+3.3V power supply with 100mA current capability
1)
Connect a signal source to J11 (IN1 AC). Set the
signal amplitude to 960mVP-P (Corresponding to
200µAP-P current into the TIA). Set the data rate to
622Mbps.
2)
Apply 100µA to the IN1 DC input (J7) using a DC
current source to emulate the DC component of the
input signal. A voltage source connected from J7 to
GND may be used if a DC current source is not
available.

3)
Connect OUT1+ (J10) and OUT1- (J9) to the 50Ω
inputs of a high-speed oscilloscope.
4)
Remove the shunt from J20 to enable the DC
cancellation loop.
Install the shunt on J28 to enable the average
current monitor.
Connect a +3.3V supply and ground to J2 SMB
terminal.
The differential signal at the oscilloscope should be
approximately 240mVP-P.

The MAX3658A accepts a DC-coupled input from a highspeed photodiode, for optical modulation amplitudes
ranging from -33dBm to 0dBm. The MAX3658A
evaluation board facilitates characterization of the
MAX3658A TIA with or without a photodiode. The
MAX3658A EV kit comes from the factory with a low input
current and a high input current setup. The user must
assemble the TO header sections, if used.

The 8pin TDFN section provides photodiode emulation
using a simplified electrical photodiode model. The model
provides a 50Ω electrical input termination, resistors that
convert the high speed input voltage to high speed
current. A DC path is provided to model the average
photodiode current.

The TO header assembly layout provides a userassembled interface for evaluation of 4 and 5 pin TO
headers. (See the MAX3658 datasheet for a suggested

The MAX3658A outputs are back terminated with 75Ω.
To facilitate interface with 50Ω equipment, the
MAX3658A EV Kit places external 150Ω termination
resistors in parallel with each output so that the EV Kit
will match a 50Ω environment.
Note that the output load has a direct effect on the overall
gain and output signal swing. Because of the external
150Ω resistors and the 50Ω environment, the overall gain
is reduced by 33%. If matching a 50Ω environment is not
critical, higher gain can be achieved by increasing the
load resistance.

Use the following procedure to emulate the high-speed
current signal generated by a photodiode:
Select the desired optical power (PAVE in dBm) and
extinction ratio (re).
Calculate the average current (IAVE in Amps) as follows:
IAVG =
10 ( PAVE / 10 )
ρ
1000
where ρ is photodiode responsivity in A/W
Calculate the AC signal current (IINPUT in AP-P) as follows,
and adjust the signal generator to obtain it:
IINPUT = 2IAVE
(re − 1)
(re + 1)
For example, to emulate a signal with an average power
of -25dBm and an extinction ratio of 8 on the U1 electrical
circuit.
-25dBm optical power will produce 2.7µA of average
input current (assume a photodiode responsivity of
0.85A/W). Install a current meter between an external
DC source and the IN1 DC test point. Adjust the source
to provide 2.7µA.
The signal amplitude is 2IAVE(re-1)/(re+1) = 4.2µA. To
generate this current through the 4.5kΩ series input
resistors and the 300Ω internal resistance, set the signal
source to produce an input of 20mVP-P on the IN1 AC
input.
For evaluation using the U2 electrical circuit note that the
series input resistance is 748Ω along with a 300Ω
internal resistance.

Remove the input resistors and shunt capacitor before
attempting noise measurements. With the input resistors
and shunt capacitor removed, the total capacitance at the
IN pin 0.5pF for the TDFN section.
