This datasheet provides detailed information on the MAX3891 2.5Gbps, 16:1 serializer.
The MAX3891 Evaluation Kit is a fully assembled surface‑mount board that lets you evaluate the MAX3891 2.5 Gbps, 16:1 serializer with clock synthesis and low‑voltage PECL inputs. The kit runs from a single +3.3 V supply and includes all required connectors, terminations, and jumpers for configuring reference clock frequencies and loopback testing.
The document describes power‑supply routing, jumper settings, component placement, and board‑layout considerations. It also provides a quick‑start procedure, detailed schematic, and mechanical drawings to help users connect the kit to standard 50 Ω test equipment and verify operation.
