Quick Start

Recommended Equipment

•

DC power supplies:

Analog (AVCC)

1.8V, 1A

Output drive (OVCC)

1.8V, 250mA

Clock (VCLK)

3.3V, 100mA

Buffer (VPECL)

3.3V, 1A

•

Signal generator with low phase noise and low jitter

for clock input (e.g., HP/Agilent 8644B)

•

Two signal generators for analog signal inputs

(e.g., HP/Agilent 8644B)

•

Logic analyzer or data-acquisition system

(e.g., HP/Agilent 16500C, TLA621)

•

Analog bandpass filters (e.g., Allen Avionics, K&L

Microwave) for input signal and clock signal

•

Digital voltmeter

Procedure

The MAX1217/MAX1218/MAX1219 EV kits are fully

assembled and tested surface-mount boards. Follow

the steps below for board operation. Do not turn on

power supplies or enable function generators until

all connections are completed.

1) Verify that shunts are installed in the following locations:

JU1 (3-4)

→ Internal reference enabled (channel A)

JU2 (3-4)

→ Internal reference enabled (channel B)

JU3 (2-3)

→ Channel A output in two’s-comple-

ment format
