HCSL Output Measurement
HCSL outputs are typically terminated with 50-
W
to
ground. Measuring HCSL outputs can be easily
accomplished by:
NB3N1200K (HCSL Outputs) − 50-
W
Oscilloscope Head
With R
P
removed from board, connect the HCSL outputs
through the SMA connectors to the 50-
W
internal impedance
of the oscilloscope sampling head.
NB3N1200K (HCSL Outputs) − Use Hi-Z Probe
With R
P
installed, use a high-impedance probe on the
output’s metal trace. Holes for headers to connect to Hi-Z
probes are available, but the header pins are not installed.
•
Single-ended Hi-Z probes or,
•
Differential Hi-Z probe; (see layout below)
NB3W1200L (Push-Pull Outputs) − Use Hi-Z Probe
Rp is not installed
•
A 0-
W
series resistor is installed between the end of the
transmission line and the SMA connector. This resistor
can be removed, if needed, to eliminate any SMA
impedance/stub when using Hi-Z probes.
•
As a feature, an optional component can be installed on
each output, ie. additional capacitance loading etc.
The following figures describe the boards’ output
features:

Misc. Pins
FB_OUT & FB_OUT# − External Termination
of Feedback Pins
FB_OUT & FB_OUT# have convenient “test point
anvils” to monitor these pins with Hi-Z probe.
NB3N1200K (HCSL):
Since the FB_OUT & FB_OUT# pins do not drive
transmission lines (no SMAs), the board layout has these
pins loaded/terminated at the DUT per datasheet; 83-
W
to
GND is installed for the 100-
W
board.
NB3W1200L (Push-Pull):
FB_OUT & FB_OUT# resistors are not installed.
IREF Pin
NB3N1200K (HCSL):
The R
REF
resistor (R107) to GND for the HCSL output
part device.
R
REF
= 475-
W
is installed for the 100-
W
board.
NB3W1200L (Push-Pull)
R
REF
is not installed for the NB3W1200L device.
