Product Details

The MAX3880 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies evaluation of the MAX3880 2.488Gbps, SDH/SONET 1:16 deserializer with clock recovery. The EV kit requires only a single +3.3V supply and includes all the external components necessary to interface with 3.3V CML inputs and LVDS output logic. The board can be connected to the output of a limiting amplifier circuit (such as the MAX3866) and to the input of an LVDS device (such as an overhead termination circuit). A signal generator or stimulus system can be used with an oscilloscope to evaluate the MAX3880's basic functionality.

Applications

  • 622Mbps ATM/SONET Access Nodes
  • 622Mbps SDH/SONET Transmission Systems
  • Add/Drop Multiplexers
  • Digital Cross-Connects
