AD8330 Evaluation Board
EVAL-AD8330EB
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
BASIC OPERATION
The EVAL-AD8330EB is an easy-to-use accessory that enables a
hands-on evaluation of the AD8330 variable gain amplifier
(VGA). It includes test pins for connections to all of the functional
device inputs. Figure 1 is a full size photograph of the board.
The input SMA connector IN is terminated with a 49.9 Ω
resistor (see Figure 2). For convenience, the board includes an
AD8131 high speed differential amplifier to convert a singleended signal source to the differential input of the AD8330. If
desired, the AD8131 can be removed and the AD8330 can be
driven at one of its inputs from a single-ended source.
The AD8330 output is observed at the SMA connectors OUT_HI
and OUT_LO or by using the 2-pin header OUT_HI/ OUT_LO
adjacent to the device.
03721-009
The AD8330 requires only a +5 V power supply; however, because
of the AD8131 buffer bipolar power supply requirements, ±5 V
supplies are required to power the board. The current required
for the board is approximately 40 mA from the +5 V supply and
10 mA from the −5 V supply.

The basic board connections for a typical measurement are
shown in Figure 3. To minimize circuit-loading effects, a low
capacitance FET probe is recommended for observing input or
output waveforms. Dual circuit headers IN_HI/LO and
OUT_HI/OUT_LO are provided for this purpose. The SMA
connectors OUT_HI and OUT_LO can also be used, but the
user may need to account for load capacitance effects.
EVAL-AD8330EB BOARD DESIGN
The EVAL-AD8330EB is a 4-layer design for maximum groundplane area. The evaluation board side silkscreen and wiring
patterns are shown in Figure 4 through Figure 9.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
