AD8343 Evaluation Board
EVAL-AD8343EB
BOARD DESCRIPTION
The AD8343 Evaluation Board has two independent areas, denoted
A and B. The circuit schematics are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
An assembly drawing is included in Figure 3 to ease identification
of components, and representations of the board layout are included
in Figures 4 through 7.
The A region is configured for ease in making device impedance
measurements as part of the process of developing suitable matching
networks for a final application. The B region is designed for
operating the AD8343 in a single-ended application environment,
and therefore includes pads for attaching baluns or transformers at
both the input and output.
Tables I through III delineate the components used for the
characterization procedure used to generate TPC 1 through 42
and most other data contained in the AD8343 data sheet. Table I
lists the support components that are delivered with the AD8343
evaluation board. Note that the board is shipped without any frequency specific components installed. Table II lists the components
used to obtain the frequency selection necessary for the product
receiver evaluation, and Table III lists the transmitter evaluation
components.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the
EVAL-AD8343EB features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on
devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

*The ECT1-1-13 wideband balun was chosen for ease in customer’s independent evaluation. These baluns are quite acceptable for use as T1 on the LO port, but may
not be acceptable for use as T2 on the high performance RF input. It has been found that board-to-board performance variations become unacceptable when
this balun is used at higher (> 500 MHz) frequencies. A narrow-band balun is suggested for this critical interface. Refer to the Device Interfaces and A Step-by-Step
Approach to Impedance Matching section of the AD8345 data sheet for more information.
