Evaluation Boards
EVAL-AD7982SDZ
Overview
This document presents the steps to setup an environment for using the EVAL-AD7982SDZ
evaluation board together with the Xilinx KC705 FPGA board and the Xilinx Embedded Development
Kit (EDK). Below is presented a picture of the EVAL-AD7982SDZ Evaluation Board with the Xilinx
KC705 board.

For component evaluation and performance purposes, as opposed to quick prototyping, the user is
directed to use the part evaluation setup. This consists of:
1. A controller board like the SDP-B ( EVAL-SDP-CS1Z)
2. The component SDP compatible product evaluation board
3. Corresponding PC software ( shipped with the product evaluation board)
The SDP-B controller board is part of Analog Devices System Demonstration Platform (SDP). It
provides a high speed USB 2.0 connection from the PC to the component evaluation board. The PC
runs the evaluation software. Each evaluation board, which is an SDP compatible daughter board,
includes the necessary installation file required for performance testing.
Note: it is expected that the analog performance on the two platforms may differ.

Below is presented a picture of SDP-B Controller Board with the EVAL-AD7982SDZ Evaluation Board.
The AD7982 is an 18-bit, successive approximation, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates
from a single power supply, VDD. It contains a low power, high speed, 18-bit sampling ADC and a
versatile serial interface port. On the CNV rising edge, the AD7982 samples the voltage difference
between the IN+ and IN− pins. The voltages on these pins usually swing in opposite phases between
0 V and VREF. The reference voltage, REF, is applied externally and can be set independent of the
supply voltage, VDD. Its power scales linearly with throughput. The SPI-compatible serial interface
also features the ability, using the SDI input, to daisy-chain several ADCs on a single 3-wire bus and
provides an optional busy indicator. It is compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, and 5 V logic, using the
separate VIO supply.
The EVAL-AD7982SDZ evaluation board is a member of a growing number of boards available for the
SDP. It was designed to help customers evaluate performance or quickly prototype new AD7982
circuits and reduce design time. When using this evaluation board with the SDP board or Xilinx KC705
board, apply +7.5V as +Vs, a voltage between -2V and -5V as -Vs and +2.5V as VDD.

Run the Demonstration Project
Hardware Setup
Before connecting the ADI evaluation board to the Xilinx KC705 make sure that the
VADJ_FPGA voltage of the KC705 is set to 3.3V. For more details on how to change the
setting for VADJ_FPGA visit the Xilinx KC705 product page.
Use the FMC-SDP interposer to connect the ADI evaluation board to the Xilinx KC705 board on the
FMC LPC connector.
Connect the JTAG and UART cables to the KC705 and power up the FPGA board.
Start IMPACT, and double click “Boundary Scan”. Right click and select Initialize Chain. The program
should recognize the Kintex 7 device (see screenshot below).
Program the KC705 FPGA using the “Bit/download.bit” file provided in the reference design archive.
Power the ADI evaluation board.
Start a UART terminal and set the baud rate to 115200 bps.
At this point everything is set up and it is possible to start the evaluation of the ADI hardware. To
capture data from the ADC run the data_capture.bat script located in the DataCapture folder from the
reference design .zip file. Every time the script is run a new batch of 8192 samples are read from the
ADC at the ADC's maximum sampling rate and saved into the Acquisition.csv file located in the same
folder as the data capture script. On the UART terminal messages will be displayed to show the status
of the program running on the FPGA as shown in the picture below.

The first time the data capture script is run it is possible that an error will occur while the
script is trying to connect to the system. Just run the script again and the error shouldn't
appear anymore.
