Care must be taken to ensure that no direct short between the supply voltage and supply ground exists. Use external coupling capacitors on the input and output when AC-coupling is desired. DC-coupled operation with positive VCC supplies normally causes permanent damage to laboratory test equipment (typical oscilloscope, BERT). The MAX3804 EV kit must be operated from a negative VEE supply when DC-coupled to normal laboratory equipment. 1) Connect a -3.3V power supply to TP3 (V EE ). Connect the power-supply ground to TP2 (GND) and J6 (VCC). Install shunts in JP2 and JP3, and remove shunt from JP1. 2) Install shunts across pins 2 and 3 of JPEQ1, JPEQ2, and JPEQ3 for minimal equalization (0, 0, 0). See Table 1 for the relationship between nominal path loss and FR-4 microstrip path length. 3) Apply a differential input signal (400mV P-P to 1200mVP-P) between SMA connectors J1 and J2 (SDI+ and SDI-). 4) Attach a differential high-speed oscilloscope with a 50Ω input to SMA connectors J3 and J4 (SDO+ and SDO-) to observe the output of the equalizer.

The EV kit enables full testing of the device functions including all equalization settings. SMA connectors with 50Ω controlled-impedance transmission lines to the MAX3804 are provided for all CML input and output ports. Adjustment and Control Descriptions (see Quick Start) COMPONENT NAME FUNCTION JPEQ1 EQ1 Equalizer boost control logic input LSB JPEQ2 EQ2 Equalizer boost control logic input JPEQ3 EQ3 Equalizer boost control logic input MSB DC-Coupled Operation with Laboratory Equipment Connect a +1.85V power supply to J6 (VCC). Connect a -1.65V power supply to TP3 (V EE ). Connect the power-supply ground to TP2 (GND). Install shunts JP2 and JP3. Remove shunt JP1. With this setup the part can be DC-coupled to external laboratory equipment (typical oscilloscope, BERT). DC-Coupled Operation with Oscilloscopes and BERTs Alternative Supply Configurations AC-Coupled Operation with VCC1 = VCC2 = +1.65V Connect a +3.3V power supply to J6 (VCC). Connect a +1.65V power supply to TP1 (VCC1) and J5 (VCC2). Connect the power-supply ground to TP2 (GND). Remove shunts JP2 and JP3. Install shunt JP1. Use external AC-coupling for connecting to external laboratory equipment (typical oscilloscope, BERT). The MAX3804 is designed with DC-coupled inputs and outputs, implemented with internal 50Ω terminations to V CC1 (SDI±) and V CC2 (SDO±). Laboratory oscilloscopes and BERTs normally terminate their inputs and outputs with 50Ω to ground. When the MAX3804 VCCs are connected to a positive supply, a DC path exists from the power supply to the ports of the oscilloscope or BERT. This configuration can cause permanent damage to the oscilloscope or BERT. When the MAX3804 EV kit is being used with normal oscilloscopes or BERTs, either external AC-coupling must be provided or VCC1 and VCC2 must be connected to ground (i.e., using a negative VEE supply). Failure to do so may permanently damage laboratory equipment. C5 0.1µF VCC VEE JP3 TP4 VCC J6 VCC TP3 VEE J2 SDI- VEE C8 33µF C6 0.1µF JP1 4 VEE C2 0.1µF N.C.
