GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

This user guide describes the 

AD8338

 evaluation board and 

discusses common configurations. The design of this board 
(

AD8338-EVALZ

) emphasizes simplicity and ease of use,  

which is evident in the minimalist approach to connector 
implementation.  

The 

AD8338

 data sheet, available at 

www.analog.com

, covers 

the details for the operation of the 

AD8338

. The 

AD8338 

data 

sheet should be consulted in conjunction with

 

this user guide. 

The data sheet not only assists designers in their end 
applications but also provides important information to 
understand the operation of the 

AD8338

 evaluation board, 

especially its initial configuration and power up.
