Evaluation Board for the AD4000 Series 16-/18-/20-Bit Precision SAR ADCs
ADCs and provides a simplified interface for a variety of system
applications.
FEATURES
Fully featured evaluation board for 10-lead precision ADCs
Versatile analog signal conditioning circuitry
On-board reference, reference buffers, and ADC drivers
PC software for control and data analysis of time and
frequency domain
The EVAL-AD4000FMCZ/EVAL-AD4001FMCZ/EVAL-
AD4002FMCZ/EVAL-AD4003FMCZ/EVAL-AD4020FMCZ
evaluation boards, accessible from the EVAL-AD400x-FMCZ
product page, (see Figure 1) are ideal for use with the Analog
Devices, Inc., high speed system demonstration platform (SDP-
H1). These evaluation boards interface to the SDP-H1 board via
a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) mezzanine card
(FMC) low pin count (LPC) connector.
System demonstration platform-compatible (SDP-H1)
EVALUATION BOARD KIT CONTENTS
AD4000/AD4001/AD4002/AD4003/AD4020 evaluation board
(see Table 7)
12 V wall adapter power supply
On-board components include a high precision buffered band
gap 5.0 V reference (ADR4550), a reference buffer (ADA4807-1),
a common-mode buffer (ADA4807-1), a signal conditioning
circuit with two op amps (ADA4807-1), and a power supply to
derive the necessary voltage levels to supply all voltage needs.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
PC running Windows 7 or Windows 10
SDP-H1 board (EVAL-SDP-CH1Z) or FMC-compatible
controller board
The EVAL-AD4000FMCZ, EVAL-AD4001FMCZ, EVAL-
AD4002FMCZ, EVAL-AD4003FMCZ, and EVAL-
Precision signal source
Cable (SMA input to evaluation board)
One end of cable is standard USB A and other end of cable is
mini-B USB
Band-pass filter suitable for 16-bit, 18-bit, and 20-bit testing
(value based on signal frequency)
AD40XX evaluation software
AD4020FMCZ are populated with the AD4000, AD4001,
AD4002, AD4003, and AD4020, respectively. However, these
boards can be used to evaluate the performance of the AD4004,
AD4005, AD4006, AD4007, AD4008, AD4010, AD4011,
AD4021, and AD4022 by limiting the sample rate in the evaluation
software to the maximum sample rate of the specific ADC.
For example, the AD4000 on the EVAL-AD4000FMCZ can be
used to evaluate the performance of the AD4004 if the sample
rate is limited to 1 MSPS. See the data sheet of each product for
the corresponding evaluation board.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD4000/AD4001/AD4002/AD4003/AD4020 family of
evaluation boards enable quick, simplified evaluation of the
AD4000 family of 16-/18-/20-bit, precision successive approx-
imation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The
AD4000/AD4001/AD4002/AD4003/AD4020 are low power,
16-bit/18-bit/20-bit, precision SAR ADCs that offer high
performance with throughputs up to 2 MSPS (1.8 MSPS for the
AD4020). The evaluation board demonstrates the performance of
the AD4000/AD4001/AD4002/AD4003/AD4020 family of
Full descriptions of these products are available in their
respective data sheets, which must be consulted when using the
corresponding evaluation board. Table 7 shows the models of
the AD4000/AD4001/AD4002/AD4003/AD4020 evaluation
boards.
