AD9121-M5375-EBZ: bypassing the Balun

Category: Hardware
Product Number: AD9121-M5375-EBZ

Hi,

we want to use the AD9122 Evaluation Board but we want to bypass the Balun (red box in image below). I have pasted screenshots from the schematic of the Eval-Board Ref F, pages 6 and 7:

I wanted to know if this is possible by using the right jumper configuration (green boxes). In the manual I cannot find anything about this, so I was wondering.

Thank you very much!

    Thank you for using AD9121.

    I wanted to know if this is possible by using the right jumper configuration (green boxes).

    That is correct; T7 can be bypassed by using the on-board filter (pins 1 and 2 of JP6 and JP17 connected) and routing the output to SMA connectors J3 and J5 (pins 1 and 2 of JP13 and JP14 connected) if you opt not to use the ADL5375 modulator.
