EVAL-AD4083-FMC

Product Details

The EVAL-AD4083-FMCZ is designed to demonstrate the performance of the AD4083 analog‐to‐digital converter (ADC) and provide access to a limited set of device configuration features through the ACE Software environment. The EVAL-AD4083-FMCZ evaluation kit supports the following AD4083 features:

• Low voltage digital signaling (LVDS) data output interface.
• ADC configuration via serial peripheral interface (SPI).
• Internal or external generation of 1.1V regulated supply rails.
• Sampling rate capability between 1.25MSPS and up to 40MSPS, depending on the specific ADC.

The EVAL-AD4083-FMCZ evaluation board was designed for use with the Digilent ZedBoard via the field programmable gate array (FPGA) mezzanine card (FMC) connector. The ZedBoard uses a Xilinx Zynq7000 system on chip (SoC) running Analog Devices, Inc., Kuiper Linux and LIBIIO (included on the SD card supplied in the evaluation board kit) to facilitate communication with the EVAL-AD4083-FMCZ, enabling ADC configuration, capturing data, and providing the communication link to the host PC and the ACE Software plugin.

The AD4083 that is physically mounted on the board can be evaluated with any sampling frequency range from 1.25MHz to 40MHz. However, performance of the AD4084 can also be estimated using this board by setting the sampling frequency to 20MHz. Note, the captured results for AD4083 running at the reduced sample rate should only be taken as indications of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) rather than the actual measurement; nevertheless, measured SNR for the AD4084 will not be worse.
