GENERAL DESCRIPTION ____________________________________________________________
The ONET8501P-EV evaluation board is designed
for easy quick-test as well as comprehensive
evaluation of the ONET8501P 11.3Gbps rate-
selectable limiting amplifier.
This fully assembled and factory tested evaluation
board allows complete validation of all device
functions.
For optimum performance, the board is equipped
with 50
Ω
SMA connectors and well-controlled 50
Ω
impedance microstrip transmission lines.
In order to account for measurement inaccuracies
caused by inevitable line loss, calibration lines are
provided, consisting of the same type of SMA
connectors and microstrip transmission line layout.
Using the GUI, the bandwidth, output amplitude,
output pre-emphasis, input threshold voltage (slice
level) and the loss of signal assert level can be
adjusted.
