DS90LVRA2: What are the maximum measured speeds on single-ended output?

Part Number: DS90LVRA2

Tool/software:

Hi again HSDC team,

I'm using your DS90LVRA2EVM, and I have a 120 MHz differential clock. After soldering directly to to the P/N pairs of my signal, I am only getting a much slower single-ended output at 1.8V setting.
Is there any other measured information from TI that says this can convert 120 MHz signals? Maybe I am using the EVM wrong or my hardware connections may be incorrect?

I have the following setup:

  1. DC power supply able to supply 2A max, and set at 1.8V
    1. P2 (VCC)
    2. P3 (GND)
  2. Secondary DC power supply to power my main circuit that requires the differential to LVCMOS translation
  3. 500 MHz oscilloscope
  4. Shielded 3 GHz SMA connectors
    1. I split one SMA connector in half and soldered each exposed half to either half of the differential pair
    2. I used the second SMA cabled to connect to the SMA-BNC adapter, which is then connected to the scope
  5. SMA-to-BNC connector for scope

Zoomed in to maximize the full resolution of the scope.

Michael Ly
