Description
The TSEV83102G0B Evaluation Board (EB) is a prototype board which has been
designed in order to facilitate the evaluation and the characterization of the
TS83102G0B device (in CBGA152) up to its 3 GHz full power bandwidth at up to 2 Gsps
in the extended temperature range.
The high speed of the TS83102G0B requires careful attention to circuit design and lay-
out to achieve optimal performance. This four metal layer board with an internal ground
plane has the functions that allow a quick and simple evaluation of the TS83102G0B
ADC performances over the temperature range.
The TS83102G0B Evaluation Board (EB) is very straightforward as it only implements
the TS83102G0B ADC device, SMA connectors for input/output accesses and a
2.54 mm pitch connector compatible with high speed acquisition system high frequency
probes.
The board has been designed to be fully compatible with Atmel’s DMUX evaluation
board (TSEV81102G0).
The board also implements a de-embedding fixture in order to facilitate the evaluation of
the high frequency insertion loss of the input microstrip lines.
The board is constructed like a sandwich of two dielectric layers, featuring low insertion
loss and enhanced thermal characteristics for operation in the high frequency domain
and extended temperature range.
The board dimensions are 120 mm x 150 mm.
The board set comes fully assembled and tested, with the TS83102G0B installed and
with a heatsink.
