Overview

Features and Benefits

  • Isolated ground planes (logic side and bus side)
  • High speed layout supports 2.5 Gigabit operation and precision jitter measurements (<1 ps rms for random jitter)
  • Convenient connections through SMA terminals
    • 1.8 V power on Side 1 (VDD1) and Side 2 (VDD2)
    • 3.3 V power for LVDS receivers on Side 1 (VIO1) and Side 2 (VIO2, used with ADN4621 only)
    • Ground on Side 1 (GND1) and ground on Side 2 (GND2)
    • Side 1 LVDS signals: DIN1+, DIN1−, DIN2+ or DOUT2+, DIN2− or DOUT2−
    • Side 2 LVDS signals: DOUT1+, DOUT1−, DOUT2+ or DIN2+, DOUT2− or DIN2−
  • Jumper-selectable refresh mode
  • Termination resistors on all LVDS receivers

Product Details

The EVAL-ADN4620EBZ and EVAL-ADN4621EBZ allow quick and easy evaluation of the ADN4620/ADN4621 low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) isolators without the need for external components. The ADN4620/ADN4621 employ the Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler® technology to combine a 2-channel isolator with LVDS receivers and drivers into a single, 20-lead SSOP package. The ADN4620/ADN4621 are capable of running at data rates of up to 2.5 Gbps with low jitter.

The EVAL-ADN4620EBZ/EVAL-ADN4621EBZ have separate ground and power planes for each side of the isolator, with individual 1.8 V power supplies required on each side of  the ADN4620/ADN4621. This separation enables the evaluation of the ADN4620/ADN4621 with galvanic isolation between both sides of the devices. An additional power supply providing 3.3 V is required on Side 1 (and also Side 2 for the ADN4621).

For full details on the ADN4620/ADN4621, see the ADN4620/ADN4621 data sheet, which must be consulted in conjunction with the user guide when using the EVAL-ADN4620EBZ or EVALADN4621EBZ.
