The ML52x RocketIO transceiver characterization platform allows designers to investigate
and experiment with the features of the RocketIO transceivers (the transceivers). This
document describes the features and operation of the boards.
Caution!
To protect the ML52x platform from damage caused by electrostatic discharge
(ESD), follow standard ESD prevention measures when handling the board.
