GENERAL DESCRIPTION
An Analog Devices, Inc., differential driver evaluation board
makes it easy for designers to obtain quick performance results
for their particular differential driver application circuits. The
board layout is very flexible and allows for many circuit configura-
tions, including traditional four-resistor circuits, circuits with
two different feedback loops, circuits with input and output
transformers, filters, and many others. Most resistors and
capacitors use 1206 packages.
The board accommodates the AD8131, AD8132, AD8138, and
AD8139. The data sheets for these devices should be consulted
in conjunction with this evaluation board user guide.
The AD8131 is a special case because it has internal feedback
networks but can, nonetheless, be evaluated on the board by
• Omitting the R19 and R20 feedback resistors and C3 and
C4 capacitors.
• Using 0 Ω resistors for Gain Resistor R17 and Gain
Resistor R18.
• Ignoring all further references to these components.
