Abstract: This guide will explain the numbering system HF/Fiber uses for application notes, design notes, technical articles and reference designs. Fiber/HF Communications notes have been assigned alphanumeric numbers that distinguish the subject matter contained in each note. The first four letters of each number defines the category of the note, according to the following designation: HFAN — Application Note HFDN — Design Note HFTA — Technical Article HFRD — Reference Design The application notes (HFAN) normally relate to the use of more that one group of parts and are not Maxim-part-specific. Numeric assignment is given based on the following categorization of subject matter: HFAN 1 High Speed Digital Interfaces HFAN 2 Transmitter Interfacing HFAN 3 Receiver Interfacing HFAN 4 Jitter HFAN 4.5 Measuring Jitter HFAN 5 High-Speed Measurements HFAN 6 High-Speed Signal Integrity HFAN 7 HF Board Design HFAN 8 Mechanical Assembly and Thermal Issues HFAN 9 System The design notes (HFDN) are related to a specific Maxim part (or family). Numbers are assigned consecutively as the notes are generated. The technical article notes (HFTA) cover other general technical areas and are assigned consecutive numbers. The reference design notes (HFRD) cover the use of multiple parts, assembled into a complete functional design (PCB) that offers a solution to a particular design need. Numbers are assigned consecutively as the notes are generated. 我们期待您的反馈！ 喜欢？不喜欢？有待改善？或为我们提供建议？请与我们联系 — 我们将根据您的意见或建议改善我们的工作。 网页评价或提供建议 自动更新 需要自动接收最新发布的应用笔记吗？请订阅EE-Mail™ (English only)。   下载，PDF格式 (20kB)  AN1764, AN 1764, APP1764, Appnote1764, Appnote 1764
