When using the board as a stand alone unit external sup-
plies must be provided. T his evaluation board has seven
power supply inputs:
VDD, AGND, +12V, -12V, AGND, and

T his T echnical Note describes the evaluation board for
the AD7898 which is a fast 12-bit ADC that operates from a
single +5 V supply and is housed in an 8-pin SOIC. Full data
on the AD7898 is available in the AD7898 data sheet
available from Analog Devices and should be consulted in
conjunction with this T echnical Note when using the
Evaluation Board.
mode +5V must be connected to the VDD input to supply
the AD7898 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 refer-
ence are also decoupled to AGND with 10µF tantalum and a
0.1µF ceramic capacitor. T he AD7898 AVDD supply pin is
decoupled to AGND with 10 µF tantalum and 0.1µF multi-
layer ceramic capacitors.
On-board components include an AD780 which is a pin
programmable +2.5V or +3V ultra high precision
bandgap reference and an AD711 op-amp used to buffer
the analog input. 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 EVALUA-
T ION -BOARD C ON T ROLLER which is also available
from Analog Devices. External sockets are provided for
the CS/CONVST input, VDRIVE input, SDAT A input,
SCLK input, REFIN input and the VIN input.
Extensive ground planes are used on this board to mini-
mize the effect of high frequency noise interference. T here
are two ground planes, AGND and DGND
. T hese are con-
nected at one location close to the AD7898.
