It outlines the best option for the initial user experience to start up and running quickly. The expected time to be up and running is about ten minutes. REQUIRED EQUIPMENT Besides the AD8273/AD8277/AD8279 evaluation board, a minimum of eight other items are required (see Figure 2). Figure 3. The AD8273/AD8277/AD8279 Evaluation Board with the Basic Power Connections 2. For a single input signal source, the AD8273/AD8277/ AD8279 evaluation board performs best in the noninverting mode of operation. No jumper changes are required for this mode. Connect the signal source to the BNC connector designated J24, as shown in Figure 4. 12545-002 * A signal source such as an arbitrary waveform generator A single or dual output power supply An oscilloscope Two cables, typically BNC to BNC, to connect the test equipment to the AD8273/AD8277/AD8279 evaluation board Three clip leads to connect the power supply to the AD8273/AD8277/AD8279 evaluation board 12545-003 * * * * 12545-004 Figure 2. An Example of the Minimal Requirements for Quick Start Operation INITIAL CONFIGURATION To begin the initial board configuration, use the following steps: 1. With the power supply off, connect the power supply leads to the header, located at the top of the board (see Figure 3). Figure 4. The AD8273/AD8277/AD8279 Evaluation Board with the Source Signal Connected Rev. A | Page 3 of 7 UG-744 Lastly, connect a BNC to BNC cable to the oscilloscope and Connector J27. This step completes the connections for using Channel 1 of the AD8273/AD8277/AD8279 (see Figure 5). 12545-006 3. AD8273-EVALZ/AD8277-EVALZ/AD8279-EVALZ User Guide 12545-005 Figure 6. The Completed Setup 4. Enable the signal source. For the AD8277, a 2 V p-p sine wave appears on the output of the oscilloscope. For the AD8273 and AD8279, a 1 V p-p sine wave appears on the output of the oscilloscope. Figure 5. Completed Connections for Quick Start Usage POWER UP With the initial configuration complete, use the following steps to power up the AD8273/AD8277/AD8279 evaluation board: 3. Set the power supply to either 5.0 V or +5.0 V. Turn on the supply. The AD8273/AD8277/AD8279 are very low in quiescent current; as a result, some power supplies may not report any current load. Configure the signal source to output a 1 kHz sine wave at 2 V p-p. (Note that if the signal source is relative to a 50 impedance, set the amplitude to 1 V p-p.) 12545-007 1. 2. Figure 7.
