EVALUATION BOARD MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Board Lay−Up
The 16−lead QFN evaluation board is implemented in
four layers with split (dual) power supplies (Figure 2,
Evaluation Board Lay−up). For standard lab setup, a split
(dual) power supply is essential to enable the 50 W internal
impedance in the oscilloscope as a device termination. The
first layer or primary trace layer is 0.005, thick Rogers
RO6002 material, which is designed to have equal electrical
length on all signal traces from the device under the test
(DUT) to the sense output. The second layer is the 1.0 oz.
copper ground plane. The FR4 dielectric material is placed
between the second and third layer, and between the third
and fourth layer. The third layer is also a 1.0 oz copper
ground plane. The fourth layer is the secondary trace layer.
ON Semiconductor has developed an evaluation board for
the NB4N527S device as a convenience for the customers
interested in performing their own device engineering
assessment. This board provides a high bandwidth 50 W
controlled impedance environment. The pictures in Figure 1
show the top and bottom view of the evaluation board, which
can be configured in several different ways.
This evaluation board manual contains:
• Information on 16−lead QFN Evaluation Board
• Assembly Instructions
• Appropriate Lab Setup
• Bill of Materials
This manual should be used in conjunction with the
NB4N527S device data sheet, which contains full technical
details on the device specifications and operation.

Connecting Power and Ground Planes
to VEE, but must be THERMALLY connected to a
sufficient heat conduit such as a thermal plane Exact supply
voltage values that need to be applied can be found in
Table 1 and Figures 4 and 5.
Top side of the evaluation board has the four surfaces
mount test point clips labeled VCC, VEE, SMA_GND, and
DUT_GND. DUT_GND is connected to the exposed flag of
the QFN package. For proper operation, the exposed flag is
recommended to be ELECTRICALLY left floating or tied

Stimulus (Generator) Termination
For the LVDS configuration, VTDx pin pads of the D0 or
D1 input has to be shorted to form 100 W across differential
lines. This configuration is accomplished by moving the
jumper wire from SMA_GND ring to complementary VTDx
pin pad (example: VTD0 and VTD0b for D0 input and
VTD1 and VTD1b for D1 input).
All ECL outputs need to be terminated to VTT (VTT = VCC
–2.0 V = GND) via a 50 W resistor. The current board design
utilizes the internal resistors and the VTDx pins are wired to
ground. (More information on termination is provided in
AN8020). If evaluation does not require use of internal
termination resistors, 0402 chip resistor pads are provided
on the bottom side of the evaluation board. The jumper wires
of the VTDx pin pads should be removed (J1, J4, J13 and J15
to SMA_GND jumper). Solder the chip resistors to the
bottom side of the board between the appropriate input of the
device pin pads and the ground pads (for split power supply
setup).
Likewise for CML outputs, CML stimulus signal need to
be terminated to VCC via a 50 W resistor. If internal resistors
are used, the VTDx pin pads should be wired to VCC. To
accomplish this configuration, the jumper wire has to be
moved from SMA_GND ring to VCC ring on the bottom of
the board.
DUT Termination
For standard lab setup and test, a split (dual) power supply
is required enabling the 50 W internal impedance in the
oscilloscope to be used as a termination of the signals (in
split power supply setup SMA_GND is the system ground,
VCC is varied, and VEE is –1.25 V; see Table 1, Power
Supply Levels).
Board Components Configuration
The NB4N527SMNEVB evaluation board requires eight
side SMA connectors. Placement locations are described in
Table 2 and Figure 3.
