ADC3xxxEVM and ADC3xJxxEVM

Figure 5. ADC34xx EVM Connector and Jumper Locations

The EVM has a barrel connector for 5-V power. The SMA connectors connect the ADC input and ADC
clock input to the ADC. Typically, the ADC inputs are transformer-coupled to accept single-ended
connections. The input circuit can be configured to connect to two SMA connectors for differential
signaling, if desired.

Table 3

lists the connector information for the ADC3xxxx.
