Figure 15. Device Manager: Checking that the Board Is Connected to the PC Correctly Rev. 0 | Page 7 of 32 UG-609 EVAL-AD7903SDZ User Guide EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE DEVICE DESCRIPTION The AD7903 is a 16-bit, 1 MSPS, precision, power efficient, dual differential PulSAR ADC that uses SAR-based architecture and does not exhibit any pipeline delay or latency. The AD7903 is specified for use with a single supply of 2.5 V (VDD1, VDD2). The interface from the digital host to the AD7903 uses 1.8 V/ 2.5 V/3.3 V/5.5 V logic. The AD7903 is compatible with the SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP serial interface to transfer data conversions. Complete AD7903 specifications are provided in the AD7903 data sheet and should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the evaluation board. Full details on the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z are available on the Analog Devices website, at www.analog.com. Figure 26 to Figure 31 show the evaluation board schematics. The board consists of an AD7903 ADC (U1) with a reference (U6—ADR435), and several ADC drivers (U12, U14, U16, and U17—ADA4841-1YRZ). The evaluation board is a flexible design that enables you to adjust compensation components and operate the evaluation board from an adjustable bench top power supply. Each on-board power supply is decoupled where it enters the board as well as where it connects to each device. A single ground plane is used on this board to minimize the effect of high frequency noise interference. Alternatively, the board can be powered from a bench top power supply by using the J2 and J3 screw terminals and changing the SL1 to SL4 and LK3 to LK5 solder link settings to Position B (see Table 2). When bench top power is used, use of the wall adapter and the on-board power supplies are no longer required. Table 2. Solder Links—Settings for Bench Top Power Supply1 Link SL1 SL2 SL3 SL4 LK3 LK4 LK5 1 The evaluation board can be powered from a wall adapter or from a bench top power supply. By default, the board is set up to operate from a 9 V wall adapter using the on-board power supplies described in Table 1. Table 1.

Simplified Evaluation Board Functional Block Diagram Rev. 0 | Page 9 of 32 11800-016 ADA4841-1 UG-609 EVAL-AD7903SDZ User Guide LINK CONFIGURATION OPTIONS Care should be taken before applying power and signals to the evaluation board to ensure that all link positions are as required by the operating mode. There are two modes in which to operate the evaluation board. The evaluation board can be operated in SDP controlled mode to be used with the SDP board, or the evaluation board can be used in standalone mode. When operating in SDP controlled mode, ensure that VIO is 3.3 V. Operating with a VIO greater than 3.3 V in SDP controlled mode may damage the SDP board. The Default Position column of Table 3 shows the default positions in which the links are set when the evaluation board is packaged. When the board is shipped, it is assumed that you are going to operate the evaluation board with the SDP board (SDP controlled mode). Table 3.

Rev. 0 | Page 10 of 32 EVAL-AD7903SDZ User Guide UG-609 EVALUATION BOARD CIRCUITRY ANALOG INPUTS The analog inputs to the evaluation board are SMA Connectors J6, J7, J10, and J15. These inputs are buffered with dedicated amplifier circuitry (U12, U14, U16, and U17), as shown in Figure 26 and Figure 27. The circuit not only allows different configurations, input range scaling, and filtering but also allows adding a dc component and using different op amps and supplies. The analog input amplifiers are set as unity-gain buffers by factory default. The amplifier positive rail is driven from 7.5 V (from U13— ADP7104). The negative amplifier rail is driven from –VS (generated by U3—ADP2301). The default configuration sets all op amps (U12, U14, U16, and U17) at midscale, generated from a buffered reference voltage divider (VCM). The evaluation board is configured by factory default for providing a differential analog input path to ADC1 and ADC2 (see Figure 16). For dynamic performance, an FFT test can be done by applying a very low distortion ac source. a balanced and floating ground. Different sources can be used; however, most are single-ended sources that use a fixed output resistance. By default, the evaluation board uses the amplifiers as unity-gain buffers. The noninverting input has a common-mode adjustment that involves a 49.9 kΩ shunt resistor. This resistor creates a voltage divider with the source, which must be accounted for when using the board. REFERENCE An external 5 V reference (U6—ADR435) is used to supply the ADCs directly. SERIAL INTERFACE The evaluation board uses the SPORT interface from the ADSP-BF527 DSP. Multiple AND gates (U9, U10, and U11) are used to clock and gate the SPORT transfer to the ADC device. For low frequency testing, the audio precision source can be used directly because its outputs are isolated. Set the outputs for Rev. 0 | Page 11 of 32 UG-609 EVAL-AD7903SDZ User Guide MODES OF OPERATION SDP CONTROLLED MODE STANDALONE MODE The AD7903 uses a high speed serial interface that allows sampling rates of up to 1 MSPS. For more information about the operation of the serial interface, refer to the AD7903 data sheet. The EVAL-AD7903SDZ can also be used without the EVAL-SDPCB1Z controller board. In this case, the EVAL-AD7903SDZ is connected to the serial interface using the J5 connector or the test points. For more information about the operation of the serial interface, refer to the AD7903 data sheet. The AD7903 uses the serial interface to transfer data to the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z. The EVAL-AD7903SDZ communicates with the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z board using level shifters. The EVAL-SDP-CB1Z operates at a 3.3 V logic level, which allows logic voltages that exceed 3.3 V to be used without damaging the SDP interface. Rev. 0 | Page 12 of 32 EVAL-AD7903SDZ User Guide UG-609 HOW TO USE THE SOFTWARE 3. SETTING UP THE SYSTEM FOR DATA CAPTURE: BOARD OPERATION/CONNECTION SEQUENCE After finding the evaluation board, the software connects to the board and displays the dialog box shown in Figure 18. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Connect the SDP controller board to the evaluation board with the J5 connector (screw into place as required). The software is configured to find the evaluation board on either the J4 or J5 connector of the SDP board. Power the board with the appropriate supply, as described in the Power Supplies section.

If an unusable sample frequency is input, the software automatically adjusts the sample frequency accordingly. Units can be entered as, for example, 10k for 10,000 Hz. The software automatically adjusts the sample frequency according to the ability of the ADC connected to the board. For example, if you enter a value that is beyond the ability of the device, the software indicates this and reverts to the maximum sample frequency. Select Channels Checkboxes Select either Channel 1 or Channel 2 or both to read the data from a single ADC or both ADCs simultaneously. Tabs Area Eval Board Connected Box The Eval Board Connected box displays the evaluation board connected to the USB port—either EVAL-AD7902SDZ or EVAL-AD7903SDZ. When an evaluation board is not connected to the USB port, the software can be operated in standalone mode for data analysis, and the part information notes the part number from the saved data file. ADC Settings Area The ADC Settings section allows changing the sampling frequency and the reference voltage value, as well as selecting Channel 1 or Channel 2. There are five tabs available in the tabs area of the main window: Configure, Waveform, Histogram, FFT, and Summary. These tabs display the data in different formats. Navigation tools are provided within each tab to allow you to control the cursor, zooming, and panning (see Figure 22) within the graphs displayed. Each tab is described in more detail in the Generating a Waveform Analysis Report; Generating a Histogram of the ADC Code Distribution; Generating a Fast Fourier Transform of AC Characteristics; and Generating a Summary of the Waveform, Histogram, and Fast Fourier Transform sections. Single Capture Button Clicking Single Capture performs a single capture from the ADC. Reference Voltage (V) Box Continuous Capture Button By default, the external reference voltage is 5 V (ADR435 on-board reference). The minimum/maximum voltage calculations are based on this reference voltage. If you change the reference voltage, you must change this input accordingly. Clicking Continuous Capture performs a continuous capture from the ADC. Sampling Freq (Hz) Box The default sampling frequency (10000000 Hz) in the Sampling Freq (Hz) box matches the maximum sample rate of the ADC connected to the board. Although you can adjust the sampling frequency, there are limitations in terms of the sample frequencies that can be entered related to the SCLK frequency applied. The Num Samples Box The Num Samples box allows you to select the number of samples to analyze. Exit Button Clicking the Exit button (in the upper right corner of the window) closes the software.

Decouple all the power supply pins (VDD1, VDD2, and VIO) and the REF pin with low ESR and low ESL ceramic • 11800-032 • • capacitors, typically 10 µF and 100 nF, placed close to the DUT (U1) and connected using short, wide traces to provide low impedance paths and to reduce the effect of glitches on the power supply lines. Separate analog and digital sections and keep power supply circuitry away from the AD7903. Avoid running digital lines under the device and crossover of digital and analog signals because these couple noise into the AD7903. Figure 32.
