Evaluation Kit for the MAX9235 and MAX9206

Active: In Production.

The MAX9235 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested printed-circuit board (PCB) that simplifies the evaluation of the MAX9235 400Mbps, 10-bit LVDS serializer and the MAX9206 400Mbps, 10-bit LVDS deserializer. The MAX9235 serializer transforms 10-bit-wide parallel LVCMOS/LVTTL data into a serial high-speed, low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) data stream. The serializer pairs with a deserializer, the MAX9206, which receives the serial output and transforms it back to 10-bit-wide parallel LVCMOS/LVTTL data.

The EV kit requires a single 3.3V supply and two reference clock inputs with a 16MHz to 40MHz range to operate. The 10-bit parallel input data is connected to a 24-pin header and the output data is sampled at a separate 24-pin header. The EV kit circuit can be modified to isolate and evaluate the MAX9235 and MAX9206 independently.
