A.1.1

Baseline Noise & Distortion Test - Non-Averaged FFT

Connect the evaluation board power inputs to a bench supply having the appropriate voltages.

Connect the evaluation board’s analog input(s) to circuit ground (in most cases, the 50

Ω termination re-

sistors on the input will be adequate).

Select the Frequency Domain window (selected by clicking on the Frequency Domain tab at the top of the
