NB3M8T3910G Evaluation

Board User's Manual

Introduction

The NB3M8T3910GEVB is a custom evaluation board

developed by ON Semiconductor for the NB3M8T3910G.
This evaluation board was designed to provide a flexible and
convenient platform to quickly evaluate, characterize and
verify the operation of the NB3M8T3910G.

This evaluation board manual contains:

Information on the NB3M8T3910G Evaluation Board

Assembly Instructions

Test and Measurement Setup Procedures

Bill of Materials

This manual should be used in conjunction with the device

datasheet 

NB3M8T3910/D

 which contains full technical

details on the device specifications and operation.

 INTRODUCTION

The NB3M8T3910G has two banks of 5 differential

outputs. Each output bank can be independently selected as
LVPECL, LVDS or HCSL outputs by the SMODEAx/Bx
select pins.

This evaluation board, NB3M8T3910GEVB, has been

configured to evaluate each output type.

Of the ten possible differential outputs, three are dedicated

as LVPECL, three are dedicated as LVDS and four are
dedicated as HCSL (labeled on board).

The Single-Ended LVCMOS Output, REFOUT, is

controlled by the Synchronous OE_SE pin. For Clock
frequencies above 250 MHz, the REFOUT line should be
disabled.

Each dedicated output pair on the board is configured per
