Quick Start
1 Connect a +1.8V power supply to J1 VCC . Connect the power supply ground to J2.
2 Connect DC-blocking capacitors or bias T networks to IN+ and IN- inputs. Then connect a differential signal from 400mVP-P to 1600mVP-P to the inputs using cables. If not using DC-blocking capacitors, then the high level for each input signal must be VCC.

Warning The SMA connectors are directly connected to the chip’s inputs and outputs. To avoid damage to laboratory equipment or device, always use DC-blocking capacitors or bias T networks.
3 Connect DC-blocking capacitors or bias T networks to OUT+ and OUT- outputs. Then connect signals from the DC-blocking capacitors to an oscilloscope with input terminations.
4 At the signal source, start with a short, simple pattern such as a 27 - 1 PRBS. The data rate can be 1Gbps to 6.4Gbps.
5 Evaluation After the EV kit has been initially checked out, evaluation can begin with a FR4 PC board. Start with a board length of 20in and progress to longer lengths. For data rates of 3.2Gbps and slower, the part equalizes board lengths up to 40in. For data rates of 6.4Gbps and slower, the part equalizes board lengths up to 30in. When connecting the equalizer with the board, keep the cables from the board to the equalizer as short as possible.
