Evaluation Kit for the MAX3691

All versions are No Longer Available. See Ordering Information for recommended replacements.

The MAX3691 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies evaluation of the MAX3691 622Mbps, SDH/SONET 4:1 serializer. This EV kit requires a single +3.3V supply and includes the external components necessary to observe the PECL serial-data output on a 50Ω input oscilloscope.

The serial-data output termination can be modified easily to suit other logic interfaces, such as 3.3V PECL, high impedance, or ECL inputs. To evaluate the MAX3691's basic functioning, connect the board directly to the outputs of an LVDS device (such as an overhead-generation circuit) or to a signal generator.
