Evaluation board with ADCLK946 component installed Applicable documents (schematic, layout) GENERAL DESCRIPTION This user guide describes how to set up and use the evaluation board for the ADCLK946. The ADCLK946 data sheet should be used in conjunction with this user guide. The ADCLK946 is a very high performance clock fanout buffer. The evaluation board is fabricated using a high quality Rogers dielectric material. Transmission line paths are kept as close to 50 Ω as possible. 08668-101 DIGITAL PICTURE OF EVALUATION BOARD Figure 1.

Basic Equipment Required The recommended setup for the ADCLK946 evaluation board is shown in Figure 2. VCC is set to 3.3 V and VEE is set to GND. Quantity 1 1 1 4 On the evaluation board, the clock input is set up for singleended-to-differential operation via the balun. In addition, series capacitors in the path provide ac-coupled inputs to the ADCLK946. The common-mode voltage for both inputs is provided by tying VREF and VT together. This connection is made with R13 installed at the factory. Description Single power supply Signal source High bandwidth oscilloscope Matched high speed cables The range of the peak-to-peak input voltage swing at CLK is 0.2 V p-p to 1.7 V p-p. Note that output jitter performance is degraded by an input slew rate, as shown in the ADCLK946 data sheet.

All differential clock outputs on the evaluation board are biased to GND via 200 Ω and ac-coupled to the SMAs. From the SMAs, use matched 50 Ω coaxial cables into the oscilloscope for evaluation. See the evaluation board schematic in Figure 4 for more details. ADCLK946 Table 2.
