The MAX9601 EV kit operates from either standard
supply levels of -5.2V/+5V or shifted levels of -4.2V/+6V.
Connect the positive and negative supply voltages to
the VCC and VEE pads, respectively. The EV kit also
requires an output driver positive supply for each chan-
nel. Connect the logic supply voltages to the VCCOA
and VCCOB pads.
The EV kit provides INA+, INA-, INB+, and INB- SMA
connectors to access the MAX9601’s differential inputs.
The differential input stage accepts a wide range of
signals in the common-mode range from (VEE + 3V)
to (VCC - 2V) with a CMRR of 70dB (typ). All the input
traces are symmetrical and have 50I of characteristic
impedance. Each input trace has a 49.9I termination
resistor to avoid signal reflections.
The EV kit provides QA, QA, QB, and QB SMA connec-
tors to access the MAX9601’s comparator outputs. All
the output traces are symmetrical and have 50I of char-
acteristic impedance. The output signals are referenced
to the logic supply voltage VCCO_ and have the external
components necessary to observe the PECL output. See
the Output Termination section for more details.
Hysteresis can be introduced to prevent oscillation or
multiple transitions due to noise on low-slew input sig-
nals. The EV kit features resistors R7 and R16 to program
the current-controlled hysteresis. Refer to the Hysteresis
(MAX9600/MAX9601) section in the MAX9601 IC data
sheet for a more detailed description.
