GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADA4530-1R-EBZ is an evaluation board for the ADA4530-1

offered in an 8-lead SOIC package. The ADA4530-1R-EBZ is a

4-layer printed circuit board (PCB) designed to minimize

leakage currents with its guard ring features for femtoampere

The ADA4530-1R-EBZ is available in two default configurations:

buffer (ADA4530-1R-EBZ-BUF) and transimpedance

(ADA4530-1R-EBZ-TIA). Both boards are populated with the

necessary passive components, banana jacks/terminal blocks for

supply voltages, BNC/terminal blocks for the output voltage,

multiple test pins, and metal shields. All components are placed

on the primary side with the exception of the triaxial (triax)/

coaxial (coax) input connector (J1) and SHIELD3.

The ADA4530-1R-EBZ also has unpopulated resistor and

capacitor pads that allows quick prototyping with different

configurations, such as noninverting gain and inverting gain.

Specifications for the ADA4530-1 are provided in the

ADA4530-1 data sheet available from Analog Devices, Inc.

The ADA4530-1 data sheet and the AN-1373 Application Note

should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when

using the evaluation board.
