1. Connect to a DC962 a dual pow er suppl a f
y, unction
generator and an osciloscope as show n in Figure 3 (JP1
l
to DU AL and JP2 to M I
D).
Note 1:
The 50 termination on J2 input is used to bal
-
ance the 50 generator impedance on J1 input. The ad-
ditional 50 input impedance is in series w ith the input
resistors of the LT6600-XX (R 2 and R 3) theref the
ore
singl
e-ended to dif erential gain is l than one. Exam-
f
ess
pl the f
e:
eedback resistors in the LT6600-10 or -20 are
402 (see Figure 6) and f gain equalto one, the input
or
resistors shoul be al 402 . H ow ever, in Figure 3,
d
so
50 is in series w ith the 402 input resistors and the
gain is [402/
(402+50)] w hich equal to 0.8894.
s
2. Set the f
unction generator f a 1Vp-p, 100 kH z sine-
or
w ave and turn-on the pow er suppl
y.
3. The channel 2 input of the osciloscope is in phase
l
w ith the DC962 input and the channel1 input is 180 de-
grees out ofphase w ith the DC962 input. The singl
e-
ended output show n on channel 1 or 2, is a 0.5Vp-p
sinew ave (a 1Vp-p dif erentialoutput).
f
Note 2:
The LT6600-XX can directl drive at l a 50pF
y
east
capacitive l at each output. How ever an LT6600-XX
oad
can drive directl a l f
y ow requency sinew ave (100 kH z or
l
ess) into a capacitive l of up to 100pF. I this “Q uick
oad
n
Test” procedure, the output signal is a sinew ave and
each LT6600-XX output drives the capacitance of a 24
inch or l cabl pl the input capacitance of the oscil
ess
e us
-
l
oscope input, a capacitive l of 70pF (30pF per f
oad
oot
f the coax cabl and 10pF f the osciloscope input).
or
e
or
l
For testing the transient response of an LT6600-XX to a
squarew ave, use a 10x l capacitance osciloscope
ow
l
probe to monitor the DC962 output at J3 or J4.
