MAX3675/MAX3676 Evaluation Kits
General Description
The MAX3675/MAX3676 evaluation kits (EV kits) simplify
evaluation of the MAX3675/MAX3676 622Mbps clock-
recovery and data-retiming IC with limiting amplifier.
The EV kits enable testing of all MAX3675/MAX3676
functions. They provide selectable analog or digital
data inputs, as well as differential PECL-compatible
data and clock outputs.
The differential data and clock outputs have 50Ω atten-
uators on-board to allow direct connection to a high-
speed oscilloscope.
The MAX3675/MAX3676 EV kits come configured for
+3.3V operation and consume approximately 120mA.

Connections
The digital inputs (DDI+, DDI-) have on-board AC-cou-
pling capacitors followed by Thevenin-equivalent 50Ω
terminations. The analog inputs (ADI+, ADI-) are
equipped with DC 50Ω loads followed by AC-coupling
capacitors. Remember that the analog inputs to the
MAX3675/MAX3676 must be AC-coupled. All of the
MAX3675/MAX3676 data and clock outputs (SDO+,
SDO-, SCLKO+, SCLKO-) are terminated on-board with
50Ω, PECL, 2X attenuators. Configured in this way,
these outputs can be directly connected to the 50Ω
inputs of a high-speed oscilloscope for analysis.

Setup
1) Select either the PECL (DDI ENABLE) or the analog
(ADI ENABLE) inputs with jumper JP10.
2) Verify that the shunt across jumper JP2 is in place.
3) Verify that the shunt is across pins 2 and 3 of jumper
JP8.
4) Verify that resistor R23 is 52.3Ω (MAX3675) or
0Ω (MAX3676).
5) Connect the +3.3V power supply to the appropriate
terminals marked on the EV kit and apply power.
6) Connect a 622Mbps PRBS NRZ signal to the select-
ed inputs with 50Ω cables.
7) Connect the outputs to a 50Ω high-speed oscillo-
scope.
Jitter analysis and product performance can also be
observed by appropriately interfacing the EV kit with a
bit-error-rate tester (BERT) and a jitter analyzer.
1) Remove the data and clock output attenuators for
those signal lines you intend to observe. For exam-
ple, if you intend to observe SDO+, then open R9
and R10, and short R7 and R8.
2) Use a 50Ω bias tee to bias the MAX3675/MAX3676
outputs.
Adjustments, Jumpers, and Test Points
Two adjustments are available on the MAX3675/ MAX3676
EV kits: VTH ADJ (R31) and PHADJ (R26). VTH ADJ is
used to set the loss-of-power threshold level for the LOP
monitor. PHADJ, although not required, can be used to
shift the sampling edge of the recovered clock relative
to the center of the data eye. Be sure to remove jumper
JP2 if you intend to adjust PHADJ. See Table 1 for
jumper functions.
The following high-impedance test points are provided
for signal monitoring:
• RSSI, used to monitor the received-signal-strength
indicator output
• LOP, used to monitor loss of power
•
LOL,
used to monitor loss of lock
• V
TH
, used to monitor the threshold voltage level
Interfacing with ECL Test Equipment
Not all jitter analyzers and BERTs can easily interface
with the EV kits’ PECL output signal levels. If your test
equipment requires standard ECL levels, then bias tees
are required (Figure 1). For example, if using an HP
BERT, you must do the following:
