8 can be changed or replaced by a jumper.
The resistive load at R4 can be changed. An AC coupled load
can be added by using C24 and R9. A capacitive load can be
added at C4. The eval board with a jumper at R8 has between
6 and 7 pF of parasitic capacitance.
To use the on-board logic circuit to program the
LMP8100 Register connect the jumpers as follows:
JP1 – Pins 2 and 3
JP2 – Pins 2 and 3
JP3 – Pins 2 and 3
To use an external microcontroller to program the
LMP8100 Register connect the jumpers as follows:
JP1 – Pins 1 and 2
JP2 – Pins 1 and 2
JP3 – Pins 1 and 2
Connect the external microcontroller to J3.

To connect the GRT pin to a Low-Impedance Source
Connect the jumpers as follows:
JP5 – DC and the center pin
JP6 – V
