EVAL BOARD USER’S MANUAL
Description
applications. Each 2 x 2 crosspoint switch can fan−out
and/or multiplex up to 3.2 Gb/s data and 2.7 GHz clock
signals.
Internally terminated differential CML inputs accept
AC−coupled LVPECL (Positive ECL) or direct coupled
CML signals. By providing internal 50 W input and output
termination resistor, the need for external components is
eliminated and interface reflections are minimized.
Differential 16 mA CML outputs provide matching internal
50 W terminations, and 400 mV output swings when
externally terminated, 50 W to VCC.
Single−ended LVCMOS/LVTTL SEL inputs control the
routing of the signals through the crosspoint switch which
makes this device configurable as 1:2 fan−out, repeater or
2 x 2 crosspoint switch. The device is housed in a low profile
5 x 5 mm 32−pin QFN package.
The NB4N840M Evaluation Board was designed to
provide a flexible and convenient platform to quickly
evaluate, characterize and verify the performance and
operation of the NB4N840M dual 2 x 2 Crosspoint Switch.
This user’s manual provides detailed information on the
board’s contents, layout and use. The manual should be used
in conjunction with the NB4N840M data sheet which
contains full technical details on device specifications and
operation.
The NB4N840M is a high−bandwidth fully differential
dual 2 x 2 crosspoint switch with CML inputs/outputs that
is suitable for applications such as SDH/SONET DWDM
and high speed switching. Fully differential design
techniques are used to minimize jitter accumulation,
crosstalk, and signal skew, which make this device ideal for
loop−through and protection channel switching

2. Monitoring CML Outputs with High−Impedance
Oscilloscope Inputs
The CML outputs, QAn and QBn, must be AC−coupled
to a 50 W termination (100 W differential) load. On−board
100−W differential terminations are provided to reduce
noise on outputs that are not used. Connect the QAn/QBn
CML outputs to the oscilloscope with equally matched
cables.
a. Leave the coupling capacitors in series with the
outputs.
b. Make sure the differential load resistors are on all the
outputs (R9–R12).
1. Monitoring One or More CML Outputs with 50 W
Oscilloscope Inputs
Table 4. Output Connectors
a. Leave the coupling capacitors in series with the
outputs.
b. Remove the associated 100 W differential load
resistors from the evaluation board on the outputs
(R9–R12).
c. It is important to remove the 100 W resistor on the
output monitored, otherwise the load impedance will
not match the characteristic impedance of the line
and the resulting reflections will cause a degradation
in the output signal quality.
d. If you are observing a single−ended output, balance
the other half with a 50 W termination to ground
(through the AC−coupling capacitor).
