IC PACKAGE
24 Thin QFN
________________________ Quick Start
Caution:
The MAX3841 EV kit is a DC-coupled
evaluation board. Each CML input and output is
terminated with 50鈩?to the respective I/O supplies. DC-
coupled operation with positive I/O supplies may cause
permanent damage to laboratory test equipment
(oscilloscope, BERT). The I/O supplies must be
connected to ground and a negative supply connected
to V
EE
when DC-coupling to laboratory test equipment.
1)
Connect the I/O supplies to ground and disconnect
V
EE
from ground by placing shunts on JU2, JU4,
JU5, JU6, and removing the shunt from JU7.
Enable both outputs by placing shunts across pins
1 and 2 of JU8 and JU9.
Configure the crosspoint switch to route IN1 to both
OUT1 and OUT2 by placing shunts across pins 2
and 3 of JU1 and across pins 1 and 2 of JU3.
Connect a +1.5V power supply to J13 (V
CC
).
Connect the power-supply ground to J19 (GND).
Connect a -1.8V power supply to J20 (V
EE
).
Apply a 10Gbps differential signal (150mV
P-P
to
1200mV
P-P
) to SMA connectors J1 (IN1+) and J2
(IN1-).
Connect an oscilloscope with 50鈩?terminations to
SMA connectors J5 (OUT1-), J6 (OUT1+), J7
(OUT2+), and J8 (OUT2-).
