25. The optional amplifiers, ADA4899-1 (A2, A3), can be set up in a
unity-gain configuration driving the ADAQ23876 or ADAQ23878.
In a default configuration of the EVAL-ADAQ23876FMCZ and
EVAL-ADAQ23878FMCZ, an input signal via VIN+ and VIN can
be fed directly to the ADAQ23876 or ADAQ23878, respectively, by
bypassing A2 and A3.
The EVAL-ADAQ23876FMCZ and EVAL-ADAQ23878FMCZ are
factory configured to provide the appropriate input signal type, sin-
gle-ended or fully differential, and different gain/attenuation or input
range scaling.
Table 2
lists the necessary jumper positions and link
options for different configurations. The default board configuration
presents a 4.096 V on the REFBUF pin and a buffered 2.048
V (midscale) of the fully differential ADC driver amplifier (FDA)'s
VCMO pin of the ADAQ23876 and ADAQ23878.
To evaluate dynamic performance, a fast Fourier transform (FFT),

domain (waveform or histogram) test can be performed by applying
a very low distortion ac source. For low input frequency testing
below 100 kHz, it is recommended to use a low noise, audio
precision signal source (such as the SYS-2700 series) with the
outputs set to balanced floating. A different precision signal source
can be used alternatively with additional band-pass filtering. The
filter bandwidth depends on input bandwidth of interest.
LINK CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Multiple link options must be set correctly for the appropriate
operating setup before applying the power and signal to the EVAL-
ADAQ23876FMCZ or EVAL-ADAQ23878FMCZ.

Digital input that enables two-lane output mode. Use this jumper to select either
single lane or two-lane data output mode. The default setting is Pin 2 and Pin 3.
The Pin 2 and Pin 3 setting clocks out all data on the DA± pin. The Pin 1 and Pin 2
setting clocks out data alternately on the DA± and DB± pins.
Negative input of an internal ADC. Extra capacitance can be added on this pin to
reduce the RC filter bandwidth. Optional for the ADAQ23876 and ADAQ23878.
Positive input of an internal ADC. Additional capacitance can be added on this pin
to reduce the RC filter bandwidth. Optional for the ADAQ23876 and ADAQ23878.
Active low. Connect this pin to GND to power down the fully differential ADC driver.
Otherwise, connect it to VS+.
The EVAL-ADAQ23876FMCZ and EVAL-ADAQ23878FMCZ interface to the SDP-
H1 via a 160-pin connector.
Digital input that enables the power-down mode. When PDB_ADC is low, an
internal ADC core enters power-down mode, and all circuitry (including the LVDS
interface) shuts down. When PDB_ADC is high, the device operates normally.
Logic levels are determined by VIO.
