Product Details
The EVAL-AD4630-20FMCZ is a fully-featured evaluation board designed to evaluate all the features of the AD4630-20 analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The AD4630-20 is a 2MSPS per channel, low power, dual-channel 20-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADCs while the AD4632-20 is a dual-channel 24-bit precision SAR ADC that supports up to 500kSPS per channel. The evaluation board shows the performance of the AD4630-20/AD4632-20 and provides a configurable analog front end (AFE) for a variety of system applications.
The evaluation board is designed for use with the Digilent Zed- Board. The ZedBoard is used to control data capture and buffering. The evaluation board connects to the ZedBoard board by a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) mezzanine card (FMC) low-pin count (LPC) connector. The ZedBoard hosts a Xilinx® ZYNQ®7000 SoC, which has two processor cores and programmable FPGA fabric. The ZedBoard connects to the PC through USB. The ZedBoard controls the evaluation board through the USB port of the PC using the ACE Software, which is available for download from the ACE Software page.
Full specifications on the AD4630-20/AD4632-20 are available in the AD4630-20/AD4632-20 data sheet available from Analog Devices, Inc., and must be consulted with this user guide when using the EVAL-AD4630-20FMCZ evaluation board.
