MAX19527 EV kit
Single 3.3V, 1A DC power supply
Signal generator with low phase noise and low jitter
for clock input (e.g., HP 8644B)
Signal
(e.g., HP 8644B)
Maxim DCEP
Analog bandpass filters (e.g., K&L Microwave) for
input and clock signals
User-supplied Windows 2000, Windows XP, or
Windows Vista PC with two spare USB ports
Verify that shunts are configured in their default
positions (Table 1) for proper startup operation of
the EV kit software.
Connect the clock generator output to the clock
bandpass filter input.
Connect the output of the clock bandpass filter to
the EV kit CLK SMA connector.
Connect the outputs of the analog signal generators
to the input of the signal bandpass filters. Keep the
cable connection between the signal generators,
filters, and EV kit board as short as possible for
optimum dynamic performance.
Connect the output of the signal bandpass filters
to the IN_ SMA connectors. It is recommended that
a 3dB or 6dB attenuation pad be used to reduce
reflections and distortion from the bandpass filter.
Carefully connect the boards by aligning J5 on the
DCEP board to H1 on the EV kit. Gently press them
together.
