11.2 Monitoring the Signal Path

The PGA450-Q1 device has two useful test modes that allow users to quickly observe the echo signal as an amplified analog signal or from a DAC output which converts a digitally filtered echo signal. In the Evaluation tab, quick-access buttons Amplifier Output (unfiltered) and Datapath Output (filtered) are available. The signal is viewable on the DACO pin. Only one mode can be selected at a time. See Figure 16 and Figure 17 for the captured waveforms.
