Product Details

The MAX4889A evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX4889A PCI Express® (PCIe) Gen II 5.0Gbps passive switch. The MAX4889A is an octal single-pole/double-throw (8 x SPDT) ideal for switching four half lanes of PCIe data between four destinations. The MAX4889A EV kit is used for critical tests (i.e., eye diagrams and s-parameter measurements such as insertion loss, return loss, and off-isolation).

The MAX4889A EV kit PCB comes with a MAX4889AETO+ installed. The MAX4889AETO+ is available in a lead-free 3.5mm x 9.0mm, 42-pin TQFN package.
