Product Details

The EV-ADIN1320FMCZ evaluation board is designed to simplify the testing and integration of the ADIN1320, a low-power, single-port Gigabit Ethernet physical layer (PHY) optimized for industrial applications. The platform enables comprehensive evaluation of the ADIN1320 functionality, including Ethernet and serializer/deserializer (SerDes) interfaces. By supporting the ADIN1320 copper and fiber Ethernet capabilities, the platform allows evaluation of the following:

  • Copper Ethernet: 10BASE-Te, 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T
  • Fiber and SerDes protocols: 1000BASE-X, 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-KX

The evaluation board integrates two ADIN1320 PHYs, each connected to an RJ45 connector with integrated magnetics for copper connectivity and configured to support different SGMII interface options as follows:

  • Port 0 ADIN1320 with an SFP cage for fiber or copper SGMII modules
  • Port 1 ADIN1320 with SMA connectors for SGMII signal access

Both PHYs have their media access control (MAC) I/O pins routed to a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) mezzanine card (FMC) connector, which allow seamless integration with FMC-compatible FPGA or system on a chip (SoC) platforms. An included GBPHY-FMC-B2B expansion board enables MAC signal probing, MAC loopback, and back-to-back PHY connection for advanced evaluation scenarios.

Power can be supplied by USB-C, terminal block (P23), or barrel connector (P4). On-board DC-DC converters and buck regulators generate all required rails, with easy VDDIO level switching by a rotary switch and current measurement points for AVDD_3P3, DVDD_0P9, and VDDIO.
