10) The waveform monitoring pins P6 through P39 are designed to make connection to GND easily in order to
reduce distortion when monitoring the waveform with an oscilloscope. As shown in the diagram below, the
distance between the measuring point and GND is 300mil, and each is equipped with a through hole of
1.2mm. When a Tektronix ground chip (part No. 013-1185-00) is mounted on the tip of a probe, the
signal – GND positions match.

11) D/A converter (IC9) input data (waveform monitoring pins P28 to P35) are the negative logic signals of the
decimated A/D converter outputs. Those are inverted again in the D/A converter so that the direction
(rise/fall) of reproduced waveform can agree with the A/D input signal's.
12) In order to maintain the accuracy of the reproduced waveform (waveform from A/D to D/A), set the
decimator such that the clock frequency of the D/A converter (IC9: CX20201A-1) is less than 100MHz.
13) The input bandwidth weighs with the design of this PCB analog input circuit. Therefore, the SNR (signal-to-
noise ratio) should be less significant. The input circuit example to improve the SNR is shown in Fig.4. See
the measured data in Fig.s 6 to 8 for the SNR and the input circuit characteristics.
14) The part number of the digital output connector mounted on the PCB is KEL 8830E-020-170S. A
corresponding connector and cable assembly is JUNKOSHA KB0020MCG50B1.
