The AD8324 evaluation board and control software can be used
to control the AD8324 upstream cable driver via the parallel
port of a personal computer. A standard printer cable connected
to the parallel port of the PC is used to feed all the necessary
data to the AD8324 using the Windows® based control software.
This package provides a means of controlling the gain and the
power mode of the AD8324. With this evaluation kit, the
AD8324 can be evaluated in either a single-ended or differential
input configuration. A schematic of the evaluation board is
provided in Figure 29.

Although the AD8324 was designed to have optimal DOCSIS
performance when used with a differential input signal, the
AD8324 may also be used as a single-ended receiver, or as an IF
digitally controlled amplifier. However, as with the single-ended
to differential configuration noted previously, even order
harmonic distortion will be slightly degraded.
DIFFERENTIAL SIGNAL SOURCE
Typical applications for the AD8324 use a differential input
signal from a modulator or a DAC. Refer to Table 8 for
common values of R4, or calculate other input configurations
using the equation in Figure 24. This circuit configuration will
give optimal distortion results due to the symmetric input
signals. It should be noted that this is the configuration that was
used to characterize the AD8324.
When operating the AD8324 in a single-ended input mode,
terminate the part as illustrated in Figure 26. On the AD8324
evaluation boards, this termination method requires the
removal and shorting of R2 and R3, the removal of R4, as well
as the addition of 86.6 Ω at R1 and 40.2 Ω at R17 for 75 Ω
termination. Table 8 shows the correct values for R11 and R12
for some common input configurations. Other input impedance
configurations may be accommodated using the equations in
Figure 26.

The default configuration of the evaluation board implements a
differential signal drive from a single-ended signal source. This
configuration uses a 1:1 balun transformer to approximate a
differential signal. Because of the non-ideal nature of real
transformers, the differential signal is not purely equal and
opposite in amplitude. Although this circuit slightly sacrifices
even order harmonic distortion due to asymmetry, it does
provide a convenient way to evaluate the AD8324 with a single-
ended source. The AD8324 evaluation board is populated with
a TOKO 617DB-A0070 1:1 for this purpose (T1).

Table 8 provides typical R4 values for common input
configurations. R16 must be removed, and R2 and R3 should be
shorted. Other input impedances may be calculated using the
equation in Figure 25. Refer to Figure 29 for an evaluation
board schematic. To use the transformer for converting a single
ended source into a differential signal, the input signal must be
