Maxim Integrated MAX9601EVKIT+ Manual

General Description

The MAX9601 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assem-
bled and tested surface-mount PCB that evaluates the
MAX9601 dual-channel PECL output comparators. It
can be used to evaluate the MAX9601's performance in
tracking high-fidelity narrow pulses, as well as conform
its low-propagation delay and delay dispersion. The
differential input stage accepts a wide range of signals
in the common-mode range from (VEE + 3V) to (VCC -
2V). The outputs are complementary digital signals with
external components necessary to observe the PECL
serial-data output on a 50I input oscilloscope. The
board also provides layout options that allow the output
termination to be modified easily for alternate output
terminations, such as +5V PECL and high impedance
or AC-coupled level translation. The EV kit features test
points to control the complementary latch-enable control
inputs. The EV kit also provides resistor footprints to
evaluate the MAX9601's adjustable hysteresis feature.
