The MAX3667 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled, surface-mount demonstration board that provides easy optical evaluation of the MAX3667.
This document provides a Quick Start guide for the Maxim Integrated MAX3667 Evaluation Kit (EV KIT). The kit is an assembled, surface-mount demonstration board configured for 3.3V operation that allows for easy optical evaluation of the MAX3667 device.
The guide details initial setup steps including configuring solder bridges and installing shunts to enable or disable specific functions like APC. It also outlines the procedure for attaching laser diodes and monitors, powering the board, and adjusting bias and modulation currents using on-board potentiometers.
The board requires a +3.3V power source connected at the 3.3V pin and GND pin.
The current limit must be set to a maximum of 300mA.
Shunting pins 1 and 2 disables the part, while shunting pins 2 and 3 enables it.
