3.1. Board Jumper Settings

To run the demo, follow the instructions below. Review Figure 5 and Figures 11 through 14 if necessary.

1. Ensure that JP1 and JP6 are installed as shown in Figure 1, 2, 3, or 4.

3.2. DC Supply Configuration

1. Turn OFF the dc power supply and ensure that the output voltage is set to its lowest output voltage.

2. Connect the banana ends of the black and red banana to clip terminated wires to the outputs of the dc

supply.

3. Then, connect the clip end of the red and black banana to clip wires to P2. The red wire goes to Pin1. The

black wire goes to Pin3.

4. Turn ON the dc power supply.

5. Adjust the dc power supply to provide 15 V on its output.

6. Ensure that the current draw is less than 25 mA. If it is larger, this indicates that either the board or Si826x

has been damaged or the supply is connected backwards.

3.3. Wave Form Generator

1. Turn ON the arbitrary waveform generator with the output disengaged.

2. Adjust its output to provide a 500 kHz, 0 to 5 V peak square wave (50 percent duty cycle) to its output.

3. Split the output of the generator with a BNC splitter.

4. From the BNC splitter, connect a coaxial cable to CH1 of the scope. This will be the input.

5. Connect a second coaxial cable to the BNC splitter, and connect a BNC-to-clip converter to the end of the

coaxial cable.

6. From here, connect the clip ends of the BNC-to-clip converter to P1, Pin1 (red wire here) and Pin3 (black

wire here). The positive terminal is Pin1 on P1.

7. Connect one end of a third coaxial cable to a BNC-to-clip converter (note that a scope probe can be used

here instead).

8. From here, connect the clip end of the BNC-to-clip converter to P2, Pin2 (red wire here) and Pin3 (black

wire here). Vo is on P2 Pin2.

9. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to CH2 of the oscilloscope. This will be the output.

10. Engage the output of the waveform generator.

3.4. Oscilloscope Setup

1. Turn ON the oscilloscope.

2. Set the scope to Trigger on CH1 and adjust the trigger level to 1 V minimum.

3. Set CH1 to 2 V per division. Set CH2 to 5 V per division.

4. Adjust the seconds/division setting to 250 ns/division.

5. Adjust the level indicator for all channels to properly view each channel as shown in Figure 6.

A 500 kHz square wave should display on Channel 1 of the scope for the input and a slightly delayed 5 V version of

this square wave should display the output on Channel 2, as shown in Figure 6. This concludes the basic demo.
