MAX4952AEVKIT+, Evaluation Kit (EV kit) provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX4952A dual-channel buffer. The EV kit contains four sections: an application circuit, characterization circuit and two calibration traces. The application circuit (Figure 1a) is designed to demonstrate the MAX4952A IC's use in redriving Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) signals. This section of the EV kit operates from an external +5V supply that is regulated by an on-board LDO to +3.3V, which powers the MAX4952A (U1) device
