DBK16 Board Layout
AC Coupling, DC Coupling, and Low-Pass Filter Options
Headers on the board accommodate the coupling and low-pass filter options and the output channel
selection (see above figure). Resistors can be removed to lower filter gain from ×2 to ×1. A filter
frequency determining resistor network can be inserted into an IC socket.
The AC or DC coupling choice (on each channel) is set by the presence or absence of a shunt jumper on
a two-pin header. If the shunt jumper is in place, the coupling is DC. If the shunt jumper is absent, the
coupling is AC.
JP3 is used to configure the upper channel’s coupling; JP2 is used to configure the lower
channel.
The choice of using or bypassing the low-pass filter (for each channel) is made by the orientation of
shunt jumpers on a 2×2-pin header. When the shunt jumpers are oriented in the same way as the “bypass”
symbol (horizontal, parallel with labels on card), the filter is bypassed. When the shunt jumpers are
oriented in the same way as the “filter” symbol (vertical), the filter is in the signal path.
JP4 is used to
configure the upper channel; JP5 is used to configure the lower channel.

The corner frequency of the low-pass filters is determined by
three resistor values in each filter circuit. Located in the center
of the card, the
lower channel resistors are R17-R18-R19 ; and
the upper channel resistors are R5-R6-R7 . These resistor
locations are arranged to allow the use of an 8-position DIP
network (as a convenient means of changing all 6 resistors at
once). The machined-pin socket allows you to insert
individual resistors (should the two filter sections have
different corner frequencies). The table to the right lists
common frequencies, nominal resistance values, and Bourns
part numbers.

Note:
Due to settling time, the filter should not be enabled during the DBK16 setup.
DBK16’s active low-pass filters have an inherent gain of ×2. You must factor this gain
into your setup calculations. To change the gain to ×1, remove the following 10 K
Ω
resistors: R44 for the upper channel, R46 for the lower channel.
Reference Note: Methods of calibrating DBK16 are discussed in the calibration section.
