_______________________________________________________________________________________

Note: Indicate that you are using the MAX1213/MAX1214/MAX1215 when contacting these component suppliers.

Quick Start

Recommended Equipment

• DC power supplies:

Analog

(VCC)

1.8V, 1A

Clock

(VCLK)

3.3V, 200mA

Buffers

(VLPEL)

3.3V, 400mA

• Signal generator with low-phase noise and low jitter

for clock input (e.g., HP 8662A, HP 8644B)

• Signal generator for analog signal input (e.g., HP

8662A, HP 8644B)

• Logic analyzer or data-acquisition system (e.g., HP

16500C with high-speed state card HP 16517A)

• Digital voltmeter

Procedure

The MAX1213/MAX1214/MAX1215 EV kits are a fully

assembled and tested surface-mount board. Follow the

steps below for board operation. Do not turn on power

supplies or enable signal generators until all connec-

tions are completed:

1)

Verify that shunts are installed in the following

locations:

JU2 (1-2)

→ divide-by-two disabled

JU3 (2-3)

→ two’s-complement output selected

J3 (3-4)

→ internal reference enabled

2)

Connect the clock signal generator to the SMA

connector labeled CLK.

3)

Connect the analog input signal generator to the

SMA connector labeled J1.

4)

Connect the logic analyzer with high-speed card

probe to either headers J4/J5 (LVDS-compatible

signals) or J6/J7 (LVPECL-compatible signals).

See Table 4 for header connections.

5)

Connect a 1.8V, 1A power supply to VCC.

Connect the ground terminal of this supply to GND

closest to the VCC pad.

6)

Connect a 3.3V, 200mA power supply to VCLK.

Connect the ground terminal of this supply to GND

closest to the VCLK pad.

7)

Connect a 3.3V, 400mA power supply to VLPEL.

Connect the ground terminal of this supply to GND

closest to the VLPEL pad.
