Overview

Features and Benefits

  • Easy +3.3V Electrical Evaluation of the MAX3970
  • Fully Assembled and Tested
  • EV Kit Designed for 50Ω Interfaces

Product Details

The MAX3970 evaluation kit is a fully assembled chip-on-board electrical demonstration kit that provides easy evaluation of the MAX3970 10.3Gbps, +3.3V transimpedance amplifier. Note that the MAX3970 evaluation kit provides an electrical interface to the IC, which is similar to, but not exactly the same as, a photodiode. The circuit used will tend to increase bandwidth and jitter beyond what is expected for typical photodiode inputs.

Applications

  • 10.3Gbps Ethernet Optical Receivers
  • Fibre Channel Optical Receivers
  • OC-192 VSR Optical Receivers
