GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The
ADN4612
evaluation board user guide describes the setup
and general usage of the
ADN4612
in this document is a quick start guide, hardware configuration
instructions, and software installation instructions.
The
ADN4612
evaluation board provides access to all 12
differential input ports and 12 differential output ports of the
ADN4612
via top launch SMA connectors. Each input and output
pair is ac-coupled using a 0.1 μF capacitor.
The evaluation board example (see Figure 1) is shown fully
populated with SMA connectors. The board is shipped with
only eight installed SMA connectors. The SMA connectors can
be moved to any of the 48 locations on the board by unscrewing

and then reattaching the connectors to the desired locations.
The customer can purchase an additional 40 SMA connectors
from several different sources and attach the connectors for a
fully populated board. The Bill of Materials section in this user
guide provides the SMA connector part number, which is
Molex 73251-1851 or equivalent.
All microstrip (top layer) transmission lines use an RoHs-
compliant, Megtron-6 dielectric. The differential transmission
line pairs are 10 mil wide with 7.5 mil spacing and are designed to
have a differential characteristic impedance of 100 Ω. The stripline
(middle layers) transmission lines are RoHs-compliant, FR-4
material.
