Product Details

The MAX3875 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies evaluation of the MAX3875, a 2.5Gbps clock-recovery and data-retiming IC. The EV kit enables testing of all MAX3875 functions. SMA connectors are provided for the differential PECL-compatible data and clock outputs, as well as system loopback functions.

The differential data and clock outputs have 50Ω attenuators on-board to allow direct connection to a high-speed oscilloscope.

The MAX3875 EV kit comes configured for +3.3V operation and consumes approximately 220mA.
