 The AD8479R-EBZ is specifically designed to aid the evaluation of the AD8479, a very high common-mode voltage precision difference amplifier. The design of this board emphasizes simplicity and ease of use. This board comes with connection options for the input and output terminals (SMA and Vector pins) and a predefined configuration with the reference pins both tied to ground. The AD8479R-EBZ is specifically designed to aid the evaluation of the AD8479, a very high common-mode voltage precision difference amplifier.

-The AD8479 datasheet covers the details of the device’s operation. It also shows the basic connections for operating the device with a single or dual supply. It is recommended to consult the datasheet in conjunction with this evaluation board user guide especially during powering up for the first time. +The AD8479 datasheet covers the details of the device’s operation.
