EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The AD7761 is an 8-channel, simultaneously sampling, Σ-Δ
ADC. The AD7761 offers an ADC per channel and synchronized
sampling. The ADC power scaling is as required for the
application, catered for by selecting one of the following modes
of operation:
Fast: 256 kSPS maximum, 110.8 kHz input bandwidth,
52 mW per channel
Median: 128 kSPS maximum, 55.4 kHz input bandwidth,
28 mW per channel
Focus: 32 kSPS maximum, 13.8 kHz input bandwidth,
9.5 mW per channel
The AD7761 offers extensive digital filtering:
Wideband: low ripple, antialiasing, low-pass filter with
sharp roll off, and full attenuation at Nyquist frequency.
Sinc response: sinc5 filter, low latency path for dc
measurements or control loops.
Within these filter options, the user can select a decimation rate
of 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024.
Embedded analog functionality on each ADC channel simplifies
system design. A precharge buffer on each analog input reduces
analog input current.
Complete specifications for the AD7761 are provided in the
product data sheet and should be consulted in conjunction with
this user guide when using the evaluation board. Full details
about the EVAL-SDP-CH1Z are available on the Analog
Devices, Inc., website.
HARDWARE LINK OPTIONS
The default link options are listed in Table 1. The board can be
configured to operate from a bench top power supply via
Connector J3, or from a 9 V dc adapter via Connector J1. The
supply required for the AD7761 comes from the on-board low
dropout regulators (LDOs), which generate their input voltage
from J1 or J3, depending on the setting of LK1. Alternatively,
the board can be powered by setting LK2 to Position A when used
in conjunction with the EVAL-SDP-CH1Z (see Table 3 for details).

POWER SUPPLIES
SERIAL CONFIGURATION INTERFACE
The evaluation board requires that an external power supply,
either a bench top supply or a wall wart (dc plug) supply, be
applied to J1 or J3 (see Table 3 for more information). Linear
regulators generate the required power supply levels from the
applied VIN rail. The regulators used are the 5 V ADP7118 (U1
and U7), which supply AVDD1, the on-board amplifiers and
reference, and the 3.3 V ADP7118 (U16), which delivers 3.3 V
to the IOVDD pin of the AD7761.
The AD7761 is configured by the EVAL-SDP-CH1Z via a
4-wire SPI interface. SL1 must be shorted to Position A for this
mode to be active.
SERIAL DATA INTERFACE
The AD7761 evaluation board outputs conversion results to the
EVAL-SDP-CH1Z via the eight data output pins, DOUT0 to
DOUT7. The serial data interface also includes signals such as
SCLK, DCLK, and DRDY (all are outputs).
POWERING DOWN THE SYSTEM DEMONSTRATION
PLATFORM
When disconnecting the SDP-H1 evaluation platform and
powering down the system, first exit the evaluation software.
Then, press the reset button on the EVAL-SDP-CH1Z board
before disconnecting the 12 V supply and then the USB.
Failure to follow this procedure can cause damage to the
EVAL-SDP-CH1Z board.

Registers Tab
Example
The Registers tab allows precise control of the AD7761
registers, allowing them to be read back and written to. The
registers are grouped together and can be altered in a number of
ways, as shown in Figure 22. The register to be written to can be
selected from the register map, located on the left hand side of
the Registers tab. Individual register bits can be changed from
the register section, or the entire register can also be written to
by writing the required hexadecimal value. Drop-down options
can be selected from the Bitfields section, or the entire bit field
can be written to with a hexadecimal value.
In this example, a sample is taken and analyzed with the help of
the AD7761 software. The desired data is expected on Channel 2 of
the ADC.
The following equipment is required:
•
•
•
•
•
•
A particular register configuration can be saved to be loaded
again at a later time.

Precharge Buffers: Register Operation
14323-023
The precharge buffers operate differently than the other registers.
To change these registers, it is recommended to navigate to the
Registers tab, select Precharge Buffer 1 or Precharge Buffer 2
from the register map, and change the value of these registers
using the hexadecimal value located on the right hand side of
the Register section (see Figure 23). The software reads back the
status of the registers correctly; however, to change a bit to 0, for
example, a 1 must be written to the given bit in the register. See
the AD7761 data sheet for more details.
Connect the evaluation board to the SDP-H1 board.
Set both LK1 and LK2 to Position B on the evaluation
board.
Power up both boards, and then connect the SDP-H1
board to the PC via the USB cable supplied.
Start the AD7761 evaluation software. Wait for the Busy
indicator to turn off.
Configure the Audio Precision source to the following
settings, and connect the output to the Channel 2 input, as
follows:
• Select a sine wave output and High Acc
• Set the output to balanced float
• Set the frequency to 1 kHz
• Set the amplitude to 7.734 V p-p

If not using the default configuration ensure that MCLK (Hz)
and Ext. REF (V) on the software configuration tab are set
to match the clock frequency and reference voltage supplied
to the chip (by default, 32.768 MHz and 4.096 V).
7. Set the number of samples per channel to 32,768 (default).
8. Configure the registers as required using the pop-up
menus under the Configuration tab. For this example, the
settings are wideband filter, decimation by 32, fast power
mode, and MCLK divide by four (all default).
9. Click Sample to take a reading. Wait for the Busy indicator
to turn off.
10. The sampled data is now present in the data capture tabs
(Waveform, FFT, and Histogram tabs). Change between
each of these to view the results. In this case, select
Channel 2 on the channel enable and disable check boxes
to view the desired data on Channel 2.
11. Under the FFT tab, the FFT analysis displays results similar
to the following:
