EVAL-AD765xSDZ User Guide UG-535 EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE AD7656/AD7657/AD7658 DEVICE DESCRIPTION POWER SUPPLIES Each AD7656/AD7657/AD7658 device contains six 16-/14-/12-bit, fast, low power successive approximation ADCs in a package designed on the iCMOS(R) process (industrial CMOS). iCMOS is a process combining high voltage silicon with submicron CMOS and complementary bipolar technologies. It enables the development of a wide range of high performance analog ICs capable of 33 V operation in a footprint that no previous generation of high voltage parts could achieve. The EVAL-AD7656SDZ/EVAL-AD7657SDZ/EVAL-AD7658SDZ can be used in two modes: SDP controlled mode and standalone mode (see the Modes of Operation section for more information). There are also reduced decoupling pin- and software-compatible versions of these devices available: AD7656-1/AD7657-1/ AD7658-1. Both versions feature throughput rates of up to 250 kSPS. For more information about these devices, refer to the AD7656/AD7657/AD7658 data sheet, which should be used in conjunction with this user guide (or refer to the AD7656-1/ AD7657-1/AD7658-1 data sheet, which should be used in conjunction with the EVAL-AD7656-1SDZ/EVAL-AD7657-1SDZ/ EVAL-AD7658-1SDZ user guide (UG-417)). When the EVAL-AD7656SDZ/EVAL-AD7657SDZ/EVALAD7658SDZ board is used in conjunction with the EVAL-SDPCB1Z board (SDP controlled mode), connect the 9 V dc supply to Connector J702 on the EVAL-AD7656SDZ/EVAL-AD7657SDZ/ EVAL-AD7658SDZ board. The VDD, VSS, AVCC, and DVCC supplies are generated on board. When the EVAL-AD7656SDZ/EVALAD7657SDZ/EVAL-AD7658SDZ board is used in standalone mode, the VDD, VSS, AVCC, and DVCC supplies must be sourced from external sources (see Table 1). In SDP controlled mode and standalone mode, each supply is decoupled on the EVAL-AD7656SDZ/EVAL-AD7657SDZ/ EVAL-AD7658SDZ using 10 F and 0.1 F capacitors. A single ground plane is used on this board to minimize the effect of high frequency noise interference. Table 1.

Rev. 0 | Page 9 of 24 UG-535 EVAL-AD765xSDZ User Guide LINK CONFIGURATION OPTIONS There are multiple jumper (LKx) and solder link (SLx) options that must be set correctly to select the appropriate operating setup before you begin using the evaluation board. The functions of these options are outlined in Table 2. SETUP CONDITIONS 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. 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 2.

Table 4. Socket/Connector Functions The analog inputs on the EVAL-AD7656SDZ/EVAL-AD7657SDZ/ EVAL-AD7658SDZ are filtered and buffered by the AD8597 ultralow distortion, ultralow noise (single) op amps. Additional filtering is provided by an R-C filter directly before the AD7656/AD7657/ AD7658 inputs. Alternatively, the op amps can be bypassed, and the inputs can be fed directly to the AD7656/AD7657/AD7658 via the R-C filter.

EVAL-AD765xSDZ User Guide UG-535 MODES OF OPERATION SDP CONTROLLED MODE The AD7656/AD7657/AD7658 uses a high speed parallel interface that allows sampling rates of up to 250 kSPS. For more information about the operation of the parallel interface, refer to the AD7656/ AD7657/AD7658 data sheet. The AD7656/AD7657/AD7658 uses the parallel interface to transfer data to the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z. The EVAL-AD7656SDZ/EVAL-AD7657SDZ/EVAL-AD7658SDZ 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. STANDALONE MODE The EVAL-AD7656SDZ/EVAL-AD7657SDZ/EVAL-AD7658SDZ can also be used without the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z controller board. In this case, the EVAL-AD7656SDZ/EVAL-AD7657SDZ/EVALAD7658SDZ is connected to the serial interface using the J7 socket. For more information about the operation of the serial interface, refer to the AD7656/AD7657/AD7658 data sheet.

The Part Information box (labeled 2 in Figure 15) allows selecting the generic to be evaluated; choose AD7656, AD7657, or AD7658. File Menu (Section 1) Device Input Range Box (Section 3) The File menu (labeled 1 in Figure 15) offers the choice to The Device Input Range box (labeled 3 in Figure 15), in conjunction with hardware settings, is used to select the voltage range. * * * Resolution Box (Section 4) The Resolution box (labeled 4 in Figure 15) displays the resolution of the selected part in bits. Sampling Rate Box (Section 5) The default sampling frequency in the Sampling Rate box (labeled 5 in Figure 15) matches the maximum sample rate of the ADC being evaluated. Although you can adjust the sampling frequency, there are limitations in terms of the sample frequencies that can be entered. 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 being evaluated. 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. Exit Button (Section 6) Clicking Exit (labeled 6 in Figure 15) closes the software. Alternatively, you can select Exit from the File menu. Tabs Area (Section 7) 11338-016 * Load data: load previously captured data or example files in .tsv (tab separated values) format for analysis (see Figure 16). (The default location for example files is C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\AD7656_57_58\examples.) Save Data as .tsv: save captured data in .tsv format for future analysis (see Figure 17). Print Front Panel Picture: print the main window to the default printer. Save Picture: save the current screen capture. Exit: close the application. Figure 16. Load File Dialog Box: Loading Previously Captured Data or Example Files in .tsv Format There are four tabs available in the tabs area (labeled 7 in Figure 15) of the main window: 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 15) 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. # Samples Box (Section 8) The # Samples box (labeled 8 in Figure 15) allows you to select the number of samples to analyze. When Sample or Continuous is clicked, the software requests this number of samples to be taken. This is the total number of samples taken on all channels. Sample Button (Section 9) 11338-017 * Figure 17. Save File Dialog Box: Saving Data as .tsv Clicking Sample (labeled 9 in Figure 15) performs a single capture, acquiring a set number of samples at the selected sampling rate.

Figure 18. Waveform Tab Rev. 0 | Page 20 of 24 EVAL-AD765xSDZ User Guide UG-535 GENERATING A HISTOGRAM OF THE ADC CODE DISTRIBUTION The Histogram tab can be used to perform ac testing or, more commonly, dc testing. This tab shows the ADC code distribution of the input and computes the mean and standard deviation, which are displayed as Mean and Transition Noise, respectively, in the Histogram Analysis area (labeled 1 in Figure 19). Figure 19 shows the histogram with ac input for a 10 kHz sine wave applied to the ADC input and the resulting calculations. AC Input To perform a histogram test of ac input, 1. 2. 3. Apply a signal source to the selected analog input on the board. Click the Histogram tab from the main window. Click Sample. DC Input A histogram test of dc input can be performed with or without an external source because the evaluation board has a buffered VREF/2 source at the ADC input. To perform a histogram test of dc input, 1. 2. 3. If an external source is being used, apply a signal source to the selected analog input. It may be required to filter the signal to ensure that the dc source is noise-compatible with the ADC. Click the Histogram tab from the main window. Click Sample. Raw data is then captured and passed to the PC for statistical computations, and various measured values are displayed in the Histogram Analysis area. 11338-019 Raw data is then captured and passed to the PC for statistical computations, and various measured values are displayed in the Histogram Analysis area. Figure 19. Histogram Tab Rev. 0 | Page 21 of 24 UG-535 EVAL-AD765xSDZ User Guide GENERATING A FAST FOURIER TRANSFORM OF AC CHARACTERISTICS 2. 3. Figure 20 shows the FFT tab. This feature tests the traditional ac characteristics of the converter and displays a fast Fourier transform (FFT) of the results. As in the histogram test, raw data is then captured and passed to the PC, which performs the FFT and displays the resulting SNR, THD, and SINAD. To perform an ac FFT test, The Spectrum Analysis box displays the results of the captured data. Apply a sinusoidal signal with low distortion (better than 115 dB) to the evaluation board at the selected analog input. To attain the requisite low distortion, which is necessary to allow true evaluation of the part, one option is to a. Filter the input signal from the ac source. Choose an appropriate band-pass filter based on the sinusoidal signal applied. b. If a low frequency band-pass filter is used when the fullscale input range is more than a few volts peak-to-peak, use the on-board amplifiers to amplify the signal, thus preventing the filter from distorting the input signal. * * * The area labeled 1 in Figure 20 shows the input signal information. The area labeled 2 in Figure 20 displays the fundamental frequency and amplitude in addition to the second to fifth harmonics. The area labeled 3 in Figure 20 displays the performance data, including the SNR, THD, and SINAD. 11338-020 1. Click the FFT tab from the main window. Click Sample. Figure 20.
