EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
MAX3624A Evaluation Kit
The MAX3624A evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled
demonstration board that provides convenient evaluation of the MAX3624A low-jitter, precision clock generator. The EV kit includes an on-board 25MHz crystal to
allow immediate testing.
The EV kit includes switches to allow easy selection of
different modes of operation. The reference input and
clock outputs use SMA connectors and are AC-coupled
to simplify connection to test equipment.

MAX3624A Evaluation Kit
Quick Start
For evaluation of the MAX3624A, configure the EV kit as
follows:
1) D
etermine which output is going to be evaluated and
connect to the test equipment through SMA cables.
Be sure not to leave any outputs unterminated (i.e.,
place 50ω terminators on all unused outputs).
2) C
onnect a +3.3V power supply to J48 (VCC) and J2
(GND). Set the current limit to 200mA.
3) If the on-board crystal is used (IN_SEL set HIGH), the
PLL divider should be set to divide by 25 (FB_SEL1
and FB_SEL0 set LOW) to achieve the standard output rates shown in Table 3.
4) U
se Table 3 to set the output divider switches to
achieve the output frequency desired.
5) E
nable the output under test by setting the related
output-enable switch (Qx_OE) HIGH.

FUNCTION
SW1
SELB1
SW1 and SW2 set the output divider for the QB outputs. See Table 3 for more information.
SW2
SELB0
SW1 and SW2 set the output divider for the QB outputs. See Table 3 for more information.
SW3
SELA1
SW3 and SW11 set the output divider for the QA outputs. See Table 3 for more information.
SW4
QAC_OE
Set HIGH to enable the LVCMOS output, QA_C. Set LOW to disable QA_C.
SW6
BYPASS
Set LOW to bypass the PLL. Set HIGH to engage the PLL. Note that when the PLL is
bypassed the output dividers are automatically set to divide by 1.
SW7
FB_SEL1
SW7 and SW8 set the PLL divider. See Table 2 for more information.
SW8
FB_SEL0
SW7 and SW8 set the PLL divider. See Table 2 for more information.
J4 shunts the power-supply inductor. Normal operation is J4 shunted.
SW9
QA_OE
Set HIGH to enable LVPECL output QA. Set LOW to force a logic zero at QA.
SW11
SELA0
SW3 and SW11 set the output divider for the QA outputs. See Table 3 for more information.
SW12
QB1_OE
SW13
IN_SEL
SW15
QB0_OE
Set HIGH to enable LVPECL output QB1. Set LOW to force a logic zero at QB1.
Set HIGH to select the crystal as the frequency source. Set LOW to select the REF_IN as
the frequency source.
Set HIGH to enable LVPECL output QB0. Set LOW to force a logic zero at QB0.
