The MAX5876/MAX5877/MAX5878 EV kits are fully
assembled and tested surface-mount boards. Follow
the steps below for board operation. Do not turn on
power supplies or enable signal generators until all
connections are completed (Figure 1):
1) Verify that shunts are installed across pins 2 and 3
2) Verify that shunts are not installed across jumpers
3) Synchronize the digital pattern generator with the
4) Connect the clock signal generator to the EV kit
5) Verify that the digital pattern generator HP 81250 is
6) Connect the digital pattern generator output to the
