GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This user guide describes the evaluation board for the AD8273/
AD8277/AD8279. The design of this board emphasizes simplicity
and ease of use. The AD8273/AD8277/AD8279 board comes
with a ready assortment of connection options (BNC and RCA
connectors), and many configurations are set by jumpers.
The AD8273, AD8277, and AD8279 data sheets cover the
details of operation of the devices. Using these data sheets for
reference helps designers in their end application. The data
sheets are helpful for understanding the operation of the
AD8273/AD8277/AD8279, especially during the initial
configuration and when powering the board up for the first
time.

QUICK START
OVERVIEW
This section outlines the basic configuration of the AD8273/
AD8277/AD8279 evaluation board to test for basic functionality. 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).
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
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).

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.
