MAX3800 Evaluation Kits
General Description
The MAX3800 evaluation kits (EV kits) simplify evalua-
tion of the MAX3800 adaptive equalizer and cable dri-
ver. The EV kits enable testing of all the device’s func-
tions. SMA connectors with 50Ω controlled-impedance
transmission lines to the MAX3800 are provided for all
input and output ports.

Note:
Please indicate that you are using the MAX3800 when
contacting these component suppliers.
Quick Start
1) Connect a +3.3V power supply to J9 (VCCE) and
J11 (VCCD). Connect the power-supply ground to
J10. (Note: Placing a shunt on JU1 connects VCCE
and VCCD.)
Cable Driver
2) Connect a differential input signal (700mV differen-
tial voltage amplitude) to the cable driver input at
SMA edge connectors J5 and J6.
3) Connect a 50Ω oscilloscope to SMA output connec-
tors J7 and J8 to observe the output of the cable
driver.
4) Potentiometer R4 (R
MOD
) can be adjusted to
change the cable driver output amplitude.
Adaptive Cable Equalizer
5) Connect a differential input signal (700mV differen-
tial voltage amplitude) to a cable. Connect the other
end of the cable to the cable equalizer inputs at
SMA edge connectors J1 and J2.
*The
MAX3800UHJ is included with the MAX3800EVKIT. The
MAX3800UGJ is included in the MAX3800UGJ-KIT.
