ASSOCIATED TOOLS
FIGURE 1-1:
The test points make it easier to test key points in the circuit, change the input signals
and to use this board as a stand-alone.
• GND Test Point – Connected to the ground plane and is a convenient ground
• +5V Test Point – Allows measurement of the positive supply voltage and provides
• CH0 Test Point – The place to measure the transimpedance amplifier’s output
• CH1 Test Point – Makes it possible to send any desired signal to the PGA
More details on the circuit and on its design can be found in Appendix A. “Schematic
and Layouts” and in Application Note 951.
Figure 1-2 shows the block diagram of the hardware and software tools that the
Photodiode PGA PICtail™ Daughter Board is designed to work with. More informa-
tion on these tools can be found in the “Recommended Reading” section.
