NB7L216 Evaluation Board
User's Manual

Description

This document describes the NB7L216 evaluation board

and the appropriate lab test setups. It should be used in
conjunction with the NB7L216 data sheet which contains full
technical details on the device specifications and operation.

The evaluation board is designed to facilitate a quick

evaluation of the NB7L216 GigaComm

t

 High Gain

Differential Receiver/Driver.

Board Lay

up

The evaluation board is implemented in two layers and

provides a high bandwidth 50 

W

 controlled impedance

environment for higher performance. First layer or primary
trace layer is 5 mils thick Rogers RO6002 material, which
is engineered to have equal electrical length on all signal
traces from NB7L216 device to the sense output. The second
layer is 32 mils thick copper ground plane. For standard lab
setup and test, a split (dual) power supply is required
enabling the 50 ohm impedance in the scope to be used as
termination of the ECL signals (V

TT 

= V

CC

 – 2.0 V, in split

power supply setup, V

 is the system ground).

What measurements can you expect to make?

With this evaluation board, the following measurements

could be performed in single

ended

 or differential modes

of operation:

Jitter

Output Skew

Gain/Return Loss

Eye Pattern Generation

Frequency Performance

Output Rise and Fall Time

V

CMR
