max3941 evaluation kit 2 __________________________________________________________________________________________________ evaluates: max3941 _____________________________________________________________________ quick start 1) if the data is to be latched, place shunt on jp7 ( rten ) to enable the clock inputs. otherwise, leave it open. 2) install a jumper on jp2. 3) install a jumper on the right side of jp3. this allows adjustment of modset using r3. 4) install a jumper on the left side of jp5. this allows adjustment of biasset. 5) to use the pulse-width control (pwc) install a jumper on the lower two pins of jp1. to disable pwc place a jumper on the top two pins of jp1. 6) ensure that a jumper is not installed on jp6 ( moden) and enable modulation. 7) connect a differential signal source to j1 (data+) and j2 (data-). refer to the max3941 data sheet to determine voltage levels. 8) if the latch is enabled, apply a differential clock signal to j3 (clk+) and j4 (clk-). refer to the max3941 data sheet to determine voltage levels. 9) connect a high-bandwidth oscilloscope, such as the tektronix csa8000 with the 80e01 sampling head, to j7 (out). 10) a high-quality sma attenuator (14db or 20db) is required to reduce the signal level for compatibility with the most sampling heads. the attenuator should be connected directly to the output sma connector on the ev kit to minimize transmission line reflections. 11) attach a -5.2v power supply to j10 (gnd) and j11 (v ee ). set the current limit to 300ma and power up the board. 12) adjust r3 until the desired modulation swing is achieved. 13) adjust r5 until the desired bias voltage is achieved. 14) adjust r1 until the desired pulse width is achieved (if pwc is enabled, see step 5). 15) if desired, place a shunt on jp4 (plrt) to invert the output data polarity. _______________________________________ adjustments and control descriptions component name function jp1 pwc this jumper enables/disables the pulse-width-control circuitry. place a shunt on the top two pins to disable the pwc circuitry. place a shunt on the bottom two pins to enable the pwc circuitry. jp3 modset place a jumper on the right-hand side of this jumper to connect the r modset potentiometer to the max3941. place a jumper on the left-hand side of this jumper to connect the modset pin to the smb connector for ac testing. jp4 plrt enables/disables the polarity inversion function. shunt to invert the polarity of the output data. shunting this jumper shorts the plrt pin to v ee . leave open for normal operation. jp5 biasset place a jumper on the left-hand side of this jumper to connect the r biasset potentiometer to the max3941. place a jumper on the right-hand side of this jumper to connect the biasset pin to the smb connector for ac testing. jp6 moden enables/disables modulation output. shunt to disable switching of the data output. when shunted, the output goes to the absorbtive (logic 0) state. remove shunt to enable modulation. jp7 rten enables/disables data retiming. shunt to enable data retiming. remove shunt for direct data transmission. r1 r pwc adjusts the eam pulse width. turn the potentiometer screw counter-clockwise to increase the logic 1 width. r3 r modset adjusts the eam modulation current. turn the potentiometer screw clockwise to increase the modulation amplitude (decrease the resistance of modset to gnd). r5 r biasset adjusts the eam bias current. turn the potentiometer screw clockwise to increase bias current (decrease the resistance from biasset to gnd).
