9-4067; Rev 0; /08 MAX95 Evaluation Kit General Description The MAX95 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested printed-circuit board (PCB) that simplifies the evaluation of the MAX95 400Mbps, 0-bit LVDS serializer and the MAX906 400Mbps, 0-bit LVDS deserializer. The MAX95 serializer transforms 0-bitwide parallel LVCMOS/LVTTL data into a serial highspeed, low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) data stream. The serializer pairs with a deserializer, the MAX906, which receives the serial output and transforms it back to 0-bit-wide parallel LVCMOS/LVTTL data. The EV kit requires a single.v supply and two reference clock inputs with a 6MHz to 40MHz range to operate. The 0-bit parallel input data is connected to a 4-pin header and the output data is sampled at a separate 4-pin header. The EV kit circuit can be modified to isolate and evaluate the MAX95 and MAX906 independently.

MAX95 Evaluation Kit Evaluates: MAX95/MAX906 Quick Start Recommended Equipment Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:.v DC power supply Two clock generators Data generator for LVCMOS/LVTTL 0-bit parallel signal input Logic analyzer or data-acquisition system or oscilloscope Procedure The MAX95 EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps below to verify board operation. Caution: Do not turn on the power supply or enable the clock generators until all connections are completed. ) Verify that all shunts are in their default positions. See Table for default shunt positions. ) Connect the.v power supply to the +.V pad. Connect the ground terminal of this supply to the pad. ) Connect the data generator to 4-pin connector J and set it to generate 0-bit parallel data at LVCMOS/LVTTL levels (high-level input from V to and low-level input from 0.8V to ). See Table for input bit locations. 4) Connect the first clock generator to SMA connector J and set it for an output with a frequency of 6MHz to 40MHz. Use LVCMOS/LVTTL levels. Note that the TCLK SMA connector is terminated with two parallel-connected 00Ω resistors. 5) Connect the second clock generator to SMA connector J and set it for the same frequency as the first clock generator. The frequency tolerance between the two clocks should not be larger than. Note that the REFCLK SMA connector is terminated with two parallel-connected 00Ω resistors. 6) Set the logic analyzer or data-acquisition system for LVCMOS/LVTTL level signal input. 7) Connect the logic analyzer or data-acquisition system or oscilloscope to the signal output 4-pin connector J4. See Table for output bit locations. 8) Turn on the power supply. 9) Enable the first clock generator. 0) Enable the second clock generator. ) Enable the data generator. ) Enable the logic analyzer or data-acquisition system and begin sampling data. Detailed Description The MAX95 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested PCB that simplifies the evaluation of the MAX95 400Mbps, 0-bit LVDS serializer and the MAX906 400Mbps, 0-bit LVDS deserializer. The serializer/deserializer data transfer starts with the serializer initially locking onto the reference clock and then sending the serialized data to the deserializer. A start-bit high and a stop-bit low frame the 0-bit data and function as the embedded clock edge in the serial data stream. The serial rate is the TCLK frequency times the data and appended bits. For example, if TCLK is 40MHz, the serial rate is 40 x (0 + bits) = 480Mbps. Since only 0 bits are from input data, the payload rate is 40 x 0 = 400Mbps. The serializer output pins (OUT+ and OUT-) are held in high impedance when V CC is first applied and while the PLL is locking to the local reference clock. If the serializer goes into high impedance, the deserializer loses PLL lock and needs to reestablish phase lock before data transfer can resume. This is done by transmitting all zeros for at least one frame. The EV kit requires a single.v supply to operate and two reference clock inputs in the 6MHz to 40MHz range. The 0-bit parallel input data can be supplied to 4-pin header J with a data generator running at the same frequency as the reference clock, or the bits can be configured by manually installing shunts across header J pins. The output 0-bit parallel data can be sampled or individually tested at 4-pin header J4. The first reference clock is for the serializer PLL reference. The second reference clock is for the deserializer PLL reference. The tolerance between the two references should not be larger than. They can share a clock signal by a splitter. In real applications, the serializer and deserializer references may connect to a single system clock. Input Signal The MAX95 EV kit accepts 0-bit parallel data at LVCMOS/LVTTL levels (high-level input from V to V CC and low-level input from 0.8V to ). The 0-bit pattern can be supplied to the EV kit by connecting a data generator to 4-pin header J or by connecting selected J pins to a high/low LVCMOS/LVTTL state. See Table for input bit locations on 4-pin header J. Output Signal The MAX95 EV kit outputs 0-bit parallel data at LVCMOS/LVTTL levels on 4-pin header J4. To sample the 0-bit pattern, connect a logic analyzer or dataacquisition system to J4. See Table for the output bit locations on 4-pin header J4.
MAX95 Evaluation Kit MAX95 Reference Clock TCLK The MAX95 EV kit allows the MAX95 to accept an input clock from either a data generator/logic analyzer or an input clock from an individual function generator by changing jumper JU.
