MAX1124 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX1124 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that contains all the compo-
nents for evaluating the MAX1121 (8-bit, 250Msps),
MAX1122 (10-bit, 170Msps), MAX1123 (10-bit,
210Msps), and MAX1124 (10-bit, 250Msps) analog-to-
digital converters (ADCs). The MAX1121鈥揗AX1124
accept differential analog input signals; however, the
EV kit generates these signals from a user-provided
single-ended signal source. The digital output pro-
duced by the ADCs can be easily captured with a user-
provided high-speed logic analyzer or data-acquisition
system. The EV kit operates from 1.8V and 3.3V power
supplies. It includes circuitry that generates a differen-
tial clock signal from a user-provided AC signal. The EV
kit comes with the MAX1124 installed. Contact the fac-
tory for free samples of the pin-compatible MAX1121/
MAX1122/MAX1123 to evaluate these parts.
