1 Hardware Description and Setup

The DS560DF410EVM implements a power management solution to enable operation from a single 5 V/3 A supply. Figure 1-1 shows the 5 V connector location. 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 high-speed channels. The EVM also has provision for an EEPROM to be used to program the retimer device.
