  • Product Details

    The DS3150DK is a small, self-contained evaluation kit for the DS3150 DS3/E3/STS-1 LIU. A soldered DS3150 and careful layout of the analog signal traces ensure maximum signal integrity. Jumpers on the board allow the user to configure the DS3150 in any mode. LEDs indicate VCC present, loss of signal, transmit driver failure, and PRBS sync. The board provides BNC connectors for the line-side transmit and receive differential pairs and a header for various system-side signals. On-board oscillators serve as local timing sources for DS3 and E3 operation. All jumpers, LEDs, and connectors are clearly labeled to make the board as easy as possible to use.
