Note 2:
The input is high impedance and
the output is low impedance.
Note 3:
The input and output
are high impedance.
Initial Setup Procedure:
The following is an initial set-up guide to the function of the board’s jum pers, switches and connectors (see Figure 4).
A. D ual PG A (one D C861)
1. Connect a DC861 board as shown in Figure 5.
(J2-Dual, J6-DUAL, SW 1-D-O N , SW 2-O FF, SW 3-EN BL).
2. Set the power supply to ±5V and turn it on.
3. Turn on the sinewave generator and set it to a 1Vp-p, 1kH z sinewave
(refer to Tables 1 or 2 for the nominal PG A A and B input impedance).
4. O n power up the 4-digit LED display shows the LTC6912 gain settings in hex
(The gain setting shown on power up is the last stored setting).
H olding the SELECT sw for more than three seconds changes the display to show decimal digits
The correspondence between a hex number and a PG A setting is shown on Table 3.
(See Figure 6 for display examples in hex and decimal digits).
6. Use the SELECT and UP and DO W N switches to select the gain and press the SEN D switch to send the data to
the LTC6912 (for a quick board test, set the PG A A and B gain to one (0dB) and the oscilloscope channels #1
and #2 connected to O UT A and O UT B respectively should show a 1Vp-p, 1kH z sinewave (1Vp-p input times
one).
