Features and Benefits

Dual-path, low noise design for broad coverage from DC to 5GHz
- High-speed path with AD9213, a low noise 12-bit ADC running at 10GSPS
- ADL5580, a fully differential 10GHz ADC driver
- Precision path with AD4080, a 20-bit, 40MSPS, differential SAR ADC reduces 1/f noise
ADC driver input, biased with DAC output voltage, adjusts DC offset of unipolar signal
- Single-ended unipolar signal with DC offset to differential signal conversion by ADL5580
- ADL5580 biased by DAC LTC2664 output for maximizing AD9213 input dynamic range
FMC+ HSPC connector for interface with Xilinx VCU118 FPGA board

Product Details

The ADMX6001-EBZ is a reference design of a DC-coupled single channel 10GSPS digitizer featuring the AD9213, a low noise, 12-bit high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and the AD4080, a 20-bit precision ADC. The dual-path design achieves true low noise digitization in the broadband from DC to 5GHz. By biasing the ADC driver ADL5580 with the precision digital-to-analog converter (DAC) LTC2664, the ADMX6001-EBZ is capable of handling unipolar and bipolar signals at various DC levels, maximizing utility of the input dynamic range of AD9213. This design is ideal for high performance time-domain instruments such as time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF MS), distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS), and digital oscilloscope.

This document guides the setup and evaluation of the ADMX6001- EBZ board in conjunction with the Xilinx VCU118 field programmable gate array (FPGA) board.
