Product Details

The EVAL-ADA4352-2EBZ is designed to evaluate the ADA4352-2, a compact, monolithic, dual-channel, precision, programmable gain transimpedance amplifier (PGTIA) that integrates four current-to-voltage gain selections per channel, in which the gain is programmable using two logic pins per channel, offered in a 3 mm x 3 mm x 0.75 mm 16-lead lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP).

The EVAL-ADA4352-2EBZ is a four-layer printed circuit board with dimensions of 2.9 in x 2.25 in. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the board’s front and back view. The evaluation board comes populated with key components to run and evaluate the board quickly and easily. It also allots unpopulated resistor/capacitor provisions on its input and output stages, allowing to install components with user-defined values for circuits such as a low pass filter or voltage divider.

The evaluation board is accessible through SMA female socket edge mounts to directly connect test equipment to the inputs and outputs of both channels, as well as the gain switch control pins. It also comes with an unpopulated photodiode slot on each channel, allowing for quick prototyping.
