MAX3970 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX3970 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
chip-on-board electrical demonstration kit that provides
easy evaluation of the MAX3970 10.3Gbps, +3.3V tran-
simpedance amplifier. Note that the MAX3970 EV kit
provides an electrical interface to the IC, which is simi-
lar to, but not exactly the same as, a photodiode. The
circuit used tends to increase bandwidth and jitter
beyond what is expected for typical photodiode inputs.
