MAX3669 Evaluation Kit
Quick Start
Electrical Setup (Default)
In the electrical configuration, an APC test circuit is
included to emulate a semiconductor laser with a monitor photodiode. Monitor diode current is provided by
Q1, which is controlled by an operational amplifier (U3).
The APC test circuit, consisting of U3 and Q1, applies
the simulated monitor diode current to the MAX3669’s
MD pin. The ratio of IBIAS / IMD is R24 / R23 = 100. To
ensure proper operation in the electrical configuration,
set up the evaluation board as follows:
1) Verify inductor L2 is not installed.
2) Remove the shunt from P1 to enable the output.
Note: When performing the following resistance
checks, manually set the ohmmeter to a high range to
avoid forward biasing the on-chip ESD protection
diodes.
3) Adjust R14, the MOD (RMODSET) potentiometer, for
10kΩ resistance between pins 2 and 3 (test point 5
and ground).
4) Adjust R15, the BIAS (RBIASMAX) potentiometer, for
10kΩ resistance between pins 2 and 3 (test point 4
and ground).
5) Adjust R16, the APC (RAPCSET) potentiometer, for
10kΩ resistance between pins 2 and 3 (test point 6
and ground).
6) Power up the board with a +3.3V supply.
7) Apply a differential input signal (max amplitude
≤800mV per side) to J1 and J2 (DATA+ and DATA-).
8) Attach a high-speed oscilloscope with 50Ω inputs
to J5.
9) Adjust RBIASMAX (R15) and RAPCSET (R16) until the
desired laser-bias current is achieved (refer to the
note in the Applications Information section of the
MAX3669 data sheet).
10) Adjust RMODSET (R14) until the desired laser-modulation current is achieved.
Note: See Adjustment and Control Descriptions.

Optical Setup
For optical operation, the electrical APC test circuit
must be disabled. For optical evaluation of the MAX3669,
configure the EV kit as described in Component
Modifications for Optical Configuration:
1) Remove the shunt from P1 to enable the output.
2) Connect a TO-style header laser and monitor diode
(Figure 1) as follows:
• Keeping the leads to the laser diode as short as
possible, connect the laser diode on the component side of the board between R20 and V CC
with the cathode connected to R20 and the
anode connected to VCC.
• Connect the monitor diode on the underside of the
the board with the anode connected to the
MAX3669’s MD pin and the cathode connected to
VCC.
Note: When performing resistance checks, manually
set the ohmmeter to a high range to avoid forward biasing the on-chip ESD protection diodes.
3) Adjust R14, the MOD (RMODSET) potentiometer, for
maximum resistance between pins 2 and 3 (test
point 5 and ground).
4) Adjust R15, the BIAS (RBIASMAX) potentiometer, for
maximum resistance between pins 2 and 3 (test
point 4 and ground).
5) Adjust R16, the APC (RAPCSET) potentiometer, for
desired optical power. (Refer to the Design
Procedure section of the MAX3669 data sheet.)
6) Power up the board with a +3.3V supply.
7) Apply a differential input signal (≤800mV per side)
to J1 and J2 (DATA+ and DATA-).
8) Attach the laser-diode output to an optical/electrical
converter.
9) Adjust R15 until LED D1 is no longer illuminated.
Laser power can be monitored at the laser diode
with an optical/electrical converter (refer to the note
in the Applications Information section of the
MAX3669 data sheet).
10) Adjust R14 until the desired optical amplitude is
achieved. Optical amplitude can be observed on an
oscilloscope connected to an optical/electrical converter.
