ISL59605IRZ-EVALZ Evaluation Board Operation
Description
The ISL59605IRZ-EVALZ board is designed to allow evaluation of
the ISL5960x (“MegaQ™”) family of parts, as well as provide the
reference schematic and PCB layout of a typical MegaQ™
application.
Power Connections
The power connectors are at the middle of the top of the
evaluation board. The board requires a 5V power supply capable
of supplying at least 110mA. Because of the high amount of
high-frequency gain required to equalize long cables, excessive
noise on the power supply may introduce noise on the output
signal or cause difficulty locking at longer distances. Power
supplies with linear regulators are preferable to switching
regulators, however, switching supplies may work acceptably
well if they are adequately filtered.
Input Connections
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) signals arrive via the RJ-45 Cat 5
connector on the left. The input signal can arrive on any arbitrary
combination of pins, though it would typically be one of the
standard Cat x pairs of 1 and 2, 3 and 6, 4 and 5, or 7 and 8. The
3x8 jumper block to the right of the RJ-45 jack is used to assign
which Cat x pin goes to the positive MegaQ™ input (in the photo,
it’s pin 8), and which goes to the negative input (pin 7). The
“Termination” switch to the lower right of the jumper block

should be switched to “CAT5” (it’s set to “COAX” in the photo). Do
not attach a coax cable while trying to receive a signal over Cat x.
Coax signals are connected through the “COAX IN” BNC
connector on the upper left. When using coax signals, set the
“Termination” switch to “COAX” and ensure that no Cat x cables
are attached to the RJ45 connector.
The IN+ and IN- test points near U1 can be used to view the input
signals at the input to the MegaQ™ chip.
Output Connections
Standard 75Ω composite video is available at the “VIDEO OUT”
BNC connector on the right, as well as the “OUT” test pin between
U1 and the BNC output.
Switch Settings
There are several switches on the evaluation board that can be
used to put MegaQ™ in its different operational modes:
• “EQ DIS” (EQ Enable): This can be used to disable the EQ so
• COLOR: The Color signal can be an input or an output (see
that an external source can drive a signal over the cable. This
switch should be set to 0 for normal operation (switch in “up”
position). Note: The switch used may have a middle “open”
position, but it should always be set low or high.

automatic color detection is the middle position (“F” for floating,
not 0 or 1).
