MAX3970 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX3970 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled chip-on-board electrical demonstration kit that provides easy evaluation of the MAX3970 10.3Gbps, +3.3V transimpedance amplifier. Note that the MAX3970 EV kit provides an electrical interface to the IC, which is similar to, but not exactly the same as, a photodiode. The circuit used tends to increase bandwidth and jitter beyond what is expected for typical photodiode inputs. o Fully Assembled and Tested o EV Kit Designed for 50 Interfaces

Quick Start
1) Connect a signal source with 500mVP-P amplitude to the INPUT. Set the data rate for the signal source to 10.3Gbps. 2) Connect OUT+ (J2) and OUT- (J3) to the 50 inputs of a high-speed oscilloscope. 3) Remove the shunt from JU1. 4) Connect a +3.3V supply to the proper terminals and power up the EV kit. 5) The differential signal at the oscilloscope should be approximately 450mVP-P. 3) Calculate the AC signal current (IINPUT in amps) as follows, and adjust the signal generator to obtain it: (r - 1) I INPUT = 2IAVE e (re + 1) For example, to emulate a signal with an average power of -10dBm and an extinction ratio of 8: 1) -10dBm optical power will produce 85A of average input current (assume a photodiode responsivity of 0.85A/W). Install a current meter between the TEST pin and a DC source. Adjust the source to provide 85A. 2) The signal amplitude is 2IAVE(re -1)/(re +1) = 132A. To generate this current through the two 243 series input resistors, set the signal source to produce an output level of 64mVP-P.
Detailed Description
The MAX3970 accepts a DC-coupled input from a highspeed photodiode, at optical modulation amplitudes ranging from 40AP-P to 2.0mAP-P. To facilitate characterization without a photodiode, the MAX3970 EV kit provides a simple circuit that emulates the photodiode using the signal voltage from a 50 source. The connector at IN (J1) is terminated with 50 to ground. Signal voltage applied to the EV kit's input is AC-coupled to a resistance in series with the MAX3970's input, creating an input signal current. Photodiode DC current can be emulated by injecting DC current into the TEST pin (TP1). The TEST pin is connected to IN through an on-chip 1k resistor.
Noise Measurements
Remove R1 before attempting noise measurements. With R1 removed, the total capacitance at the IN pin is approximately 0.2pF.
Photodiode Emulation
The following procedure can be used to emulate the high-speed current signal generated by a photodiode: 1) Select the desired optical power (PAVE in dBm) and extinction ratio (re). 2) Calculate the average current (IAVE in amps) as follows: IAVG = 10(PAVE / 10) 1000
