2.3 CONNECTING THE PCBs

This section discusses the primary method for setting up the Active Filter Demo Board

Kit. An exploded view of how the different boards connect is shown in Figure 2-1 (see

also Figure 1-2).

The filter order will determine how many of the Active Filter Section boards need to be

cascaded (one board when n = 1 or 2, two boards when n = 3 or 4,

…).

The board edge connectors are slid together to make good electrical connection

between boards.

The (surface mount) test points allow lab equipment to be connected to these boards.

The user provides the input signal and power to the V

/2 Filter Section, and measures

the output signal at the last Active Filter Section.
