TSEV8388BG : DEVICE EVALUATION BOARD
For complete specification, see separate TSEV8388BG document.
GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The TSEV8388BG Evaluation Board (CEB) is a board which has been designed in order to facilitate the evaluation and the characterization of
the TS8388BG device up to its 1.8 GHz full power bandwidth at up to 1 Gsps in the military temperature range.
The high speed of the TS8388BG requires careful attention to circuit design and layout to achieve optimal performance.
This four metal layer board with internal ground plane has the adequate functions in order to allow a quick and simple evaluation of the
TS8388BG ADC performances over the temperature range.
The TSEV8388BG Evaluation Board is very straightforward as it only implements the TS8388BG ADC, SMA connectors for input / output
accesses and a 2.54 mm pitch connector compatible with HP16500C high frequency probes.
The board also implements a de–embedding fixture in order to facilitate the evaluation of the high frequency insertion loss of the input microstrip
lines, and a die junction temperature measurement setting.
The board is constituted by a sandwich of two dielectric layers, featuring low insertion loss and enhanced thermal characteristics for operation in
the high frequency domain and extended temperature range.
The board dimensions are 130 mm x 130 mm.
The board set comes fully assembled and tested, with the TS8388BG and its heatsink installed.
