GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EVAL-ADATE304BBCZ is a full featured evaluation board
designed to allow the user to simply evaluate all features of
the ADATE304 dual integrated driver, comparator, and active
load (DCL) and four-quadrant per pin parametric measurement
unit (PPMU). The EVAL-ADATE304BBCZ features breakout con-
nections through the SMA terminals for all the signal inputs and
outputs. The differential pairs are provided with 50 Ω controlled
impedance traces with equal lengths.
The EVAL-ADATE304BBCZ only requires two power supplies, +21
V and −10 V. All other voltages required by the device are created
by the on-board regulators. The EVAL-ADATE304BBCZ SPI com-
munications are provided by an on-board USB UART chip. SPI
jumper connectors allow the user to bypass the UART and connect
their own SPI signals for evaluation (see
setup is for control through the USB port. Communication with the
ADATE304 evaluation board software is through the USB, and the
light emitting diode (LED) indicators on the EVAL-ADATE304BBCZ
provide displays for the read and write data.
The ADATE304 data sheet provides full details on all the functional-
ities of the ADATE304 device, as well as the information on each
of the registers within the ADATE304, and must be consulted when
using the EVAL-ADATE304BBCZ.
