Overview
The NB6L14MMNGEVB is an evaluation board developed by onsemi for their high-performance devices packaged in a 16-pin QFN (Quad Flat No-Lead) package. This board is designed to provide a flexible and convenient platform for quickly evaluating, characterizing, and verifying the operation of various onsemi products. The evaluation board is particularly suited for the NB6L14M device, a clock fanout buffer with a 1:4 fanout ratio.
The board features a high-bandwidth, 50 Ω controlled impedance environment, implemented in four layers. It includes detailed assembly instructions, appropriate lab setup guidelines, and a comprehensive bill of materials. Users can order the board with the device already installed from the onsemi website.
