Preliminary Technical Data
EVAL-AD5933EB
Link No.
LK11
LK12
Function
The on-board voltage reference ADR423 (U4) can be supplied with an external supply voltage at Terminal Block J6-1.
Alternatively, the input voltage can be supplied to the reference by the 5 V available through the USB connector (J1). By
inserting LK11, LK5, LK4, and LK10, the AD5933 is completely powered from the USB supply; however, it is recommended to
power the three supply pins of the part from an external precision voltage source for best results.
This link is used to connect the high performance 16 MHz crystal oscillator (Y2) to Pin 8 (MCLK) of the AD5933.
• When Link 12 (LK12) is inserted and Link 3 (LK3) is removed, the on-board crystal oscillator is connected to the MCLK pin.
• When Link 12 (LK12) is removed, Link 3 (LK3) should be inserted and an external clock should be applied to the CLK1 SMB
connector.
SMB JUMPER FUNCTIONS
Table 3. SMB Jumper Function Descriptions
SMB
Function
CLK 1
The user can apply an external clock signal to Pin 8 (MCLK) of the AD5933, use the supplied external 16 MHz crystal
oscillator (Y2), or use the internal 16.776 MHz oscillator to clock the AD5933 system.
When Link 3 is inserted and Link 12 is removed, the external clock signal applied at the CLK1 SMB connector is connected to
Pin 8 (MCLK). Alternatively, if Link 3 is removed and Link 12 is inserted, the on-board high performance 16 MHz surface-
mount crystal can be used to clock the system. If the internal 16.776 MHz oscillator is used, the clock signal applied at MCLK
is isolated by an internal multiplexer.
CLK 2
This link is for test purposes only.
VOUT
The user connects one end of the impedance being analyzed (ZUNKNOWN) to this connector and the other end across the VIN
SMB connector. The signal present at this connector can either be the excitation voltage output from Pin 6 of the AD5933 or
an amplified version, depending on the status of LK1, LK2, and LK6, assuming the presence of a user-supplied external op amp
at U1 (see Figure 1).
VIN
This connector takes the response signal current from across the impedance being analyzed (ZUNKNOWN), which is connected
between the VIN and VOUT SMB connectors, and provides a path back to the input pin (VIN, Pin 5). Link 7 must be inserted
for the path to be complete. The external feedback resistor (RFB) has one point connected to this signal path, as shown in
the board schematic (see the Evaluation Board Schematic section) and Figure 2.
LINK SETUP CONDITIONS

Link Position Function
LK1, Removed External Amplifier U1 (optional) connected to VOUT is disconnected. AD5933 VOUT is directly connected to the SMB
LK2
connector VOUT.
LK3 Removed Used in conjunction with Link 12 (LK12). Optional user-supplied clock signal at CLK1 is not connected to Pin 8 (MCLK).
LK4 Inserted AVDD1 is supplied from the ADR423 reference output.
LK5 Inserted AVDD2 is supplied from the ADR423 reference output.
LK6 Inserted Connects the output pin of the AD5933, VOUT, to the VOUT SMB connector.
LK7 Inserted Connects the input pin of the AD5933, VIN, to the VIN SMB connector.
LK8, Inserted
LK9
Connects a 15 pF capacitor across the input and output pins of the AD5933. These links are for board manufacturing
test purposes only and should be removed when completing a sweep with impedance ZUNKNOWN connected between
the SMB connectors, VOUT and VIN.
LK10 Inserted DVDD is supplied from the ADR423 reference output.
LK11 Inserted
Connects the 5.0 V supplied from the USB hub of the user PC to the supply input (VDD, Pin 2 of U4) of the on-board
ADR423 reference.
LK12 Inserted Connects the output of the on-board 16 MHz oscillator to Pin 8 (MCLK) of the AD5933.
