MAX3744/MAX3745 Evaluation Kit
________________________ Features
______________ General Description
The MAX3744/MAX3745 evaluation kit (EV kit) allows
complete evaluation of both versions of 2.7Gbps
transimpedance amplifiers.
Fully Assembled and Tested
Includes Photodiode Emulation Circuit
Calibration Circuit for Accurate Bandwidth
Measurement
The EV kit includes a circuit that emulates the high speed,
zero-to-peak current input signal that would be produced
by a photodiode. The kit also includes a calibration circuit
that allows accurate bandwidth measurement.
