2. Abstract המעבדה למערכות ספרתיות מהירות High speed digital systems laboratory 2 In this project we designed an evaluation board for the NBSG86A chip, which is a 8Ghz differential smart gate with output select, of “On Semiconductor” company, and after designing it, we used it to evaluate the chip’s performance, by running some tests on it. The high light in that board design, was dealing with high frequency.

3. System description המעבדה למערכות ספרתיות מהירות High speed digital systems laboratory 3 The board is built of a 10 mil thickness duroid 5880 board, on which the microstrip transmission lines are printed, and to which the NBSG86A digital chip and the RF connectors are soldered. While testing the chip, we used the the HP8133A signal generator to create the chip’s input signals, and the HP83480A sampling scop, to measure the output signals.
