Regarding output voltage fluctuation when switching gain

Hi Yuya ,

Thank you for reaching out and for considering the AD8338 for your application. 

Regarding the fluctuation you're experiencing when changing the gain, I'd like to gather a bit more information to better assist you. When you tested the AD8338 using the EVAL-AD8338 board, did you set it up with a single-ended input to a differential output configuration? This setup typically involves using the ADA4940-1 as a differential driver amplifier.

Could you please confirm how you've configured the inputs and whether the ADA4940-1 is part of your setup? Also, can you share your scope shots in the output. This information will help us to pinpoint the cause of the fluctuation and find a solution for you. 

Thanks,

Mae

Hi, maarmas

Thank you for answering! And sorry for the late reply.

The jumper settings for each are listed below.
J5: Connect the lower two
J6: Connect the upper two
J7: connect two
J8: connect two
(Settings are as shown on the silk sheet, SE->DE)

Is Normal a single-ended input?

Scope shots cannot be posted here. sorry.

Best regards.

Hello Yuya ,

The jumper settings shows that the board is configured as single-ended input to differential output. Normal signifies a differential input to differential output. 

I hope this information helps.

Thanks,

Mae
