MAX100EVKIT

Features of the MAX100EVKIT are:(1)6.8 effective bits at 125MHz;(2)on-board reference generator/buffer;(3)50 input through SMA coaxial connectors;(4)dual differential-output data paths;(5)±270mV input signal range;(6)latched 100k ECL outputs;(7)3x32 pin EURO-card connector.

Quick start of the MAX100EVKIT are:(1)plug the termination board into the 96-pin connector of the MAX100EVKIT board;(2)use a fan to provide at least 200 lineal feet per minute airflow to the MAX100's heatsink;(3)connect the power supplies.The power-supply input pads are in the lower right corner of the MAX100EVKIT board. The board requires a 12W power supply that provides +5V and -5.2V with a common ground;(4)turn on the -5.2V power supply, followed by the +5V power supply. The -5.2V power supply should be the first supply turned on and the last supply turned off;(5)connect a low-phase-jitter RF source with an input range of -4dBm to +10dBm to the clock input;(6)connect a test signal to the analog inputs. use IN+ and IN- if the signal is differential, or use IN+ if the signal is single-ended;(7)use a logic analyzer (such as the HP8000 or an equivalent data-acquisition system) to observe the digitized results on the termination board pins.The outputs are 100k ECL compatible.
