The evaluation board provides a JEDEC standard 20-lead SSOP pad layout, support for signal distribution, loopback, and loads referenced to VDDx or GNDx, as well as optimal bypass capacitance. Signal sources can be wired onto the board as well as brought onto the board through edge-mounted SMA connectors (sold separately) or terminal blocks for power connections. The board includes 200 mil header positions for compatibility with Tektronix active probes. SUPPORTED iCoupler MODELS ADuM1240ARSZ ADuM1241ARSZ ADuM1245ARSZ ADuM1246ARSZ The board follows best printed circuit board (PCB) design practices for 4-layer boards, including a full power and ground plane on each side of the isolation barrier. No other EMI or noise mitigation design features are included on this board. In cases of very high speed operation or when ultralow emissions are required, refer to the AN-1109 application note for additional board layout techniques. 12075-001 PHOTOGRAPH OF THE EVALUATION BOARD Figure 1.

CONNECTORS The PCB provides support for three types of interconnections: • • • SMA edge-mounted connectors Through-hole signal ground pairs Terminal blocks for power connections With these three options, both temporary and permanent connections to the board can easily be made. When coaxial connections are desired, SMA connector positions are available for the VDD1 and VDD2 power supplies, as well as all digital inputs and outputs. These SMA connector positions are left unpopulated so that the user can customize the connectors for a given application. Figure 2 shows examples of installed SMA connectors; these connectors were chosen because they are not only low profile and provide excellent mechanical connections to the PCB but also support 50 Ω coaxial cabling. Because most lab equipment is compatible with BNC connectors, adaptors may be required to use some on-board connectors. Power can be connected through the P1 and P2 terminal blocks or can be wired directly to the PCB via the P13 and P14 throughhole connectors. Each through-hole pair provides a power ground pair with the power on the Pin 1 hole. The pin spacing of each through-hole connector is 200 mil between centers. This matches the pin spacing required for Tektronix active scope probes. If a scope probe connection is desired, the header shown in Figure 2 can be soldered into the through-hole positions, and the signal pin can be trimmed to match the height requirements of a Tektronix active scope probe. POWER INPUT Each side of the ADuM1240ARSZ/ADuM1241ARSZ/ ADuM1245ARSZ/ADuM1246ARSZ iCoupler isolator requires an off-board power source. Each power source must be independent if common-mode voltages are to be applied across the isolation barrier. Sharing a single supply for both sides of the part across the isolation barrier does not harm the isolator, and it is useful for functional testing of the ADuM1240ARSZ/ ADuM1241ARSZ/ADuM1245ARSZ/ADuM1246ARSZ iCoupler isolators when common-mode voltages are not present. If commonmode voltages are to be applied across the isolation barrier, independent power supplies must be provided for each side of the isolator. A ground plane and a power plane are present on Layer 2 and Layer 3 of the PCB on each side of the isolation barrier. Power connects to VDD1 for Side 1 and connects to VDD2 for Side 2. The A and B power pins on each side cannot be powered separately. DATA I/O STRUCTURES Each data channel has a variety of structures to help configure, load, and monitor both the input and output. Figure 3 shows one of the datapaths from an external connection to the DUT pin. Each channel has similar connections. Starting at the external connection, the signal path is 1. 1) SCOPE PROBE 2. 2) SMA CONNECTOR 3. 5) SCOPE PROBE HEADER 3) TERMINAL BLOCK 4. 5. 4) SHORTING JUMPER Figure 2. Optional Components 12075-002 6) PADS TO CONNECT SMA 6. Rev. 0 | Page 3 of 8 A pad layout for a PCB board edge-mounted SMA connector. Two 0805 pads are provided where 100 Ω resistors to ground can be installed. The combined resistance is 50 Ω to provide a termination for a standard coaxial cable. A standard 0805 pad layout that allows the coaxial and termination structures to be connected to the rest of the signal path. A 0603 pad layout between the signal path and VDD1 or VDD2 can be used for installing a pull-up resistor. A populated 2-pin header provides a signal ground pair that can be used for clip leads or for shorting a channel to ground temporarily. There are groupings of three open through holes, consisting of a signal and two ground connections. These holes can be used for hardwiring signal wires into the PCB, installing a header to accept a Tektronix active probe, or installing a UG-663 8. power supply. Parallel bypass capacitors are installed near the ADuM1241ARSZ and consist of a 0.1 µF capacitor for VDD1 on the top side and bottom side and a 0.1 µF capacitor for VDD2 on the bottom side of the board. It is best to use the top side bypass positions if possible. 2-pin header to allow adjacent channels to temporarily be shorted together. A 0805 pad layout between the signal and ground where a load capacitor or resistor can be installed. Pads to the adjacent channels are provided to allow permanent connection of adjacent channels. Inputs can be fanned out to several channels, or inputs and outputs can be connected together to allow signals to loopback. The PCB also implements a distributed capacitive bypass on the PCB. This consists of power and ground planes closely spaced on the inner layers of the PCB. This minimizes noise and the transmission of EMI without using complex design features. Figure 2 shows many of the optional components installed, as well as how jumpers can be used to temporarily connect channels. This figure shows a signal connected to the first channel SMA and then fanned out to the top three channels and monitored by an active scope probe. HIGH VOLTAGE CAPABILITY This PCB is designed in adherence with 2500 V basic insulation practices. High voltage testing beyond 2500 V is not recommended. Appropriate care must be taken when using this evaluation board at high voltages, and the PCB should not be relied on for safety functions because it has not been high potential tested (also known as hipot tested or dielectric withstanding voltage tested) or certified for safety. BYPASS ON THE PCB Several positions and structures are provided to allow optimum bypass of the evaluation board. Provision has been made for optional surface-mount bulk capacitors to be installed near the power connectors to compensate for long cables to the 1 SMA CONNECTOR PADS 6 OPEN HOLES FOR SOLDERED WIRES OR 200mil TEKTRONIX HEADER, GND/GND/SIGNAL 8 CONNECT TO NEXT CHANNEL UP 2 TERMINATION 2 × 100Ω 8 CONNECT TO NEXT CHANNEL DOWN 5 2-PIN HEADER GND/SIGNAL 4 PULL-UP PAD 7 PULL-DOWN PAD 3 CONNECT TO SMA NOTES 1.
