Description
The MAX4951C evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX4951C dual-channel buffer. The EV kit contains four sections: an application circuit, characterization circuit, and two sets of calibration traces.
The application circuit is designed to demonstrate the device's use in redriving serial-ATA (SATA) signals and SATA cable detection. This section of the EV kit operates from an external +5V supply that is regulated by an on-board LDO to +3.3V, which powers the device. All traces in the application circuit are 100Ω differential controlled-impedance traces.
The characterization circuit is provided for eye diagram evaluation using SMA connectors and 50Ω controlled-impedance traces. This section is powered by an external +3.3V power supply.
