MAX19541/MAX19542 Evaluation Kits
General Description
Features
♦ Up to 170Msps Sampling Rate Using the MAX19542
♦ Up to 125Msps Sampling Rate Using the MAX19541
♦ Low-Voltage and Low-Power Operation
♦ Fully Differential Input Signal Configuration
♦ On-Board Output Buffers
The MAX19541/MAX19542 evaluation kits (EV kits) are
fully assembled and tested printed-circuit boards
(PCBs) that contain all the components necessary to
evaluate the performance of the MAX19541 (125Msps)
and MAX19541/MAX19542 (170Msps) 12-bit analog-to-
digital converters (ADCs). The MAX19541/MAX19542
accept differential analog inputs; however, the EV kits
generate this signal from a user-provided, single-ended
signal source. The digital outputs produced by the ADC
are CMOS compatible and can be easily captured with
a user-provided, high-speed logic analyzer or data-
acquisition system. The EV kits operate from 1.8V and
3.3V power supplies and include circuitry that generates
a clock signal from a user-provided AC signal.
♦ Fully Assembled and Tested
