QUICK START OPERATION
OVERVIEW
This section outlines the most basic configuration of the
evaluation board to test basic functionality of the
device. For first time users, quick start operation is the best
option to begin immediately using the evaluation board.
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
evaluation board, there are a
minimum of nine other components required (see Figure 2):
•
A signal source, such as an arbitrary waveform generator.
•
A power supply.
•
An oscilloscope with probes and a bandwidth of at least
20 MHz.
•
A banana plug to banana plug cable.
•
A BNC male to dual banana jack female adapter.
•
At least four banana to grabber cables to connect the power
supply and the input signal to the
board.

Evaluation Board
2.
Connect the signal source to +VIN and −VIN using the
combination of the BNC male to dual banana jack female
adapter and the banana to grabber cables. Ensure that there
is a common ground between the signal generator and the
power supply through the banana to banana cable.
