Description
Demonstration circuit 1660B features the LTC
ferential 16-bit ADC buffer. The demo board incorporates a
variety of passive components to allow for direct connec-
tion to a two-port network analyzer or other single-ended
50Ω test system.
The demo board is easily configured to control common-
mode voltage V

Quick start proceDure
DC1660B is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of
the LTC6417. Refer to Figure 1 for proper measurement
equipment setup and follow the procedure below:
1. Connect SMA cables to IN
2. Apply 5.0V between V
Tie PWRADJ (TURRET E4) to V
to approximately 150mA.
3. V
, CLHI and SHDN turrets may be left floating.
CM
This procedure contains a critical sequence. The user
must apply supply voltage before applying signal power
to the inputs or forcing a voltage to any other turrets. The
user must also remove the signal from the input ports
and voltages on any other turret before turning down
the supply voltage. This proper sequence will prevent
excessive current through the ESD diodes from any pin
