Troubleshooting
If the demo boards are not performing properly, use the following as a guide for
quick solutions to common problems. If the problem persists, contact the hotline
number listed under Additional Information section of this document.
Check the following:
Trouble shooting chart:
Problem…
There is only the output clock.
There is no output data.
No output data and clock.
Power, ground, input data and
input clock are connected
correctly, but no outputs.
The devices are pulling more than
1A of current.
After powering up the demo
boards, the power supply reads
less than 3V when it is set to
3.3V.

input connector.
Solution…
Make sure the data scramble/mapping is correct.
Make sure there is data input.
Make sure Power is on. Input data and clock are active
and connected correctly.
Make sure that the 2 meter cable is secured to both demo
boards.
Check the Power Down pins of both boards and make sure
the devices are enabled (/PD=ON) for operation.
Check for shorts on the demo boards.
Use a larger power supply that will provide enough current
for the demo boards.
