EVALUATION BOARD 
The AD605-EVALZ provides a platform for the circuit designer 
to become familiar with the many operating and performance 
features of the AD605 variable gain amplifier. It is a factory-
designed, surface-mount assembly fully tested and ready for 
service. Figure 42 is a photograph of the AD605-EVALZ. Multiple 
inputs, test points, and jumpers provide circuit configurations that 
support any of the operating options of the device. Figure 43 is a 
schematic of the board. 
Power is required from only a single 5 V supply capable of 
supplying 55 mA to 60 mA quiescent current.

INPUT CONNECTIONS 
The AD605 VGA accepts differential or single-ended input 
signals and provides single-ended outputs. The SMA connectors 
enable either configuration to be used, as well as the output and 
gain control signals. Each of the I/O ports is also available at a 
test-loop labeled for easy identification. 
The input resistance at each of the four input SMA connectors is 
50 Ω, consisting of the 175 Ω, ±40 Ω resistance of the attenuator 
ladder network in parallel with the external 69.8 Ω resistors. For 
single-ended operation, unused inputs can be left disconnected 
or optional jumpers installed. Either VGA input is usable; for 
noninverting operation, the INPx is used, and for signal inversion, 
the INMx is used. 
ADJUSTING GAIN, COMMON-MODE, AND 
REFERENCE LEVELS 
The gain of each channel is adjusted with trimmers, GN1ADJ and 
GN2ADJ. Trimmer VREF ADJ adjusts the gain scaling in dB/V (or 
gain slope), and VOCM ADJ adjusts the output common-mode 
voltage for both channels. For dynamic gain control, JP1 and 
JP4 can be removed and the signal applied at the SMA 
connectors, GN1 and GN2. 
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS 
SMA connectors, OUT1 and OUT2, are the output connectors. 
Series resistors and capacitors are included for termination and 
dc blocking purposes. The output of the AD605 has a common-
mode value of one-half the supply (unless amended by a voltage 
applied to the VCM pin). 
Table 4 lists jumpers and their functions, and Figure 44 shows 
the evaluation board in a typical test configuration.
