P ower Supplies
When using this evaluation board with the EVAL-BOARD
CONT ROLLER all supplies are provided from the EVAL-
BOARD CONT ROLLER through the 96 way connector.
When using the board as a stand alone unit external supplies
must be provided. T his evaluation board has seven power
supply inputs:
PC Softw are for Control and Data Analysis w hen used
w ith Eval-Board Controller
VDD, AGND, +12V, -12V, AGND, VDRIVE and
I N T R O D U C T I O N
DGND If the evaluation board is used in stand-alone mode
.
T his T echnical Note describes the evaluation board for the
AD7899 high speed, low power, 14-bit A/D converter that
operates from a single 5 V supply. Full data on the AD7899
is available in the AD7899 data sheet available from Analog
Devices and should be consulted in conjunction with this
T echnical Note when using the Evaluation Board.
+5V must be connected to the VD D input to supply the
AD7899 VDD pin and the AD780 voltage reference. +12V and
-12V are used to supply the op-amps. T he VDRIVE pin can be
driven by a voltage between +3V and +5V allowing the
evaluation board to be connected to both +3V and +5V
systems. T he supplies are decoupled to the relevant ground
plane with 10µF tantalum and 0.1µF multilayer ceramic
capacitors at the point where they enter the board. T he supply
pins of all the op-amps and reference are also decoupled to
AGND with 10µF tantalum and a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. T he
AD7899 AVDD supply pin is decoupled to AGND with 47uF
tantalum and 0.1µF multilayer ceramic capacitors.
On-board components include an AD780 which is a +2.5V
ultra high precision bandgap reference and an op-amp for the
analog inputs. T here are various link options which are
explained in detail on page 2.
Interfacing to this board is through a 96-way connector. T his
96-way connector is compatible with the EVAL-BOARD
CON T ROLLER which is also available from Analog D e-
vices. External sockets are provided for the optional, exter-
nal, CONVST and C LKIN and VD RIVE inputs and the
VIN 1-VIN 4 inputs.
Extensive ground planes are used on this board to minimize
the effect of high frequency noise interference. T here are two
ground planes, AGND and DGND
location close to the AD7899.
