MAX3942 Evaluation Kit

_________________General Description

The MAX3942 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled

demonstration board that provides electrical evaluation of

the MAX3942 10.7Gbps modulator driver. The outputs are

interfaced to SMA connectors that can be connected to a

50

Ω terminated oscilloscope.

Warning: The data and clock inputs (DATA±, CLK±) are

DC-coupled to the SMA connectors, so be sure to set

proper common-mode voltages for these inputs. The

modulation outputs (OUT±) are also DC-coupled to the

SMA connectors and require a 50

Ω to ground load for

proper operation.
