AD8332-EVALZ: Dual VGA, Ultralow Noise Preamplifier, and Programmable RIN Evaluation Board Data Sheet PDF

Dual VGA, Ultralow Noise Preamplifier, and
Programmable RIN Evaluation Board
AD8332-EVALZ
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8332-EVALZ is a platform for the test and evaluation of
the AD8332 variable gain amplifier (VGA). The board is shipped
assembled and tested, and users only need to connect the signal
and VGAIN sources to a single 5 V power supply. Figure 1 is a
photograph of the component side of the board, and Figure 2 is
the schematic.
For reference, Table 1 lists the common input impedance values
and corresponding adjustments. The board is designed for
0603-size, surface-mount components.

SMA connectors, S2, S3, S6, and S7, are provided for access to
the LNA outputs or the VGA inputs. If the LNA is used alone,
0.1 μF coupling capacitors can be installed at locations C5, C9,
C23, and C24. Resistors of 68 Ω to 100 Ω can be required if the
load capacitances, as seen by the LNA outputs, are larger than
approximately 10 pF.
03635-001
A resistor can be inserted at RCLMP if output clamping
is desired. The peak-to-peak clamping level is adjusted by
installing one of the standard 1% resistor values listed in the
AD8332 data sheet.

USER-SUPPLIED OPTIONAL COMPONENTS
The board is built and tested using the components shown in
black in Figure 2. Provisions are made for optional components
(shown in gray) that can be installed for testing at the user’s
discretion. The default LNA input impedance is 50 Ω to match
various signal generators and network analyzers. Input impedances
up to 6 kΩ are realized by changing values of RFBx and CSHx.
Consult the AD8332 data sheet for more details on this circuit
feature.
A high frequency differential probe connected to the 2-pin
headers VOx is the preferred method to observe a waveform
at the VGA output. A typical setup is shown in Figure 3. Singleended loads can be connected directly via the board edge SMA
connectors. Note that the AD8332 output amplifier is buffered with
237 Ω resistors; therefore, be sure to compensate for attenuation if
low impedances are connected to the output SMAs.
MEASUREMENT SETUP
The basic board connections for measuring bandwidth are
shown in Figure 3. A 5 V, 100 mA (minimum) power supply is
required, and a low noise voltage reference supply is required
for VGAIN.
