NB4L16MMNEVB

The NB4L16MMNEVB is an evaluation board designed to facilitate a quick evaluation of NB4L16M differential receiver/driver/translator. The NB4L16M is designed to function as a high speed receiver/driver/translator device with CML output for use in high speed signal amplification and backplane interface applications. This board is implemented in two layers and provides a high bandwidth 50ohm controlled impedance environment for higher performance. The first layer or primary trace layer is 5mils thick Rogers RO6002 material, which is engineered to have equal electrical length on all signal traces from the NB4L16M device to the sense output. The second layer is 32mils thick copper ground plane.

• Maximum input clock frequency is greater than 3.5GHz typical
• Maximum input data frequency is greater than 5Gb/s typical
• 220ps typical propagation delay
• 65ps typical rise and fall times
• CML output with operating range of VCC = 2.375V to 3.8V with VEE = 0V
• CML output level (400mV peak to peak output) differential output only
• 50ohm internal input and output termination resistors
• Functionally compatible with existing 2.5V/3.3V LVEL, LVEP, EP, and SG devices
