Function
LK4
The internal reference circuitry section of the AD5933 can be powered through Terminal Block J4-1 (AVDD-REF) or, alternatively,
from the on-board reference (U4). The J4-1 terminal block can be connected to a user-supplied external voltage source or,
alternatively, the on-board high performance voltage reference, ADR423 (U4), can act as the voltage supply to the AVDD2 pin
of the AD5933. Ensure that Link 4 is removed if Terminal Block J4-1 is powered with an external power supply.

LK6
This link is used in conjunction with Link 1 and Link 2. The output excitation voltage can be directly applied to the VOUT SMB
connector by inserting Link 6 and removing both Link 1 and Link 2. The AD5933 output excitation voltage can be postamplified by
routing the signal through a noninverting amplifier (user supplied), which is accomplished by removing Link 6 and inserting
Link 1 and Link 2.
