MAX9209/MAX9244 Evaluation Kit
Evluates:0/MAX924
General Description
Features
♦ 21-Bit Parallel LVCMOS/LVTTL Interface
The MAX9209/MAX9244 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides
a proven design to evaluate the MAX9209 21-bit pro-
grammable DC-balanced serializer and the MAX9244
21-bit deserializer with programmable spread spectrum
and DC balance. The MAX9209 serializes 21 bits of
LVCMOS/LVTTL parallel input data to three LVDS out-
puts. The MAX9244 deserializes the three LVDS input
data from the MAX9209 and transforms it back to 21-bit
LVCMOS/LVTTL parallel data.
♦ 8-Conductor Connector with Custom Cable
♦ Independent Evaluation of the MAX9209/MAX9244
Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes)
♦ Lead-Free and RoHS Compliant
♦ Proven PCB Layout
♦ Fully Assembled and Tested
Ordering Information
The MAX9209/MAX9244 EV kit circuits are implement-
ed on a single PCB and come with a MAX9209EUM+
and a MAX9244EUM+ installed.
