MAX3942 Evaluation Kit
_________________General Description
_____________________________Features
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
50Ω terminated oscilloscope.

Test Equipment Interface
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 50Ω to ground load for
proper operation.
