EVAL-ADA4356EBZ

Product Details

The EVAL-ADA4356EBZ evaluation board is designed to evaluate the performance of the ADA4356, a single-channel, low-noise, wide dynamic-range, current input, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) μModule with three programmable gains and two selectable internal analog low-pass filters, offered in a 12mm × 6mm BGA package. It provides access to the ADA4356’s features through ADI’s Analysis | Control | Evaluation (ACE) software.

The EVAL-ADA4356EBZ evaluation board is designed for use with the Digilent ZedBoard via the field programmable gate array (FPGA) mezzanine card (FMC) connector.

The notable features which the EVAL-ADA4356EBZ evaluation board supports are as follows:

• Low voltage digital signaling (LVDS) data output interface.
• Programmable gain transimpedance amplifier (PGTIA), low-pass filter (LPF), and ADC configuration via serial peripheral interface (SPI) and secure shell (SSH).
• On-board generation of 3.3V regulated supplies that power the board’s main circuitry, as well as other regulated supplies: 2.5V, 1.8V.
• Multiple on-board input options for ease of evaluation.
• Level shifters for flexibility on choice of FPGAs.

The EVAL-ADA4356EBZ evaluation board is a 6-layer printed circuit board (PCB) with dimensions of 3.957in × 2.717in. Figure 1 shows the board’s front and back view. The EVAL-ADA4356EBZ evaluation board comes populated with key circuits and components that allow for a straight-forward bench setup, which minimizes the need for additional bench top equipment.

Full specifications on the ADA4356 are available in the ADA4356 data sheet available from Analog Devices, Inc., and must be consulted with this user guide when using the EVAL-ADA4356EBZ evaluation board.
