MAX3831/MAX3832 Evaluation Kits
General Description
Features
The MAX3831/MAX3832 evaluation kits (EV kits) simpli-
fy evaluation of the MAX3831/MAX3832 2.488Gbps
interconnect mux/demux ICs with clock generator. The
EV kits require only a +3.3V single supply and include
all the external components necessary to interface with
3.3V CML and LVDS logic. A parallel data generator or
stimulus system can be used with an oscilloscope to
evaluate the chip’s complete functionality. A built-in
system test (BIST) function allows a system high-speed
test.
ꢀ +3.3V Single Supply
ꢀ On-Board Clock and Data Recovery (CDR)
ꢀ Fully Assembled and Tested Surface-Mount
Board
ꢀ Loss-of-Frame/Loss-of-Lock Monitors
The MAX3831/MAX3832 EV kits contain an on-board
clock and data recovery IC (MAX3876EHJ) that is used
to generate 2.488Gbps clock and data inputs to the
high-speed, CML-compatible serial-input ports.
