1 Hardware Description and Setup

Figure 1-1 shows how the DS560DF810EVM implements a power management solution to enable operation off of a single 5 V/3 A supply (the 5 V connector location is shown in the following figure). The EVM board uses Megtron-6 low-loss dielectric material for its high-speed differential inputs and outputs. The EVM by default implements a pair of MXP connectors to provide robust and high-quality connectivity to its first quad of high-speed channels (for example, retimer channels 0 thru 3.) The EVM also has provision for an EEPROM to be used to program the retimer device.
