Settings 

LK1 

This link is used to select the analog signal path. 
In Position A, the analog signal is buffered via U2, a unity gain buffer.  
In Position B, the analog signal is buffered via U3, a unity gain buffer. 
In Position C, the analog signal bypasses U2 and U3. 

LK2 

This link is used to select the source of the analog input signal to the 

AD7091

In Position A, the analog signal is sourced via the U2 op amp.  
In Position B, the analog signal is sourced via the U3 op amp.  
In Position C, the analog signal bypasses U2 and U3. 

Termination 

LK3 

Inserted 

Adds a 51 Ω termination resistor to GND at VIN.  
Inserted—51 Ω termination on the VIN input. 
Not inserted—no 51 Ω termination on the VIN input. 

LK4 

Inserted 

Adds a 51 Ω termination resistor to GND at BIPOLAR_IN.

Not inserted—no 51 Ω termination on the BIPOLAR_IN input. 

Power 
Supplies 

LK5 

This link is used to select the reference source for the bias up circuitry. 
In Position A, the REF signal is sourced via the on-board reference chip. 
In Position B, the REF signal is sourced via VDD. 

LK6 

This link is used to select the source of the VDD supply line for the evaluation board 

 

 

In Position A, the VDD supply is sourced from the on-board 3.3 V supply. 

 

 

In Position B, the VDD supply is sourced from the external J702 connector. 

LK800 

This link is used to select the source of the +OP_AMP supply line for the on-board amplifiers. 

 

 

In Position A, the +OP_AMP supply is sourced from the on-board supply. 

 

 

In Position B, the +OP_AMP supply is sourced from the external J800 connector. 

LK801 

This link is used to select the source of the −OP_AMP supply line for the on-board amplifiers. 

 

 

In Position A, the −OP_AMP supply is sourced from the on-board supply. 

 

 

In Position B, the −OP_AMP supply is sourced from the external J800 connector. 

 

SOCKETS/CONNECTORS 

The connectors and sockets on the 

EVAL-AD7091SDZ

 are 

outlined in Table 3. 
The default interface to this evaluation board is via the 120-way 
connector, which connects the 

EVAL-AD7091SDZ

 to the 

EVAL-

SDP-CB1Z

 board. 

TEST POINTS 

There are numerous test points on the 

EVAL-AD7091SDZ

 

board. These test points enable the user to have easy access to 
the signals from the evaluation board for probing, evaluation, 
and debugging. 
It is also possible to access the 

AD7091

 via the test points to 

operate the 

EVAL-AD7091SDZ

 in standalone mode without the 

need for the 

EVAL-SDP-CB1Z

 board.
