EVAL-AD4080-FMC

Product Details

The EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ is designed to demonstrate the performance of the AD4080, AD4081, AD4082 analog‐to‐digital converter (ADC) and provide access to a limited set of device configuration features through the ACE Software environment. The EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ evaluation kit supports the following AD4080/ AD4081/AD4082 features

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

The EVAL-AD4080-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 EVALAD4080-FMCZ, enabling ADC configuration and data capture and to additionally provide the communication link to the host PC and the ACE Software plug-in.

The AD4080 that is physically mounted on the board can be evaluated with any sampling frequency range from 1.25MHz to 40MHz. However, performance of either the AD4081 or AD4082 can also be estimated using this board by setting the sampling frequency to 20MHz or 10MHZ respectively. Note, the captured results for AD4080 running at the reduced sample rate must be used as an estimate of the SNR achievable with the lower speed generics, rather than the actual measurement. Nevertheless, measured SNR for the AD4081 or AD4082 is not lower than that of the AD4080 running in the reduced throughput configuration.
