AD7366/AD7367 DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The AD7366/AD7367 are dual 12-bit/14-bit, high speed, low
power, successive approximation analog-to-digital converters
(ADCs) that feature throughput rates up to 1 MSPS. The device
contains two ADCs, each preceded by a 2-channel multiplexer,
and a low noise, wide bandwidth track-and-hold amplifier.
The AD7366/AD7367 are fabricated on the Analog Devices,
Inc., industrial CMOS process (iCMOS2), which is a technology platform combining the advantages of low and high
voltage CMOS. The iCMOS® process allows the AD7366/
AD7367 to accept high voltage bipolar signals in addition
to reducing power consumption and package size.
The AD7366/AD7367 can accept true bipolar analog input
signals in the ±10 V range, ±5 V range, and 0 V to 10 V range.
The AD7366/AD7367 have an on-chip 2.5 V reference that can
be disabled to allow the use of an external reference. If a 3 V
reference is applied to the DCAPA and DCAPB pins, the AD7366/
AD7367 can accept a true bipolar ±12 V analog input. Minimum ±12 V VDD and VSS supplies are required for the ±12 V
input range.
Complete specifications for the AD7366/AD7367 are provided in
the AD7366/AD7367 data sheet, available from Analog Devices,
which should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide
when using the AD7366/AD7367 evaluation board.

The EVAL-AD7366SDZ/EVAL-AD7367SDZ communicates
with the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z board using level shifters. The
EVAL-SDP-CB1Z operates at a 3.3 V logic level. This allows
VDRIVE voltages that exceed 3.3 V to be used without
damaging the SDP interface.
Details of the serial interface can be found in the AD7366/
AD7367 data sheet.
SDP LIMITATIONS
Due to limitations in the speed of the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z in this
application, the maximum sample rate is limited to 800000
samples per second. This limitation does not apply when using the

Figure 16. Waveform Capture Tab
WAVEFORM CAPTURE
Figure 16 illustrates the waveform capture tab. The input signal
here is a 50 kHz sine wave.
The waveform analysis (labeled 1) reports back the amplitudes
recorded from the captured signal in addition to the frequency
of the signal tone.

Figure 17. Histogram Capture Tab
AC TESTING–HISTOGRAM
Figure 17 shows the histogram capture tab. This tests the ADC
for the code distribution for ac input. In addition, it computes
the mean and standard deviation, or transition noise of the
converter, and displays the results.
Raw data is captured and passed to the PC for statistical
computations. To perform a histogram test, select the
Histogram tab from the test selection window and click Start.
Note that an ac histogram needs a quality signal source applied
to the input SK1/SK3 connectors. Figure 17 shows the histogram for a 50 kHz sine wave applied to the ADC input with the
results calculated.
The area labeled as 1 in Figure 17 Illustrates the different
measured values for the data captured.
DC TESTING–HISTOGRAM
More commonly, the histogram is for dc testing. In these cases,
a user tests the ADC for the code distribution for dc input and
computes the mean and standard deviation, or transition noise
of the converter, and displays the results. Raw data is captured
and passed to the PC for statistical computations. To perform a
histogram test, select the Histogram tab from the test selection
window and click Start.

Figure 18. FFT Capture Tab
AC TESTING–FFT CAPTURE
Figure 18 shows the FFT capture tab. This 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 captured and passed to the PC where the FFT is
performed displaying SNR, SINAD, THD, and SFDR.
To perform an ac test, apply a sinusoidal signal to the evaluation
board at the SMB inputs J4/63. Low distortion, better than
115 dB, is required to allow true evaluation of the part. One
possibility is to filter the input signal from the ac source. There
is no suggested band-pass filter, but consideration should be
taken in the choice. Furthermore, if using a low frequency
band-pass filter when the full-scale input range is more than a
few V p-p, it is recommended to use the on-board amplifiers to
amplify the signal, thus preventing the filter from distorting the
input signal.
Figure 18 displays the results of the captured data. Label 1
in Figure 18 shows the input signal information. The portions
of Figure 18 labeled 2 display the fundamental frequency and
amplitude in addition to the 2nd to 5th harmonics. See label 3
also which displays the performance data (SNR, dynamic range,
THD, SINAD, and noise performance.)
