Equalizer. Providing power to the board through an external Evaluation Kit Includes: supply The eight high speed differential I/O EBL4300CI-EVALZ evaluation board The impedance select function Power cable The variable Detection Threshold Key Features Controling the equalizer boost via Control Pins QLx4300-S45 series IC QLx4300-S45 Evaluation Board Single 5V external power supply The QLx4300-S45 Evaluation Board is a 4-layer, On-board regulators provide all voltages required for 4(w)x5.6(h)x0.059(t) in dimension, and fabricated MCU and IC operation with (Allied-Signal) FR-408 dielectric material. 100 differential signal traces are laid out with 0.0062 width On-board DC/DC converter that provides the 1.2V and 0.0058 spacing. 50 single-ended traces are 0.009 supply to the IC wide. Figure 1 shows the top view of the board. Optional on-board boost selection for each channel via two sets of headers Adjustable Detection Threshold for quiescent modes 8 sets of SMA connectors for high speed signals input and output FIGURE 1. QLx4300-S45 EVALUATION BOARD PCB OUTLINE Power Supply Power can be supplied to the board by using an external power supply. On board voltage regulators supply the appropriate 1.2V to the QLx4300-S45 IC. AN1515 Rev 0.00 Page 2 of 10 January 18, 2010
