    (ADCs) and fully differential inputs. The PGA855 is equipped with eight binary gain settings, from an attenuating gain of 0.125 V/V to a maximum of 16 V/V, using three digital gain-selection pins. The output common-mode voltage can be independently set using the VOCM pin.
  • Page 4: Evm Circuit Description

    By default, the PGA855EVM programmable gain amplifier is configured to a gain of 0.125 V/V. The evaluation board provides shunt jumpers J10, J11, and J12 to set the PGA855 gain. The device uses two sets of voltage supplies: input stage and output stage. The output-stage power supplies are decoupled from the input stage to limit the PGA855 output-swing voltage level protecting the ADC or downstream device against overdrive damage.

    J14.4 Ground By default, the output-stage supply-voltage levels (+LVDD and –LVSS) are set to the PGA855 positive (+VCC) and negative (–VEE) supplies, respectively. The +LVDD pin is connected to +VCC through jumper J9 1-2, and the –LVSS pin is connected to –VEE through J16 1-2. Screw terminal connector J14 provides access to the output-stage supply pins.

    The PGA855 provides eight binary gain settings, from an attenuating gain of 0.125 V/V to a maximum of 16 V/V. The gain is controlled by three digital selection pins: A0, A1, and A2. By default, the PGA855 is configured to a gain of 0.125 V/V.

    For flexibility, the EVM provides optional capacitors C4 and C18. These capacitors are in parallel with the PGA855 output-stage internal-feedback resistors to implement noise filtering. In addition, the evaluation board provides footprints R6, R10, C9, C5, and C12 for optional input low-pass filters, and footprints for load resistors R7 and R11.
