Analog Devices Inc. ADL5308 Evaluation Board & Kit
Analog Devices ADL5308 Evaluation Board and Kit is configured to evaluate the operation of the ADL5308 logarithmic converter IC. The ADL5308 is a monolithic logarithmic transimpedance amplifier optimized for measuring low frequency and wide dynamic range signal power in fiber optic systems. The logarithmic slope and intercept are both factory-trimmed to a nominal value of 200mV/dec and 10pA, respectively. Both can be adjusted through the I2C interface. The ADI ADL5308 evaluation board offers a comparator reference and output connectors with adjustable hysteresis.
Features
- Full-featured evaluation board for the ADL5308
- Supports external electrical input or onboard photodiode (PD) for optical input
- On-chip or external PD bias (PDB)
- Comparator reference and output connectors with adjustable hysteresis
Required Equipment
- 5VDC power supply (minimum 50mA output current)
- Precision source measurement unit (for example, Keithley 236)
- Triax cable
- Triax-to-BNC adapter (Triax center to BNC center, Triax shield to BNC shield, Triax inner guard may be connected to BNC shield or left floating)
- BNC-to-SMA adapter
- 2x digital multimeters
- Oscilloscope
- DC2026C (Linduino® One) board (Required only for adjusting the ADL5308's internal registers, not needed for the evaluation of ADL5308 in factory default settings)
