The input connections for DEM-FDA-RUN-EVM depend on several key factors:
- Single-ended or differential input signal
- Configuration and use of multiple feedback filter pads (MFB)
- Setting the desired gain or attenuation
The default configuration of the EVM
is to not use the MFB filter configuration, but be in a base FDA configuration with
differential inputs. The default gain is 1V/V, also referred to as a buffer or
unity-gain setup.
Modifications:
- To change from differential to
single-ended inputs:
- Set termination resistor
(either R9 or R4) of the active input according to FDA datasheet
recommendations
- Set termination resistor
(either R9 or R4) of the inactive, unused input according to FDA
datasheet recommendations
- An FDA web calculator is
available for investigating single-ended input values.
- R9 and R4 will be
different values to account for terminating the unused input path
- To set up MFB Filter:
- Calculate your MFB filter
values through your preferred method
- Use R21, R20, R22, C6,
R6, R7, as the input and gain-setting passives for the MFB filter
- Use R3, C4, R18 &
R10, C7, R24 as the feedback path passives for the MFB filter
- Confirm values and
proceed with evaluation
- To change the gain-setting:
- Gain is set by RG and RF
resistors. For example, on DEM-FDA-RUN-EVM the
combination of R3 and R6, as well as the mirrored R10 and R7, set the
amplifier gain.
- For an FDA the
relationship is: Av (Gain) = RF / RG
- Please change RF and/or
RG to accommodate the desired gain or attenuation
