Functional Description
The M02040/43/49/50 Evaluation Module has been designed to demonstrate the
performance of the respective ICs, a highly integrated family of limiting amplifiers
targeted for use in optical receivers operating up to 4.3 Gbps (M02043/49).
The evaluation module enables the user to investigate the full functionality of the
device and facilitate programming of various features. The high speed data inputs and
outputs are AC-coupled, with controlled impedance lines and good quality SMA
connectors providing the interface to test equipment. The laminate (Nelco N4000-13)
used for the design of this board, offers superior high frequency performance and
ensures a good quality transmission medium for the signals delivered to and output
from the board.
Features:
Supports the -14 (3.3V only) and the -15 (3.3/5V) versions of the parts. Either
+3.3V or +5V supply selected by a switch. No components require changing
SMA connectors for all high-speed I/O connections with AC-coupling to the IC
allowing direct connection of inputs and outputs to test equipment
Operates with Differential input levels up to 1200 mVpp
