MAX3877/MAX3878 Evaluation Kits
General Description
The MAX3877/MAX3878 evaluation kits (EV kits)
simplify evaluation of the MAX3877/MAX3878 2.5Gbps
clock-recovery and data-retiming ICs. These EV kits
enable testing of all MAX3877 and MAX3878 functions.
SMA connectors are provided for the differential inputs
and outputs.
The MAX3877 has CML outputs and the MAX3878 has
PECL outputs. Both the MAX3877 and MAX3878 EV kits
come complete with on-board output structures to allow
direct connection to 50鈩?oscilloscopes and test equip-
ment.
