describes how to set the default settings:
1. Insert the 12 V adapter terminal into connector P58.
2. Set the power switch (S3) to the on position.
3. Connect the provided USB cable from the PC to the USB
connector on the evaluation board (P56).
4. Connect IPx (positive) and INx (negative) to a pattern
generator to receive a pseudorandom binary sequence
(PRBS) signal. It is important to use a pair of matched
length, 50 Ω cables.
5. Connect OPx and ONx to an oscilloscope using a pair of
matched length, 50 Ω cables.
6. Apply a data pattern signal (any rate up to 11.3 Gbps) to
the ADN4612. A signal with an amplitude of 800 mV p-p
differential is a good signal for an initial test.
7. Extract the contents of the compressed
Evaluation Software .zip file to a folder on the PC.
8. Double-click ADN4612_0vX.exe to run the
evaluation software.
