MAX9150 Evaluation Kit
General Description
Features
ꢀ Two Independent Repeater Circuits
ꢀ Link Testing with LVDS Signals
The MAX9150 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that simplifies the evaluation of
the MAX9150 400Mbps, 10-port low-voltage differential
signaling (LVDS) repeater. The MAX9150 accepts an
LVDS signal and repeats it on 10 outputs. Output levels
are LVDS into a double-terminated bus (100Ω at each
end of the differential bus for a total 50Ω load). The EV
kit contains two independent circuits, each with a
MAX9150 repeater, that can be linked using various
media or tested independently. The outputs can be
sampled through SMA connectors or category-5 twist-
ed-wire pair. The two circuits on the EV kit require
+3.3V power supplies to operate.
