Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ALP

Hi Sir,

I bought 960 and 953 EVM kit and would like to evaluate the 953 performance.

I saw the 960 ALP have a test script folder only two items.

Can you share me where to find more scripts to test the link performance and have documents to read its meaning?

thanks.

Hi Sir,

Is the Margin Analysis a more important script?

And where to find the script and its document to read?

thanks.

Hello,

I would suggest that the Margin Analysis Program (MAP) be used in ALP. This tool will help evaluate the link and determine the best AEQ settings for the best link. This allows for a more robust connection and can reduce the lock time. An app note describing the tool and how to use it can be found here: http://www.ti.com/lit/an/snla301/snla301.pdf?ts=1588178200779.

Regards,

Nick
