Product Details

The DC499A demonstration board features the LTC5100, a 155Mbps to 3.2Gbps VCSEL* driver offering a high level of integration and high-speed performance. The DC499A board supports data transmission of up to the maximum 3.2Gbps data rate of the LTC5100.

Demonstration software (Python Code) running on a personal computer allows easy access to the rich set of digital control features of the LTC5100. All that is needed is a PC with USB port, Python v2.7 or greater, Python USB COM port support such as USPP package, DC590B controller board, and a 5V power supply.

Note: The demo board manual shows a test configuration using Microsoft Windows XP and a DB-9 COM port. This legacy test configuration is no longer available. For new designs, order the DC499A RF board as shown here. The end user is responsible for the I²C register reads and writes.
