Texas Instruments TLV3801EVM Comparator Evaluation Module (EVM)

Texas Instruments TLV3801EVM Comparator Evaluation Module (EVM) is designed to evaluate the high-speed TLV3801 comparator. The TLV3801EVM has layout options intended to make it simple to evaluate timing performance with different measurement tools. The output of the Texas Instruments TLV3801 is designed for low-voltage differential signals (LVDS) that provide high-speed signals to interconnect devices such as FPGAs with minimal power dissipation.

Features

  • Evaluate comparator performance with less than 230ps propagation delay
  • Ability to measure outputs with multiple measurement methods (SMA, active probe)

Required Equipment

  • SMA cables/adapters
    • All sensed input voltages and both output signals must have matched cable lengths
      • IN+SENSE, IN-SENSE (only if AC signal), OUT+, and OUT-
    • All other signals can use non-matched cable lengths
  • Dual-channel power supply
  • High-speed functional generator with fast rise/fall time recommended (≤ 500ps)
  • High-speed oscilloscope with 50Ω terminations
