Evaluation Board

Evaluation boards are available for a nominal charge that

demonstrate the basic operation of the SDI/SDV/SDH de-

vices. The evaluation boards can be ordered through Nation-

al’s Distributors. Supplies are limited, please check for cur-

rent availability.

The SD014EVK evaluation kit for the CLC014, Adaptive

Cable Equalizer for High-Speed Data Recovery, provides an

operating environment in which the cable equalizer can be

evaluated by system / hardware designers. The evaluation

board has all the needed circuitry and connectors for easy

connection and checkout of the device circuit options as

discussed in the CLC014 datasheet. A schematic, parts list

and pictorial drawing are provided with the board.

PCB LAYOUT

The CLC014 requires proper high-speed layout techniques

to obtain best results. A few recommended layout rules to

follow for best results when using the CLC014 Adaptive

Cable Equalizer are:

Use a ground plane.

Decouple power pins with 0.01 µF capacitors placed

≤ 0.1” (3mm) from the power pins.

Design transmission lines to the inputs and outputs.

Route outputs away from inputs.

Remove ground plane

≥ 0.025” (0.06mm) from the input

and output pads.
