OVERVIEW The KDPOF KD-EVK1001-MC Media Converter Evaluation Kit is a tool to design and evaluate high-speed prototypes using the KDPOF KD1001 Gigabit Ethernet POF Transceiver IC (8.5 mm x 8.5 mm, 88-pin, QFN plastic package). The evaluation kit contains two media converter boards, KD-EVB1001-MC, which interface to the included KDPOF graphical user interface (GUI) tool on a PC/MAC/Linux platform for easy monitoring and control.

The KD-EVK1001-MC Media Converter Evaluation Kit provides evaluation capabilities in a self-contained, flexible platform, enabling product designers to successfully evaluate the performance of KD1001-based end products.

KEY FEATURES • 1 Gbps operation as per VDE v 0885-763 (1000BASE-P

and xGBASE-P) pre-norm

• Transparent link for a 1000BASE-T or 100BASE-T, IEEE 802.3x full-duplex connection using standard SI-POF for data transmission

• Optional Adaptive Bit Rate operation ensures reliable transmission with optimal channel capacity usage at maximum data rates

• Full duplex, 1 Gbps per direction, over 50 m of standard SI-POF

• Guaranteed 10-12 BER according to RFC 244

• Gigabit Ethernet interface through standard RJ-45 connector

• Optional pause frame support for flow control

• Easy monitoring and control of KD1001 through MDIO ports thanks to included multi-platform (Linux, Mac, Windows) GUI tool and USB adapter

• Optimized Fiberdock FOT, from leading optoelectronic supplier Avago Technologies, works with standard 2.2 mm duplex POF for full-speed operation, and requires no connectorization

MAJOR BENEFITS • Easy to use with common lab equipment, without

need for additional items

• GUI tool eliminates need for additional BER equipment

• Enables real-time monitoring of the link, reporting key performance parameters like: distortion, frequency and time channel response, MLCC constellations, Phy and net rates, SNR of the signal, and received average power

• Powered by an included single wall-mount power supply

• Self-contained kit for most uses and applications provides maximum flexibility in systems applications

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The KDPOF KD-EVK1001-MC Media Converter Evaluation Kit is a flexible tool that enables testing of KDPOF gigabit POF technology through its KD1001 Gigabit Ethernet POF transceiver chip. The user can plug a Media Converter board into a standard 100/1000 BASE-T link, and extend the link using standard SI-POF while maintaining link performance. In addition, the user-friendly GUI included in the kit can be used for real time monitoring of several low-level link parameters so that the performance of the KD1001 transceiver can be observed and measured.

Control and status of the KD1001 is accessed through the GUI, which is run on a computer connected via USB. Using either the GUI or easily accessible on-board switches, the user can configure several chip options, such as the Adaptive Bit Rate feature or flow control behavior.

The GUI, shown in Figure 2, includes several panels which provide complete access to the KD1001 transceiver, link status and parameters. The GUI also includes a BER panel to capture bit error rate at the receiver.

KIT CONTENTS The evaluation kit includes:

• Two KD-EVB1001-MC media converter boards with KD1001 transceivers

• USB2all adaptor board for USB to MDIO interfacing and configuration

• GUI software for easy system debugging and monitoring

• Two external power supplies

• One meter duplex SI-POF, plus all required cables and connectors
